What problem does it solve?
Guides AI through collaborative requirements discovery before implementation, ensuring a task directory and PRD are created, seeds thinking, and enables iterative refinement through questions, research, and MVP scoping.
Core Features & Use Cases
- Task-first: capture ideas immediately and ensure a task exists at the start.
- Action-before-asking: derive answers from repo code, docs, configs, conventions, or quick research before asking questions.
- Research-first for technical choices: perform research first to present concrete options and trade-offs.
- Diverge → Converge: proactively consider future evolution, related scenarios, and failure/edge cases, then converge to an MVP.
Triggered from /trellis:start when the user describes a development task, especially when requirements are unclear or there are multiple viable paths.
Quick Start
Create a brainstorm task for a new feature and seed a PRD with initial goals, questions, and acceptance criteria.
