Brainstorming Skill
A Claude Code skill for turning ideas into fully formed designs and specs through natural collaborative dialogue.
**Use before any creative work** — creating features, building components, adding functionality, or modifying behavior. This skill explores user intent, requirements, and design before implementation.
What it does
- Walks from raw idea to approved design spec via one-question-at-a-time dialogue
- Presents 2-3 approaches with tradeoffs before settling on one
- Writes a design doc (
docs/superpowers/specs/YYYY-MM-DD--design.md) - Self-reviews the spec for placeholders, contradictions, ambiguity, and scope
- Hands off to
writing-plansfor implementation planning

For visual questions (mockups, layouts, diagrams), the skill offers a local browser-based companion. Run:
bash scripts/start-server.shIt watches a directory for HTML files and serves the newest one. Claude writes mockups, you click to pick options, selections are logged back.
