Full skill instructions

/​ctx:brainstorm

Ported from obra/​superpowers (MIT). Optimized for claude-ctx so brainstorming outputs flow directly into Supersaiyan visuals and the Task TUI.

When to run

  • Before touching code: align on problem, success signals, blockers.
  • After big context shifts: new stakeholder, major dependency change, fresh repo checkout.
  • When you feel stuck: broaden solution space before diving back in.

Inputs you need

  • Current goal or ticket reference.
  • Repo hints: relevant modes/ (e.g., modes/​Super_Saiyan.md) and scenarios/ if they exist.
  • Constraints (deadline, platforms, regulatory, etc.).

Steps

  1. Set the stage
    • Load modes/​Super_Saiyan.md (CTRL+P → "Super Saiyan Mode") for visual/​tone context.
    • Skim any scenarios/​ideation/​*.md tied to the feature.
  2. Map the landscape
    • List known goals, success metrics, blockers, unknowns.
    • Capture existing assets (agents, rules, workflows) that might help.
  3. Generate options
    • Expand at least three distinct approaches (different modes, agents, or workflows).
    • Note pros/​cons, risk, required verification per approach.
  4. Select candidate plan
    • Pick the best approach and flag what still needs validation.
  5. Seed Tasks
    • Open the Task view (T) and add top-level tasks from the brainstorming takeaways (or run /​ctx:plan next to formalize).

Output format

### Problem / Goal
### Success Signals
### Constraints / Risks
### Existing Assets
### Options
- Option A …
- Option B …
- Option C …
### Chosen Direction & Next Checks

Paste the summary into the chat (or save under scenarios/). Then move to /​ctx:plan.
