What this skill does
Brainstorming Ideas Into Designs Overview Help turn ideas into fully formed designs and specs through natural collaborative dialogue. Start by understanding the current project context, then ask questions one at a time to refine the idea.

This applies to EVERY project regardless of perceived simplicity. </HARD-GATE> Anti-Pattern: "This Is Too Simple To Need A Design" Every project goes through this process.

The design can be short (a few sentences for truly simple projects), but you MUST present it and get approval. Checklist You MUST create a task for each of these items and complete them in order: 1. Explore project context — check files, docs, recent commits 2. Ask clarifying questions — one at a time, understand purpose/constraints/success criteria 3. Propose 2-3 approaches — with trade-offs and your recommendation 4. Present design — in sections scaled to their complexity, get user approval after each section 5. Write design doc — save to docs/plans/YYYY-MM-DD-<topic>-design.md and commit 6. Transition to implementation — invoke writing-plans skill to create implementation plan Process Flow The terminal state is invoking writing-plans. Do NOT invoke frontend-design, mcp-builder, or any other implementation skill. The ONLY skill you invoke after brainstorming is writing-plans. …
