Automatically invoked from brainstorm - DO NOT SKIP

When To Use

• Starting a new project without clear requirements
• Exploring problem space before specification
• Need to compare multiple approaches systematically
• Validating project feasibility and scope
• Documenting decision rationale for stakeholders
• Need to clarify the core problem being solved

When NOT To Use

• Requirements and specification already exist (use Skill(attune:project-planning) instead)
• Refining existing specs (use Skill(attune:project-specification) instead)
• Project scope is well-defined (jump to /attune:project-init)
• Mid-project pivots (use Skill(attune:war-room) for strategic decisions)

Integration

With superpowers:

• Delegates to Skill(superpowers:brainstorming) for Socratic method
• Augments with project-specific patterns
• Uses project brainstorm templates

Without superpowers:

• Standalone questioning framework
• Project-focused ideation patterns
• Structured output templates

War Room Integration (REQUIRED):

• After Phase 3 (Approach Generation), automatically invokes Skill(attune:war-room)
• All brainstorming context passed to War Room for expert deliberation
• War Room provides multi-LLM pressure testing and synthesis
• Only bypassed for Type 2 decisions (RS ≤ 0.40) with explicit user confirmation

Brainstorming Framework

Phase 1: Problem Definition

Socratic Questions:

1. What problem are you solving?
