brainstorming

Clarify ambiguous feature requirements through guided questioning that uncovers purpose, users, constraints, and success criteria. The skill proposes targeted questions one at a time to resolve uncertainty and identify relevant existing patterns before any implementation begins.

Explore trade-offs by comparing concrete design options side by side. The skill proposes multiple approaches and explicitly outlines the pros, cons, and ideal use cases for each, helping you choose the right path based on your specific constraints.

Turn unclear user requests into clear product decisions by structuring the brainstorming process around targeted questions and multi-approach exploration. This captures key decisions, identifies open questions, and produces a concise design summary for handoff.

Structured brainstorming applies to component changes and edge case analysis by guiding you through purpose, constraints, and relevant existing patterns. It helps surface multiple interpretations and design options for any unclear feature request.

After finalizing design options, proceed to planning. The skill explicitly hands off by summarizing key decisions, identifying open questions, and guiding you toward the next planning phase with a concise design summary.

Avoid structured brainstorming when requirements are already clear or when a single implementation path is predetermined without room for trade-offs. It is designed for resolving ambiguity and exploring multiple approaches, not for straightforward execution.
