Use when creating or developing, before writing code or implementation plans - refines rough ideas into fully-formed designs through collaborative questioning, alternative exploration, and incremental validation. Don't use during clear 'mechanical' processes

Overview

# Brainstorming Ideas Into Designs

Overview

Help turn ideas into fully formed designs and specs through natural collaborative dialogue.

Start by understanding the current project context, then ask questions one at a time to refine the idea. Once you understand what you're building, present the design in small sections (200-300 words), checking after each section whether it looks right so far.

The Process

Understanding the idea:

Check out the current project state first (files, docs, recent commits)
Ask questions one at a time to refine the idea
Prefer multiple choice questions when possible, but open-ended is fine too
Only one question per message - if a topic needs more exploration, break it into multiple questions
Focus on understanding: purpose, constraints, success criteria

Exploring approaches:

Propose 2-3 different approaches with trade-offs
Present options conversationally with your recommendation and reasoning
Lead with your recommended option and explain why

Presenting the design:

Once you believe you understand what you're building, present the design
Break it into sections of 200-300 words
Ask after each section whether it looks right so far
Cover: architecture, components, data flow, error handling, testing
Be ready to go back and clarify if something doesn't make sense

After the Design

Documentation:

Write the validated design to docs/plans/YYYY-MM-DD--design.md
Use elements-of-style:writing-clearly-and-concisely skill if available
Commit the design document to git

Implementation (if continuing):

Ask: "Ready to set up for implementation?"
Use superpowers:using-git-worktrees to create isolated workspace
Use superpowers:writing-plans to create detailed implementation plan

Key Principles

One question at a time - Don't overwhelm with multiple questions
Multiple choice preferred - Easier to answer than open-ended when possible
YAGNI ruthlessly - Remove unnecessary features from all designs
Explore alternatives - Always propose 2-3 approaches before settling
Incremental validation - Present design in sections, validate each
Be flexible - Go back and clarify when something doesn't make sense
