When should I use the brainstorming skill?

Use it before starting any creative or constructive work, such as new features, component architecture, or significant behavior changes in your codebase.

Does this skill write implementation code?

No, this skill is explicitly forbidden from coding. Its purpose is to facilitate the design and specification phase to ensure the right thing is built before implementation starts.

What is the 'Understanding Lock' step?

The Understanding Lock is a mandatory gate where the AI provides a summary of goals, assumptions, and constraints which the user must explicitly confirm before any design is proposed.

Can I skip straight to the design phase?

No, the skill follows a strict process starting with context review and a discovery dialogue to prevent hidden assumptions from leading to fragile system designs.

How does this skill handle project documentation?

It maintains a running Decision Log and, once a design is finalized, generates a durable Markdown document containing the summary, assumptions, and final design for the project records.

Transforms vague ideas into validated technical designs through structured dialogue and disciplined reasoning before implementation begins.

The Brainstorming skill acts as a senior design facilitator within Claude Code, enforcing a disciplined approach to software planning. It prevents premature implementation by slowing down the development process to clarify goals, identify constraints, and document trade-offs. By requiring a mandatory 'Understanding Lock' and maintaining a persistent Decision Log, it ensures that every feature or architectural change is backed by a solid, documented rationale and explicit user confirmation before any code is written.

主要功能

01Structured discovery through incremental, one-question-at-a-time dialogue to ensure shared clarity.

02Comparative analysis of 2-3 viable design approaches with clear trade-offs regarding complexity and risk.

03Automated Decision Log maintenance to preserve the 'why' behind architectural choices.

04Rigorous focus on non-functional requirements including performance, scale, and security constraints.

05Mandatory 'Understanding Lock' phase to synchronize goals, constraints, and non-goals.
