brainstorm

To turn a feature idea into a structured design specification, you can use an interactive planning process that explores your codebase, asks targeted questions about scope and architecture, and outputs a detailed design spec document.

The best way to gather requirements for new feature development involves interactively refining the feature concept by exploring relevant project files, clarifying data modeling decisions, and generating a structured markdown design document.

To explore an existing codebase for planning a new web application feature, you analyze the project structure and tech stack patterns, which helps identify relevant files and confirm the feature scope before writing code.

Yes, you can generate a design spec document without writing code first by interactively defining the feature concept, making architecture and data model decisions through targeted Q&A, and outputting a brainstorm.md file.

If your feature ideation lacks clear scope and data models, you should undergo an iterative refinement process that asks clarifying questions about your architecture to finalize the design specification.

Brainstorming a feature specification does not require purely manual codebase exploration, as the process automatically identifies relevant files and tech stack patterns to inform scoping and data modeling decisions.
