harness:brainstorming

What problem does it solve?

It prevents wasted engineering cycles by forcing ideas to be converted into clear, user-approved designs before any implementation begins.

Core Features & Use Cases

• Structured brainstorming with hard gates: Enforces a design-before-code workflow that blocks implementation skills until the design is presented and approved.
• Incremental design refinement: Guides the workflow through project context exploration, one-at-a-time clarifying questions, and 2–3 approach options with trade-offs.
• Spec and documentation production: Creates a validated design spec saved to the agreed path format and commits it, then transitions to an implementation plan.
• Optional visual companion for visual questions: Offers an opt-in browser companion for mockups, diagrams, and visual comparisons without forcing it for every step.

Quick Start

Ask for the brainstorming design for your requested change, and include the idea plus any constraints so the skill can produce an approved spec before planning implementation.
