brainstorm

Requirements discovery for AI coding workflows improves by capturing tasks first, gathering context before asking questions, and using research for technical decisions. This reduces ambiguity and streamlines the planning phase before implementation begins.

The diverge and converge approach for code planning expands initial thinking to explore options, then converges to define an MVP with explicit out-of-scope considerations. It ensures research-driven decisions rather than relying on users to invent options.

To start a collaborative brainstorming session, trigger the skill with the command `$start` when describing your development task. This immediately captures the idea and ensures a task exists at the beginning of the workflow.

Yes, this requirements discovery skill requires PRD maintenance and task creation to function correctly. It uses a task-first approach to capture ideas immediately and maintain structured context throughout the workflow.

The AI gathers context before asking questions during code planning to reduce low-value inquiries. By taking action before asking, it ensures that user interactions are focused on informed, research-driven decision-making rather than basic information gathering.

The best way to define an MVP scope with AI coding tools is to use a diverge then converge methodology. This expands thinking to explore possibilities and then narrows focus to the MVP with explicit out-of-scope considerations.
