Activation
This is the description your AI agent reads to decide when to run this skill — the better it matches your request, the more reliably it fires.
You MUST use this before any creative work - creating features, building components, adding functionality, or modifying behavior. Explores user intent, requirements and design before implementation.Key capabilities
- →Refine requirements
- →Explore design trade-offs
- →Document architectural plans
- →Validate designs incrementally
How it works
Facilitates dialogue to understand intent, proposes alternatives, and validates design sections incrementally.
Inputs & outputs
When to use obra-brainstorming
- →Refine new feature requirements
- →Explore design trade-offs
- →Document architectural plans
- →Brainstorm implementation strategy
About obra-brainstorming
Facilitates dialogue to understand user intent, explores alternative approaches, and documents validated designs.
You MUST use this before any creative work - creating features, building components, adding functionality, or modifying behavior. Explores user intent, requirements and design before implementation.
When not to use it
- →Implementation without design validation
Limitations
- →Requires user collaboration
- →Incremental validation takes time
How it compares
Forces collaborative design exploration before any code is written.

thought-patterns
markpitt
Orchestrates comprehensive cognitive thinking patterns including sequential, systems, lateral, divergent/convergent, abductive, analogical, first-principles, double-loop learning, gestalt, metacognitive, and neurodivergent patterns (ADHD hyperfocus, autistic detail-orientation, dyslexic spatial reasoning). Analyzes tasks to select optimal pattern(s), chains multiple patterns when needed, and validates outputs before responding. Use for complex problem-solving, creative tasks, analytical challenges, or when diverse cognitive approaches enhance solution quality.
gathering-requirements
CaptainCrouton89
Systematically clarify user needs, preferences, and constraints before planning or implementation. Classifies work type, investigates existing systems, discovers edge cases and integration points, resolves assumptions, and creates detailed specifications. Use when building features, enhancements, or integrations where requirements need clarification.
the-fool
Jeffallan
Use when challenging ideas, plans, decisions, or proposals using structured critical reasoning. Invoke to play devil's advocate, run a pre-mortem, red team, or audit evidence and assumptions.
