brainstorming

To create a design specification, you refine project requirements by asking clarifying questions, propose multiple approaches with trade-offs, and document the design for review. This ensures a clear understanding before implementation begins.

The best way to brainstorm software design is to explore the project context, ask detailed questions one at a time, and present 2-3 different approaches with trade-offs and recommendations for user approval.

You need a structured spec review process when starting a new software development project to ensure the design is structurally complete and design-soundness is approved before moving into implementation.

Yes, you can use collaborative dialogue to break down the design into sections and get user approval after each section. This iterative process helps refine the design specification before final documentation.

You document the design by writing a design doc and committing it to git. This is followed by a spec review loop to ensure the specification is structurally complete and design-soundness is approved.

Structured brainstorming requires adherence to a collaborative dialogue and a structured review process, which may slow down rapid prototyping. It focuses on understanding requirements and refining design approaches rather than immediate code generation.
