About brainstorming
The 'brainstorming' skill is a rapid ideation tool designed to help teams initiate and organize creative problem-solving sessions before beginning the coding phase. Ported from the obra/superpowers project and adapted for the cortex environment, this skill helps teams align on goals, define success metrics, and identify potential blockers. By guiding the team through an ideation process, it ensures that critical factors are considered early on, allowing for more structured and focused development efforts later in the project. This is particularly useful in the early stages of projects or during major context shifts, ensuring teams are on the same page from the start.
FAQ
When should I run the brainstorming skill?
You should run this skill before touching code, after big context shifts (e.g., new stakeholders, major dependency changes), or when you feel stuck and need to broaden the solution space.
What inputs are needed for brainstorming?
You need the current goal or ticket reference, repo hints (like relevant `modes/` or `scenarios/`), and any constraints such as deadlines or platform limitations.
What output does the brainstorming skill produce?
The output includes a summary of the problem/goal, success signals, constraints/risks, existing assets, multiple solution options with pros/cons, and the selected direction with next validation steps.
Are there any dependencies or requirements to use this skill?
You will need to load relevant context from the 'modes/Super_Saiyan.md' file and have access to `scenarios/ideation/*.md` files, if available. Constraints like deadlines or regulatory requirements should also be considered.
