How does it handle non-functional requirements?

The skill prompts for or proposes defaults for performance, scale, security, and maintenance needs to ensure the design is production-ready.

Does this skill allow for immediate coding?

No, the Brainstorming skill explicitly blocks implementation and code modification to ensure that design and specifications are fully validated first.

What is the 'Understanding Lock' phase?

It is a mandatory gate where the AI provides a summary of goals and assumptions; you must confirm this summary is accurate before any design approaches are proposed.

What documentation does it produce?

It generates a durable Markdown document containing the understanding summary, all assumptions, a decision log, and the final architectural design.

Productivity & Workflow

Facilitates structured, disciplined design reasoning to transform vague ideas into validated technical specifications before coding begins.

The Brainstorming skill acts as a senior design facilitator and reviewer, preventing premature implementation and technical debt. It enforces a rigorous multi-step process—from initial context review and incremental questioning to the identification of non-functional requirements and explicit 'Understanding Locks.' By prioritizing shared clarity over speed and adhering to the YAGNI principle, it ensures that developers explore trade-offs and document decisions thoroughly, creating a robust blueprint before a single line of code is written.
