One thing to look at
- no licenseNo license file was found in the repository. Code published without one is not open source by default, so using it at work is a question for whoever answers licensing questions where you are.

Brainstorming Ideas Into Designs
Use this before any creative work - creating features, building components, adding functionality, or modifying behavior.
Overview
Turn ideas into fully formed designs through collaborative dialogue. Understand before implementing.
The Process
Understanding the idea:
- Check out current project state first (files, docs, recent changes)
- Ask questions one at a time to refine the idea
- Prefer multiple choice questions when possible
- Only one question per message - break complex topics into multiple questions
- Focus on: purpose, constraints, success criteria
Exploring approaches:
- Propose 2-3 different approaches with trade-offs
- Lead with your recommended option and explain why
- Present options conversationally
Presenting the design:
- Once you understand what you're building, present the design
- Break into sections of 200-300 words
- Ask after each section whether it looks right
- Cover: architecture, components, data flow, error handling, testing
- Be ready to go back and clarify if something doesn't make sense
After the Design
Documentation:
- Write the validated design to a planning document
- Commit the design before starting implementation
Implementation:
- Ask: "Ready to set up for implementation?"
- Use
writing-plans.mdskill to create detailed implementation plan
Key Principles
- One question at a time - Don't overwhelm with multiple questions
- Multiple choice preferred - Easier to answer when possible
- YAGNI ruthlessly - Remove unnecessary features from designs
- Explore alternatives - Always propose 2-3 approaches before settling
- Incremental validation - Present design in sections, validate each
- Be flexible - Go back and clarify when something doesn't make sense
When to Use
Use this skill when the task directly matches the workflow described above.
When Not to Use
Do not use this skill when the request is unrelated, low-stakes, or better handled by a simpler direct response.
