It prevents wasted engineering effort by forcing early alignment on intent, requirements, constraints, and success criteria before any implementation starts.
docs/plans/YYYY-MM-DD-<topic>-design.md, then transition by invoking the writing-plans skill only after approval.Ask the brainstorming skill to analyze your current project context, ask clarifying questions one at a time, propose 2–3 approaches, and present a design for approval before any implementation begins.

To turn ideas into an approved design, you must discover requirements, constraints, and success criteria through staged clarification. The process proposes 2-3 approaches, presents a structured design for user approval via validation gates, and saves documentation to docs/plans before implementation begins.
Documenting product specs works best by saving validated designs into docs/plans using a YYYY-MM-DD-<topic>-design.md filename. This captures repository context, requirements, trade-offs, and success criteria discovered during collaborative planning before implementation starts.
Ensuring team alignment on requirements requires asking one clarifying question at a time to collect user-specific constraints and goals. Presenting 2-3 design approaches with explicit trade-offs creates a validation gate where stakeholders must approve before proceeding.
Yes, collaborative planning applies to feature development, component creation, and behavior changes. It grounds decisions by reviewing current repository state including files, docs, and recent commits to validate requirements and constraints before implementation.
After design is approved in the brainstorming process, the validated design is saved into a dated markdown file in docs/plans. The only next action is delegating to the writing-plans step to transition into downstream planning.
