brainstorming

Socratic discovery for design exploration uses targeted clarifying questions to surface assumptions and align stakeholders before planning. It guides teams through a structured sequence to reduce rework on ambiguous multi-feature initiatives.

To create a design document from ambiguous requirements, activate a structured brainstorming session. The process synthesizes context from Linear issues and prior learnings, producing a structured brief with rationale, options, and tradeoffs for stakeholder approval.

Yes, you can use Linear issue data for context gathering in design planning. The system aggregates Linear issue descriptions alongside CLAUDE.md learnings and prior auto-memory to form a shared understanding for the design brief.

Design exploration works effectively for architectural changes and complex integrations. The structured discovery process applies to multi-feature initiatives where requirements are ambiguous, ensuring thorough context synthesis before generating the design documentation.

The best way to align stakeholders before planning is through a Socratic discovery session. By exploring alternatives and producing a structured design brief with clear tradeoffs, teams achieve shared understanding and approve the direction before implementation begins.
