Does this skill provide multiple design options?

Yes, it is designed to propose 2-3 different approaches for every major feature, including specific trade-offs and a recommended path forward.

Can I use this for existing codebases?

Absolutely. It begins every session by checking the current project state, files, and recent commits to ensure all suggestions are contextually relevant.

What is the main benefit of using the Brainstorming skill?

It ensures that ideas are fully vetted and designed before any code is written, reducing rework and ensuring alignment with project goals.

How does it handle documentation?

Once a design is validated, the skill automatically writes a detailed design document to your project's repository and commits it to Git.

How does it help prevent over-engineering?

The skill ruthlessly applies YAGNI (You Ain't Gonna Need It) principles to strip away unnecessary features and complexity during the design phase.

生产力与工作流

Guides developers through structured dialogue to transform initial ideas into comprehensive, validated technical specifications before implementation.

关于

The Brainstorming skill acts as a collaborative architect, bridging the gap between vague feature ideas and production-ready designs. By employing a Socratic method of one-at-a-time questioning, it ensures that user intent and project constraints are fully understood. The skill prevents over-engineering through ruthless YAGNI principles, proposes multiple architectural approaches with clear trade-offs, and validates designs incrementally to ensure total alignment. Once finalized, it automates the creation of versioned design documentation, providing a robust foundation for the subsequent implementation phase.
