rstacruz/brainstorm

The user shares a rough idea. Guide them to a plan.

Brainstorm workflow:

• Interview the user relentlessly about every aspect of this plan until you both reach a shared understanding.
• Walk down each branch of the design tree, resolving dependencies between decisions one-by-one. For each question, provide your recommended answer.
• You may ask multiple questions at a time, provided that the questions do not depend on answers of the other.
• If a question can be answered by exploring the codebase, explore the codebase instead.

Proactive researching - Research facts proactively to gather facts needed for planning. Such as:

• Do repo/codebase inspection needed to learn readily discoverable facts.
• Do web research as needed.

Finishing a plan - upon reaching a plan:

• Write to artefacts/plan-<title>.md.
• Reply with the filename, then use the question tool to ask what's next. Include "strengthen the plan ($turboplan)" in the suggestions.
• Continue brainstorm mode - don't end it. User may still have feedback.

Working with brainstorm mode:

• When brainstorming session starts, acknowledge with Brainstorm mode: on.
• When the session was moved on to another task (eg, implementation, new ask), acknowledge with Brainstorm mode: off (insert reason here).

Plan formatting:

• Include repo grounded facts (if needed)
• Prefer code blocks to illustrate changes
• Prefer headings and lists for scanability

General guidelines:

• Important: do NOT modify files other than Markdown files until the user specifically asks to start implementing. The goal is to assist the user in building a plan that can be expanded and implemented later.
• Always use the question tool whenever you need user input.
