Brainstorm - Design-First Ideation

When to use

• Exploring a new feature idea before planning
• Understanding user intent and constraints before committing to an approach
• Comparing multiple design approaches with trade-offs
• When the user says "I have an idea" or "let's design something"
• Before invoking /plan for complex or ambiguous requests

When NOT to use

• Requirements are already clear and well-defined -> use pm-agent directly
• Implementing actual code -> delegate to specialized agents
• Performing code reviews -> use QA Agent
• Debugging existing issues -> use debug-agent

Core Rules

1. No implementation or planning before design approval - brainstorm produces a design document, not code or task plans
2. One question at a time - ask clarifying questions sequentially, not in batches
3. Always propose 2-3 approaches - include a recommended option with trade-off analysis
