# Brainstorming Ideas Into Designs ## Overview Transform rough ideas into fully-formed designs using either: - **Simple Mode** (default): Interactive Socratic questioning for straightforward features - **Deep Mode** (--deep flag): Parallel multi-agent analysis for complex architectural decisions **Core principle:** Ask questions to understand, explore alternatives, present design incrementally for validation. **Announce skill usage and mode at start of session.** ## Context Detection Before starting, detect project context to adapt brainstorming: ### Project Tier Detection Scan the working directory to classify the change scope: - **FOCUSED**: 1-5 files, <500 LOC — direct implementation, no new abstractions - **MODERATE**: 5-15 files, 500-2000 LOC — one new module OK, follow existing patterns - **SIGNIFICANT**: 15+ files, 2000+ LOC — new patterns justified, propose incrementally Display detected tier briefly at session start. See `${CLAUDE_SKILL_DIR}/references/tier-detection.md` for detection heuristics. ### Tech Stack Detection Scan the working directory to detect the project's tech stack: - `package.json` / `tsconfig.json` → Frontend framework (React, Vue, Angular, etc.) - `requirements.txt` / `pyproject.toml` → Backend framework (FastAPI, Django, Flask, etc.) - `Dockerfile` / `docker-compose.yml` → Infrastructure patterns - Migration files (Alembic, Prisma, etc.) → Database type - CI configs (`.gitlab-ci.yml`, `.github/workflows/`) → Deployment patterns Substitu
