Why use this skill for simple projects?

Simple projects are where unexamined assumptions cause the most wasted work. This skill ensures a minimal design is approved to prevent re-work later.

How does the question-and-answer process work?

Claude asks questions one at a time to avoid overwhelming the user, focusing on purpose, constraints, and success criteria.

Where are the design documents stored?

Designs are saved as Markdown files in the docs/plans/ directory and committed to your repository's git history.

Does this skill generate implementation code?

No. This skill is strictly for design and planning. It hands off the approved design to the writing-plans skill for implementation preparation.

What is the 'Hard Gate' in this skill?

It is a strict rule that prevents Claude from writing any code or scaffolding until a design has been presented and explicitly approved by the user.

生产力与工作流

Facilitates structured collaborative design and requirements gathering before any code is written.

The Brainstorming skill is a specialized workflow for Claude Code designed to prevent technical debt and wasted effort caused by unexamined assumptions. It enforces a strict pre-implementation phase where Claude explores project context, asks iterative clarifying questions, and proposes multiple architectural approaches. By requiring formal user approval and generating persistent design documentation in the repository, it ensures that even the simplest features are properly scoped and aligned with project goals before transitioning to implementation planning.
