Why does it propose multiple technical approaches?

By presenting 2-3 different options with trade-offs, it allows developers to weigh factors like performance, scalability, and complexity before starting work.

How does it handle over-engineering?

It ruthlessly applies YAGNI (You Ain't Gonna Need It) principles to remove unnecessary features and focus only on what is required for success.

What happens after the brainstorming session is complete?

The skill automatically documents the validated design in your repository and offers to set up isolated git worktrees for the implementation phase.

How does the brainstorming skill improve the design process?

It uses a structured dialogue to ask clarifying questions one at a time, preventing information overload and ensuring a deep understanding of project requirements.

生产力与工作流

Refines abstract ideas into structured technical designs through collaborative dialogue and incremental validation.

关于

This skill transforms vague project concepts into fully-formed technical specifications by guiding Claude through a structured brainstorming process. It emphasizes active listening, asking one targeted question at a time, and exploring multiple architectural approaches with clear trade-offs. By breaking designs into digestible sections and enforcing YAGNI (You Ain't Gonna Need It) principles, it ensures that implementation plans are both lean and comprehensive before code is written, ultimately documenting the final design and prepping the environment for development.
