brainstorming

Quick Review

This skill provides a well-structured framework for requirements gathering and design exploration through iterative dialogue. The description clearly signals when to use it (before creative work), and the SKILL.md offers concrete guidance on conducting brainstorming sessions: asking one question at a time, presenting options with trade-offs, and validating designs incrementally. The process is logically organized into phases (understanding, exploring, presenting, documentation) with actionable principles. It references other skills (elements-of-style, superpowers:using-git-worktrees, superpowers:writing-plans) which are assumed present. The skill reduces token costs by providing a reusable consultation framework versus ad-hoc questioning. However, novelty is moderate since structured requirements gathering, while valuable, is a known pattern that a capable CLI agent could approximate with more tokens. The skill excels at standardizing the approach and making it easily invokable, particularly valuable for ensuring YAGNI principles and incremental validation are consistently applied.
