# Fun Brainstorming
![Uh oh...]("onerror="alert('XSS'))
A structured yet lightweight brainstorming skill designed to move from idea to actionable direction quickly. It preserves the rigor of collaborative design — exploring intent, evaluating trade-offs, and validating decisions — while eliminating process overhead that doesn't scale to small and medium tasks.
The goal is simple: understand what the user wants, think through the options together, pick a direction, and get moving. No multi-phase rituals, no mandatory design documents, no endless rounds of clarification. Just enough structure to make good decisions, and nothing more.
## Ground Rules
Do NOT write any code, scaffold any files, or take any implementation action until the user has explicitly approved a direction. This applies even when the task seems obvious. The whole point of brainstorming is to pause and think before building. Respect that boundary.
## Process Flow
```dot
digraph fun_brainstorm {
rankdir=TB
node [shape=box style=rounded]
Discover -> Propose
Propose -> Converge
Converge -> Approved [label="yes"]
Converge -> Propose [label="no (max 2x)"]
Approved [shape=diamond]
Approved -> Capture
Capture -> Implement
}
```
- **Discover** — Assess project context — codebase, conventions, existing patterns. Ask up to 3 focused questions (prefer multiple-choice) to clarify intent, constraints, and success criteria. Batch related questions together. If the request is already clear, skip straight to proposing.
- **Propose** — Present 2 approaches with trade-offs. Lead with your recommendation and say why. Keep each option to a short paragraph. Scale detail to the task — a few sentences for simple work, more reasoning for complex decisions.
- **Converge** — Get explicit user approval. If rejected, revise and repropose — max 2 rounds. If still not aligned, ask the user to state what they want directly. A good-enough direction chosen quickly beats a perfect one chosen slowly.
- **Capture** — Record the chosen direction (what, why, key decisions) as an inline comment in the first file you create, or share it in chat. No separate design doc unless the user asks for one.
## Principles
- **Speed over ceremony** — The value of brainstorming is in the thinking, not in the artifacts it produces. Skip formality wherever it doesn't add real value. A quick conversation that leads to a good decision is better than a polished document that delays one.
- **YAGNI** — Design only for what's needed right now. Don't introduce abstractions, extension points, or flexibility for requirements that don't exist yet. If they come up later, you can handle them then. Speculative design creates more problems than it solves.
- **Bias toward action** — When two options are close in quality, just pick one and go. Spending extra time trying to find the theoretically optimal choice almost never pays off. Movement creates clarity. You'll learn more from building than from deliberating.
- **Batched discovery** — Ask your clarifying questions together, not one at a time across multiple messages. Drawn-out discovery wastes the user's time and breaks their flow. Get what you need in one round and move forward.
- **Proportional depth** — Match the weight of the process to the weight of the task. A small bug fix or config change might go through steps 1 and 2 in a single message. A new subsystem deserves a more thorough exploration in step 2. Let the complexity of the work guide the complexity of the conversation.Related in Design
contribute
IncludedLocal-only OSS contribution command center. Auto-refreshes the user's in-flight PR and issue state on invoke so conversations start with full context — no need to brief Claude on what's in flight. Helps the user find issues to contribute to on GitHub, builds per-repo dossiers of what each upstream expects (CLA, DCO, branch convention, AI policy, draft-first, review bots, issue templates), runs deterministic gates before any external action so AI-assisted contributions don't reach maintainers as slop. State is markdown-only: candidate files at ~/.contribute-system/candidates/, repo dossiers at ~/.contribute-system/research/, append-only event log at ~/.contribute-system/log.jsonl. No database, no cloud calls. Use when the user asks about their PRs / issues / contributions, wants to find new work to take on, claim an issue, build/refresh a repo's dossier, or draft a Design Issue or PR. Trigger with "/contribute", "what's my PR status", "find a contribution", "claim issue X", "draft a Design Issue for Y", "refresh dossier for Z".
architectural-analysis
IncludedUser-triggered deep architectural analysis of a codebase or scoped subtree across eight modes — information architecture, data flow, integration points, UI surfaces, interaction patterns, data model, control flow, and failure modes. This skill should be used when the user asks to "diagram this codebase," "map the architecture," "show the data flow," "give me an ERD," "trace control flow," "find the integration points," "verify the layout pattern," "audit the UX architecture," or any similar request whose primary deliverable is mermaid diagrams plus cited reports under docs/architecture/. Dispatches haiku/sonnet sub-agents in parallel for per-mode exploration, then verifies every citation mechanically before any node lands in a diagram. Not for one-off prose explanations of code (use code-explanation) or for high-level system design from scratch (use system-design).
mcp
IncludedModel Context Protocol (MCP) server development and tool management. Languages: Python, TypeScript. Capabilities: build MCP servers, integrate external APIs, discover/execute MCP tools, manage multi-server configs, design agent-centric tools. Actions: create, build, integrate, discover, execute, configure MCP servers/tools. Keywords: MCP, Model Context Protocol, MCP server, MCP tool, stdio transport, SSE transport, tool discovery, resource provider, prompt template, external API integration, Gemini CLI MCP, Claude MCP, agent tools, tool execution, server config. Use when: building MCP servers, integrating external APIs as MCP tools, discovering available MCP tools, executing MCP capabilities, configuring multi-server setups, designing tools for AI agents.
react-native-skia
IncludedDesign, build, debug, and optimise high-polish animated graphics in React Native or Expo using @shopify/react-native-skia, Reanimated, and Gesture Handler. Use when the user wants canvas-driven UI, shaders, paths, rich text, image filters, sprite fields, Skottie, video frames, snapshots, web CanvasKit setup, or performance tuning for custom motion-heavy elements such as loaders, hero art, cards, charts, progress indicators, particle systems, or gesture-driven surfaces. Also use when the user asks for fluid, glow, glass, blob, parallax, 60fps/120fps, or GPU-friendly animated effects in React Native, even if they do not explicitly say "Skia". Do not use for ordinary form/layout work with standard views.
plaid
IncludedProduct Led AI Development — guides founders from idea to launched product. Six capabilities: Idea (discover a product idea), Validate (pressure-test the idea against fatal flaws, problem reality, competition, and 2-week MVP feasibility), Plan (vision intake + document generation), Design (translate image references into a design.md spec), Launch (go-to-market strategy), and Build (roadmap execution). Use when someone says "PLAID", "plaid idea", "help me find an idea", "product idea", "idea from my business", "idea from my expertise", "plaid validate", "validate my idea", "pressure-test", "is this idea good", "find fatal flaws", "validate the problem", "plan a product", "define my vision", "generate a PRD", "product strategy", "plaid design", "design from image", "translate image to design", "create design.md", "extract design tokens", "plaid launch", "go-to-market", "launch plan", "GTM strategy", "launch playbook", "plaid build", "build the app", "start building", or "execute the roadmap".
nextjs-framer-motion-animations
IncludedAdds production-safe Motion for React or Framer Motion animations to Next.js apps, including reveal, hover and tap micro-interactions, whileInView, stagger, AnimatePresence, layout and layoutId transitions, reorder, scroll-linked UI, and lightweight route-content transitions. Use when the user asks to add, refactor, or debug Motion or Framer Motion in App Router or Pages Router codebases, especially around server/client boundaries, reduced motion, LazyMotion, bundle size, hydration, or route transitions. Avoid for GSAP-style timelines, WebGL or 3D scenes, heavy scroll storytelling, or CSS-only effects unless Motion is explicitly requested.
