What problem does it solve?
This Skill helps turn an uncertain idea into a safe, well-scoped design before any implementation begins. It is built for situations where you need to understand context, uncover assumptions, compare alternatives, and validate the direction before committing to work.
Core Features & Use Cases
- Gathers project context by reading relevant files and surrounding documentation first.
- Guides one-question-at-a-time clarification to refine goals, constraints, dependencies, and success criteria.
- Proposes multiple realistic approaches with tradeoffs, then presents a structured design for approval.
- Supports optional visual brainstorming for mockups, diagrams, and layout comparisons when a browser-based companion is useful.
- Fits workflow tasks such as repository onboarding, feature design, refactor planning, planning documentation, and design pressure-testing.
