Brainstorming

Structured idea exploration from vague to direction, in two paths — greenfield from a blank problem space, relentless against existing thinking. Both run breadth-first: surface the non-obvious option before committing, then converge honestly, naming what each direction gives up. Problem before solution — a description of what to build is a hypothesis, not a direction.

Workflow

trigger → detect path → discover → diverge → converge → capture
              ^________________________________|  (if no viable direction)

Detect path from entry state — greenfield when no concrete idea is present, relentless when an idea or plan exists regardless of maturity. Discover maps the problem space. Diverge generates alternatives. Converge evaluates trade-offs and picks a direction. Capture produces the artifact.
