Where are the design decisions stored?

Once a design is validated, the skill writes it to a Markdown file in your repository's docs/plans/ directory and commits it to Git for tracking.

How does the skill handle complex architectural choices?

It presents multiple distinct approaches with their specific pros and cons, makes a single clear recommendation, and then waits for your feedback before proceeding.

When should I use the brainstorming skill?

Use it when you have a rough idea but the implementation path is unclear, multiple technical approaches exist, or requirements are fuzzy and need validation before coding.

Can I use this for simple bug fixes?

It is generally overkill for simple fixes. This skill is optimized for tasks where design decisions need exploration or requirements are incomplete.

Does this skill write code automatically?

No, it focuses on the planning and design phase. It helps you finalize a design and implementation plan before you move to the coding stage.

Productivity & Workflow

Facilitates collaborative software design and architectural planning through iterative dialogue and tradeoff analysis.

The Brainstorming skill transforms vague project ideas into structured architectural designs through a guided, natural dialogue. It helps developers explore multiple technical approaches, weigh tradeoffs between different implementation patterns, and validate design decisions incrementally. By ensuring requirements are fully understood and documented before coding begins, it prevents architectural debt and ensures that the final implementation aligns with project goals and constraints.
