SYSTEM DOCUMENTATION & REQUIREMENTS

What problem does it solve?

Brainstorm guides teams from open questions to a concrete, converged decision by structuring exploration, identifying viable options, and surfacing key tradeoffs.

Core Features & Use Cases

  • Explore multiple approaches and surface constraints to inform decision-making.
  • Receive direct guidance and pushback to prevent premature commitments.
  • Converge conversation through iterative dialogue to a single recommended path.
  • Bridge to planning by producing a clear rationale for the chosen direction.

Quick Start

Start with a question you want to resolve. Invoke the brainstorm skill to explore options, discuss tradeoffs, and converge on a recommended direction. When ready, proceed to /create-plan to formalize the plan.

FAQPage Schema
How do I converge multiple planning options into a single decision?

To converge multiple planning options into a single decision, you can use structured dialogue to explore approaches, evaluate tradeoffs, and assess risks until a recommended path emerges. This prevents premature commitments by surfacing constraints.

What is the best way to evaluate tradeoffs during requirements brainstorming?

Evaluating tradeoffs during requirements brainstorming involves exploring multiple approaches and surfacing key constraints through interactive dialogue. This structured exploration identifies viable options and delivers direct guidance to prevent premature commitments.

How do I structure a risk assessment for complex decision-making?

Structuring a risk assessment for complex decision-making requires iterating through option evaluation and constraint analysis. By exploring viable paths and discussing tradeoffs, you can identify potential risks and produce a clear rationale for the chosen direction.

Can I use structured dialogue to guide my team from research to a concrete plan?

Yes, using structured dialogue to guide your team from research to a concrete plan applies interactive phases like explore, advise, and converge. This approach transitions open questions into ready-to-use rationales without requiring code changes.

When should I not use a convergence approach for planning?

You should avoid a convergence approach for planning when dealing with simple, single-option scenarios that lack complex tradeoffs. This structured dialogue method is designed for multi-option environments requiring iterative evaluation and risk assessment.
