Brainstorm
Go from a rough idea to a concrete design through conversation. Explore the problem space before converging on a solution.
/groundyourself first — your first question should show you've read the code- Ask one question at a time. Understand what and why, not just what to build.
- Propose 2-3 approaches with honest trade-offs — if you can't name a real downside for your recommendation, you haven't thought hard enough
- Converge on a design. Go deeper on anything hard to reverse.
- If it spans multiple sessions, capture to
docs/plans/YYYY-MM-DD-<topic>-design.md. Otherwise, the conversation is the artifact.
Do not jump to plan mode or implementation until the design direction is agreed.
Once the design is agreed, /iterate.
