What is the 'Understanding Lock' feature?

The Understanding Lock is a mandatory hard gate where the AI provides a summary of goals and assumptions that you must explicitly confirm before it proceeds to design options.

What is the output of a brainstorming session?

The final output is a durable Markdown document containing the understanding summary, explicit assumptions, a decision log of all choices made, and the final technical design.

How does this skill handle non-functional requirements?

It proactively asks about performance, scale, security, and reliability. If these are unknown, it proposes sensible defaults marked as assumptions for your review.

Does this skill write implementation code?

No. This skill is strictly for the design and brainstorming phase. It intentionally prevents implementation to ensure the architectural plan is solid and validated first.

Productivity & Workflow

Facilitates structured design thinking and technical specifications through disciplined dialogue before any implementation begins.

This skill transforms vague ideas into validated technical designs by acting as a senior reviewer and design facilitator. It enforces a 'slow down to get it right' philosophy, preventing premature implementation and misaligned solutions through a step-by-step reasoning process. By focusing on shared clarity, identifying non-functional requirements, and establishing an 'Understanding Lock,' it ensures that architecture, data flow, and edge cases are fully vetted. The skill concludes by producing a durable decision log and comprehensive documentation to guide the subsequent coding phase.
