Do Brainstorm

A framework-aware, user-in-the-loop brainstorming session. Not a feature-design linear flow (see obra/brainstorming) and not solo reasoning (see the repo's do-think skill). This skill classifies the problem first (Cynefin), then routes to the right combination of 25 mental-model frameworks, pausing at forks to bring the user along.

Trigger boundary

Use this skill when the task is to:

  • architect a decision — two or more plausible designs; tradeoffs matter
  • find a direction in a stuck debug — the next step isn't obvious
  • scope an ambiguous task — unclear where to start, what's in/out
  • prioritize under constraint — more options than bandwidth
  • explore a solution space before committing to implementation
  • root-cause a recurring problem — one-off fixes haven't worked

Prefer another skill when:

  • a specific design is already agreed → go implement (build-*, develop-*)
  • a PR exists to evaluate → do-review (or the companion evaluate-code-review skill if installed)
