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.
