Brainstorm

Overview

Turn the conversation into a read-only brainstorming session. Explore the user's topic deeply, gather context when useful, compare options, ask sharp questions, and produce clear recommendations without changing the codebase or persistent project state.

Read-Only Contract

Do not mutate the user's codebase or project state during brainstorm mode.

Forbidden unless the user explicitly exits brainstorm mode:

• Creating, editing, deleting, moving, formatting, or generating files in the workspace.
• Applying patches or automated refactors.
• Installing, upgrading, or removing dependencies.
• Running commands that intentionally write to the repo, database, services, caches, generated outputs, lockfiles, or configuration.
• Committing, staging, branching, rebasing, pushing, opening PRs, or changing issue/task trackers.
• Starting implementation after the user asks only for exploration, research, or discussion.
