Приземлён блок дивергенции из ROADMAP по итогам второго живого теста (wayfinder-карта #26 стенда): шаг 5 разделён на веер и конвергенцию, ширина веера — по весу решения, развилки решаются по месту в интервью. Триггер «развилка» в description; описание и правила подрезаны по ревью writing-great-skills. Свидетельства и доводы — в ROADMAP.md. Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 5 <noreply@anthropic.com>

# brainstorm-with-docs
|
|
|
|
A manually-invoked skill for **brainstorming, design alignment, and durable
|
|
documentation** — grounded in a project's existing docs and vocabulary. It takes
|
|
an unclear engineering, DevOps, architecture, migration, integration, research,
|
|
or documentation problem and drives it to shared understanding and a recommended
|
|
direction — recorded in the *smallest useful* durable artifact: a spec, ADR,
|
|
runbook, research note, or `CONTEXT.md` glossary update.
|
|
|
|
It is deliberately **not** an implementation skill. It reads project files and
|
|
proposes documentation, but stops before code, config, or infrastructure changes
|
|
— approval of a design direction is never approval to implement.
|
|
|
|
## Why this exists
|
|
|
|
It combines four things that are usually separate:
|
|
|
|
- **shared domain language** (glossary / `CONTEXT.md`) and **lightweight ADRs** —
|
|
the discipline of capturing terminology and durable decisions as they crystallise;
|
|
- **active grilling** — not just extracting requirements, but pressure-testing
|
|
them: challenging terms against the glossary, sharpening fuzzy language, probing
|
|
with edge-case scenarios, cross-checking claims against the code;
|
|
- **option exploration** — comparing 2-3 viable approaches within the user's
|
|
framing, plus at least one framing-challenger so the agent does not only
|
|
optimise inside the first shape of the problem;
|
|
- **durable output** — the understanding is the deliverable; it's recorded in the
|
|
smallest appropriate artifact: glossary entry, spec, ADR, runbook, research
|
|
note, or PRD.
|
|
|
|
The closest day-to-day comparison is `grill-me`: use `grill-me` when you mainly
|
|
want the agent to pull understanding out of you and align on a plan in the
|
|
conversation. Use `brainstorm-with-docs` when the discussion must be grounded in
|
|
the repository and leave behind project documentation. `grill-with-docs` is an
|
|
upstream influence for glossary and ADR discipline, but this skill is not trying
|
|
to follow that methodology wholesale.
|
|
|
|
## Usage
|
|
|
|
Invoke manually:
|
|
|
|
```
|
|
/brainstorm-with-docs <problem-or-topic>
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
On **Claude Code** the skill is manual-only (`disable-model-invocation: true`) —
|
|
it never auto-triggers; you always call it. On **Codex** that field is ignored
|
|
(Codex reads only `name` + `description`), so it may auto-trigger on matching
|
|
design tasks. The negative triggers in the description discourage that, but the
|
|
description's positive surface is broad (architecture / DevOps / research), so
|
|
expect it to fire more eagerly on Codex than on Claude. If that gets noisy,
|
|
narrow the description.
|
|
|
|
## Layout
|

|
└── context.md # CONTEXT.md glossary format
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
Templates are split per type so the agent loads only what's relevant
|
|
(progressive disclosure).
|
|
|
|
## Roadmap
|
|
|
|
- **v1:** working hybrid — context inspection, glossary/ADR discipline,
|
|
active grilling, option comparison with an additive framing-challenger, durable
|
|
artifacts, stop-before-implementation.
|
|
- **v2 divergence (current):** step 5 is a diverge-then-converge split — frame
|
|
restatement, mandatory frame-challenger and null option, fan width tiered by
|
|
decision weight, an idea-generation toolkit with WHEN-triggers, a diversity
|
|
self-check, and fork-in-place grilling during the interview (step 4).
|
|
- **Remaining:** a "design for isolation" lens and fuller multi-context support.
|
|
|
|
See [ROADMAP.md](ROADMAP.md) for the full backlog, pending decisions, and what
|
|
has been considered and rejected. `ROADMAP.md` is development memory and can be
|
|
removed once the skill stabilises.

## Attribution
|
|
|
|
This is a derived, original skill — not a copy of either source. It borrows ideas
|
|
from two MIT-licensed projects:
|
|
|
|
- **grill-with-docs / grill-me** by Matt Pocock —
|
|
<https://github.com/mattpocock/skills> (MIT, © 2026 Matt Pocock).
|
|
Source of the glossary/`CONTEXT.md` discipline, lightweight ADRs, and the
|
|
active grilling techniques. This skill deliberately diverges from
|
|
`grill-with-docs` where the user's workflow needs broader artifact creation and
|
|
option exploration.
|
|
- **brainstorming** by Jesse Vincent (obra), from Superpowers —
|
|
<https://github.com/obra/superpowers> (MIT, © 2025 Jesse Vincent).
|
|
Source of the explore-context → question → compare-options → present-design flow
|
|
and the stop-before-implementation gate.
|
|
|
|
The `CONTEXT.md` and ADR formats are adapted from Matt Pocock's `grill-with-docs`
|
|
companion files. Both upstream projects are MIT-licensed; see their repositories
