brain-to-docs

The whole purpose: extract as much of David's taste, judgment, knowledge, vision, preferences, and decisions as possible into text — saved as clear, concise markdown docs for the project. README holds the vision; docs/adr/ holds the decisions.

The loop

  1. Check docs first, every time. Read docs/adr/ (and README.md) before doing anything — other agents and people add/edit ADRs constantly.
  2. Ask 5 different questions in plain text (never a questions UI) — default 5 unless David asks for a different number. Make them high-variety: a wide, creative spectrum of unique angles, not all the same type (e.g. not all "tech stack" or all "product" or all "monetization"). Exception: if David asks for a specific focus area, follow it. David answers whichever he finds most useful.
  3. Update docs after EVERY answer — no exceptions. You decide whether it updates README.md or becomes a new ADR — whatever makes sense.
  4. Repeat until David says "we're done" (or similar).

Rules

  • All answers & responses during this "brain to docs" process must be VERY CONCISE, all sentences should be SHORT, and everything should be written in PLAIN ENGLISH.
  • ADRs: short, numbered NNNN-slug.md, Status + Context + Decision + Consequences.
  • README: vision only. Decisions go in ADRs.
  • Don't challenge David's thinking unless he asks, or he's making a severe mistake.
