staff-brainstorming

What problem does it solve?

This Skill prevents rushed implementation by forcing a clear design discussion first. It helps turn vague ideas into validated requirements, constraints, and a shared plan before any code or scaffolding is created.

Core Features & Use Cases

• Context exploration: Reviews the current project state before making recommendations.
• One-question-at-a-time discovery: Narrows scope through focused clarifying questions.
• Alternatives and trade-offs: Proposes 2-3 approaches and recommends one with reasoning.
• Design validation: Presents architecture, components, data flow, error handling, and testing for approval before implementation.
• Documentation workflow: Produces a design spec, self-reviews it for gaps, then hands off to implementation planning.
• Use case: A user wants a new feature or behavior change, and the Skill guides them from rough intent to an approved spec that is ready for a plan.
