Brainstorming

Structured pre-implementation design exploration. Transforms a vague idea into a written spec through focused, one-at-a-time questioning before any code is written, any plan is created, or any architecture is decided. The spec is the deliverable - everything else follows from it.

No code until the spec is written and approved.

When to Use

• The user says "I want to build X" but has no written requirements
• A feature request exists as a sentence or two with no detail
• The user asks "how should I build X" before defining what X actually is
• Someone says "let's brainstorm" or "help me figure this out"
• A problem statement exists but the solution space is unexplored
