FAQPage Schema
How do I brainstorm project ideas while preserving repository context?

Brainstorm with full project context by loading repository files like .director/VISION.md and .director/STATE.md. This keeps ideation aligned with your established vision and state without losing track of existing research.

What is context-aware ideation and when do I need it?

Context-aware ideation surfaces concepts using your project's existing vision and state files. You need it during early exploration across Blueprint, Build, or Inspect stages when you want free idea generation without committing to rigid plans.

How do I start a guided brainstorming session for early project exploration?

Start a guided brainstorming session by providing your topic. The session uses one-question-at-a-time dialogue with paced 200-300 word exchanges and built-in check-ins to maintain focus and momentum throughout ideation.

Does this brainstorming approach work without .director files or prior research?

Yes, the brainstorming session works when repository context is available but does not strictly require it. It uses .director/VISION.md and related research when present to enhance ideation, applying safely even without those files.

What's the best way to explore non-blocking ideas during a project's Build stage?

The best way is using paced, one-question-at-a-time dialogue with periodic check-ins. This non-blocking approach surfaces ideas safely during the Build stage while maintaining evolving project context and momentum.

Can I use this for ideation if I don't want to commit to a plan yet?

Yes, this is designed specifically for surfacing concepts without committing to plans. It enables free exploration during early ideation across Blueprint, Build, and Inspect stages while preserving your full project vision.
