# Roadmap & backlog — brainstorm-with-docs

Single source of truth for what's done, pending, and deferred. In-repo and
versioned so it survives across sessions and tools (not just an agent's memory).

## Status

- **v1 — shipped.** Commits `50640d8` (initial) and `f24b342` (review fixes).
  Working hybrid: context inspection, glossary/`CONTEXT.md` + lightweight ADR
  discipline, active grilling, option comparison, durable artifacts, and a
  stop-before-implementation gate that allows investigation but forbids state
  changes.
- **Next process step:** live test on real tasks (started ~2026-06-03). Findings
  feed the decisions below.

## Pending decisions (small, near-term)

- **R1 — restore "recommend an answer per question."** `grill-with-docs` and
  `grill-me` both require giving a recommended answer with each question; v1
  dropped it (likely accidental). Cheap to restore in `SKILL.md` step 4.
  *Decision pending: restore now, or after the first live test.*
- **R2 — interview relentlessness.** v1 softened grill's "interview relentlessly,
  walk every branch" into "don't interview forever, move to synthesis" (from
  superpowers brainstorming). Decide after the live test whether it feels
  under-rigorous and needs hardening — or whether that's what `grill-with-docs`
  stays for (see R4).
- **F1 — divergence one-liner.** Add one `<core_rule>`: "among the options, at
  least one must be something the user did not already imply." Deliberately
  deferred to keep the v1 baseline test clean. Marked as `TODO(F1)` at the SEAM
  in `SKILL.md` step 5. Reconsider right after the first live test.
- **F4 — relationship to `grill-with-docs`.** This skill overlaps it (grill +
  CONTEXT/ADR). Decide: document when-to-use-which in `README.md`, or supersede
  `grill-with-docs`. Not a strict superset (we lack full multi-context, R2).
- **F5a — read `docs/agents/*.md` in step 1.** On repos using Matt Pocock's
  skill-config convention, the spec/layout path is more reliable from there than
  guessing. Cheap addition to the step-1 read list.

## v2 (larger)

- **Divergence phase** at the SEAM (`SKILL.md` step 5): full idea-generation
  toolkit — axis of variation, archetype stances (MVP / robust / radical),
  inversion, steal-from-adjacent-domain, cost-shifting, pre-mortem, constraint
  relaxation, null option. F1 is the cheap precursor to this.
- **"Design for isolation / clarity" lens** (from superpowers brainstorming):
  evaluate options by whether each unit has one clear purpose and a clean
  interface.
- **Fuller multi-context.** v1 handles a single root `CONTEXT.md` and only
  mentions `CONTEXT-MAP.md`. Restore grill-with-docs's full model: `CONTEXT-MAP.md`
  + per-context `CONTEXT.md` + per-context `docs/adr/` + a Relationships section.

## Rejected (do not revisit without new evidence)

- **F6 — "space-separated `allowed-tools` won't parse."** False. Claude Code docs
  accept space- or comma-separated or YAML list; and `allowed-tools` is
  pre-approval, not a restriction. No change needed.
