What problem does it solve?
This skill structures collaborative ideation so teams and agents can explore multiple design and architecture options, avoid premature solutions, and produce a documented, approval-ready design artifact.
Core Features & Use Cases
- Clarifying Discovery: Guided Phase 1 questioning to surface goals, constraints, existing patterns, and success criteria.
- Structured Exploration: Phase 2 presents 2-3 genuinely distinct approaches with explicit pros, cons, and a recommended option.
- Design Documentation & Handoff: Phase 3 produces a numbered requirements-based design saved to the repo and integrates with MCP state, gate checks, and automated chaining to planning.
- Use Case: Run during feature ideation to converge on a design and produce a traceable design file that downstream planning and implementation can reference.
Quick Start
Ask the agent: let's ideate on a new feature, describe goals and constraints, and present 2-3 approaches with trade-offs and a recommended option.
