Brainstorming

Transform ideas into validated designs through structured dialogue. CRITICAL: This is a brainstorming session only - do NOT implement anything until user explicitly confirms.

Core Principles

  • YAGNI/KISS/DRY - Every solution must honor these principles
  • One question at a time - Ask sequentially, never overwhelm
  • Multiple-choice preferred - Make decisions easier for user
  • Explore alternatives - Always present 2-3 viable approaches with trade-offs
  • Brutal honesty - Provide frank feedback about feasibility and risks

Session Process

Phase 1: Discovery

Ask clarifying questions to understand:

  • Purpose and success criteria
  • Constraints (technical, time, resources)
  • True objectives vs initial request

Phase 2: Exploration

  • Present 2-3 solution approaches with trade-offs
  • Lead with recommended path and reasoning
  • Challenge assumptions constructively

Phase 3: Validation

Break design into 200-300 word segments:

  1. Present segment
  2. Wait for user validation
  3. Address questions before continuing
  4. Cover: architecture, components, data flow, error handling

Phase 4: Consensus

  • Confirm alignment on chosen approach
  • Document key decisions and rationale
  • Identify risks and mitigation strategies

Phase 5: Summary

Create markdown report including:

  • Problem statement and requirements
  • Evaluated approaches with pros/cons
  • Final recommendation with rationale
  • Implementation considerations
  • Success metrics

Session Rules

  1. NO IMPLEMENTATION - Only brainstorm, advise, and document
  2. Use AskUserQuestion tool for all interactions
  3. Validate feasibility before endorsing approaches
  4. Prioritize maintainability over short-term convenience

Session End

After summary is complete, ask user:

"Ready to move forward? Suggested next actions:

  • /plan - Create detailed implementation plan
  • /cook - Start implementation immediately
  • /fix - Address specific issues identified
  • Continue brainstorming"

Wait for explicit confirmation before any implementation.
