When should I use the Brainstorming skill?

Use it during the initial ideation and design phase, specifically before writing code or implementation plans, to refine rough ideas into actionable, validated designs.

Where are the finalized designs stored?

Validated designs are automatically written to your project's docs/plans/ folder as timestamped markdown files and committed to your git repository.

How does the skill present design options?

It proposes 2-3 different approaches with specific trade-offs, recommending the most suitable path based on your project's current state and constraints.

What is the benefit of the 'one question at a time' approach?

It prevents overwhelming the user with complex requirements, ensuring each aspect of the design is carefully considered and validated before moving to the next.

Does this skill generate code immediately?

No, it focuses on the design and documentation phase first to ensure the architecture is sound. It transitions to implementation plans only after the design is validated.

Refines rough ideas into fully-formed technical designs through iterative questioning and alternative exploration.

The Brainstorming skill transforms abstract concepts into concrete technical specifications through a structured, collaborative dialogue. Instead of rushing to implementation, it guides you through an exploration of project constraints, architectural trade-offs, and incremental validation. By breaking down complex design decisions into single, focused questions and documenting the final consensus in professional-grade markdown files, it ensures that your development process starts with a clear, validated roadmap while ruthlessly avoiding unnecessary complexity through YAGNI principles.
