What problem does it solve? Jumping straight into code without a validated design leads to wasted work, unexamined assumptions, and misaligned implementations. This Skill enforces a structured brainstorming workflow that explores user intent, requirements, and design trade-offs before any code is written. ## Core Features & Use Cases - Structured Design Dialogue: Explores project context, asks clarifying questions one at a time, proposes 2-3 approaches with trade-offs, and presents the design in sections for incremental approval. - Spec Generation and Review: Writes the approved design to a dated spec file, runs a self-review for placeholders, contradictions, and ambiguity, then gates implementation on explicit user approval. - Visual Companion Server: Includes a browser-based companion (Express/WebSocket server) for showing mockups, wireframes, and side-by-side layout comparisons during visual design questions. - Use Case: Before building a new feature, use this Skill to interview the user about purpose and constraints, compare architectural approaches, and produce a committed design document that feeds directly into implementation planning. ## Quick Start Ask the agent to brainstorm the design for your new feature before writing any code, and answer its clarifying questions one at a time.
