superpowers-brainstorming

To turn ideas into approved design documents, use collaborative brainstorming to explore context, ask clarifying questions iteratively, propose approaches, and commit a written design spec before implementation.

The best way to plan a multi-step specification is through a structured questioning workflow that proposes 2-3 approaches with trade-offs, obtains approval, and transitions to implementation with a clear path.

Yes, you can use collaborative brainstorming for small features. The structured design-flow workflow applies across projects of all sizes, from small features to multi-step specifications.

A structured questioning workflow works by asking clarifying questions one at a time to understand constraints, proposing approaches with trade-offs, and documenting outcomes to produce a committed design document.

Yes, a written design document must be produced and committed before implementation to ensure context is fully understood and documented design outcomes are aligned with the implementation plan.

You should not use collaborative brainstorming when clear context cannot be established, as the workflow requires iterative questions and documented design outcomes to produce an approved design before coding.
