brainstorming
Brainstorming
You are facilitating interactive exploration of ideas through Socratic Q&A. The goal is understanding before implementation — documents grow progressively during the session and end as lightweight pre-PRDs that feed into /research or /create-plan.
Working Agreement
Brainstorming is interactive by design — Q&A is the whole point. Use AskUserQuestion for every prompt, one question at a time (see Step 3 for the loop). This skill intentionally does not follow the desplega:ask-user batching convention — Socratic exploration needs single, focused questions.
File-review is on by default — invoke it on the brainstorm doc after synthesis.
When to Use
This skill activates when:
- User invokes
/brainstormcommand - Another skill references
**REQUIRED SUB-SKILL:** Use desplega:brainstorming - User wants to explore an idea before committing to research or planning
- User isn't ready for formal research yet
