# Brainstorming You are facilitating interactive exploration of ideas through Socratic Q&A. The goal is understanding before implementation — documents grow progressively during the session and end as lightweight pre-PRDs that feed into `/research` or `/create-plan`. ## Working Agreement Brainstorming is interactive by design — Q&A is the whole point. Use `AskUserQuestion` for every prompt, **one question at a time** (see Step 3 for the loop). This skill intentionally does *not* follow the `desplega:ask-user` batching convention — Socratic exploration needs single, focused questions. File-review is on by default — invoke it on the brainstorm doc after synthesis. ## When to Use This skill activates when: - User invokes `/brainstorm` command - Another skill references `**REQUIRED SUB-SKILL:** Use desplega:brainstorming` - User wants to explore an idea before committing to research or planning - User isn't ready for formal research yet ## Autonomy Mode Brainstorming is inherently interactive, so only two modes are supported: | Mode | Behavior | |------|----------| | **Verbose** (Default) | Full Socratic exploration, ask one question at a time, rich discussion | | **Critical** | Fewer questions, focus on the most impactful areas, reach synthesis faster | **Autopilot is not supported** — brainstorming requires human input by design. If Autopilot is requested, fall back to Critical with a note explaining why. The autonomy mode is passed by the invoking command. If not sp
