brainstorm

Brainstorming transforms an initial concept into a fully-formed design through guided, iterative questioning. The Skill asks clarifying questions one at a time—preferably multiple-choice—to deepen understanding, then delivers the evolving design in structured sections of 200–300 words, enabling continuous feedback and refinement.

Brainstorming works for both early-stage product concepts and individual feature ideas. It's designed to guide planning at the inception phase, helping you flesh out requirements, user flows, and technical considerations before development begins.

The Skill reviews your current project state first to ensure the brainstormed design aligns with existing work. This contextual understanding prevents disconnects between new ideas and your established codebase or architecture, keeping designs coherent with your current direction.

Structured brainstorming breaks planning into one question per message with manageable design sections. This cadence keeps collaboration focused, prevents overwhelm, and lets team members digest and respond to each piece incrementally rather than facing one large design document.

No prerequisite design expertise is required. The Skill guides you through the entire process with targeted questions and delivers sections you can refine iteratively. It handles the structure; you provide the vision and feedback.

Vagueness is the problem brainstorming solves. Begin with whatever concept you have—even a rough direction or pain point. The Skill's opening questions clarify the idea incrementally, transforming initial fuzziness into concrete requirements and design decisions.
