The ONLY skill you invoke after brainstorming is writing-plans. + +## The Process + +**Understanding the idea:** + +- Check out the current project state first (files, docs, recent commits) +- Before asking detailed questions, assess scope: if the request describes multiple independent subsystems (e.g., "build a platform with chat, file storage, billing, and analytics"), flag this immediately. Don't spend questions refining details of a project that needs to be decomposed first. +- If the project is too large for a single spec, help the user decompose into sub-projects: what are the independent pieces, how do they relate, what order should they be built? Then brainstorm the first sub-project through the normal design flow. Each sub-project gets its own spec → plan → implementation cycle. +- For appropriately-scoped projects, ask questions one at a time to refine the idea +- Prefer multiple choice questions when possible, but open-ended is fine too +- Only one question per message - if a topic needs more exploration, break it into multiple questions +- Focus on understanding: purpose, constraints, success criteria + +**Exploring approaches:** + +- Propose 2-3 different approaches with trade-offs +- Present options conversationally with your recommendation and reasoning +- Lead with your recommended option and explain why + +**Presenting the design:** + +- Once you believe you understand what you're building, present the design +- Scale each section to its complexity: a few sentences if straightforward, up to 200-300 words if nuanced +- Ask after each section whether it looks right so far +- Cover: architecture, components, data flow, error handling, testing +- Be ready to go back and clarify if something doesn't make sense + +**Design for isolation and clarity:** + +- Break the system into smaller units that each have one clear purpose, communicate through well-defined interfaces, and can be understood and tested independently +- For each unit, you should be able to answer: what does it do, how do you use it, and what does it depend on? +- Can someone understand what a unit does without reading its internals? Can you change the internals without breaking consumers? If not, the boundaries need work. +- Smaller, well-bounded units are also easier for you to work with - you reason better about code you can hold in context at once, and your edits are more reliable when files are focused. When a file grows large, that's often a signal that it's doing too much. + +**Working in existing codebases:** + +- Explore the current structure before proposing changes. Follow existing patterns. +- Where existing code has problems that affect the work (e.g., a file that's grown too large, unclear boundaries, tangled responsibilities), include targeted improvements as part of the design - the way a good developer improves code they're working in. +- Don't propose unrelated refactoring. Stay focused on what serves the current goal. + +## After the Design + +**Documentation:** + +- Write the validated design (spec) to `docs/superpowers/specs/YYYY-MM-DD--design.md` + - (User preferences for spec location override this default) +- Use elements-of-style:writing-clearly-and-concisely skill if available +- Commit the design document to git + +**Spec Self-Review:** +After writing the spec document, look at it with fresh eyes: + +1. **Placeholder scan:** Any "TBD", "TODO", incomplete sections, or vague requirements? Fix them. +2. **Internal consistency:** Do any sections contradict each other? Does the architecture match the feature descriptions? +3. **Scope check:** Is this focused enough for a single implementation plan, or does it need decomposition? +4. **Ambiguity check:** Could any requirement be interpreted two different ways? If so, pick one and make it explicit. + +Fix any issues inline. No need to re-review — just fix and move on. + +**User Review Gate:** +After the spec review loop passes, ask the user to review the written spec before proceeding: + +> "Spec written and committed to ``. Please review it and let me know if you want to make any changes before we start writing out the implementation plan." + +Wait for the user's response. If they request changes, make them and re-run the spec review loop. Only proceed once the user approves. + +**Implementation:** + +- Invoke the writing-plans skill to create a detailed implementation plan +- Do NOT invoke any other skill. writing-plans is the next step. + +## Key Principles + +- **One question at a time** - Don't overwhelm with multiple questions +- **Multiple choice preferred** - Easier to answer than open-ended when possible +- **YAGNI ruthlessly** - Remove unnecessary features from all designs +- **Explore alternatives** - Always propose 2-3 approaches before settling +- **Incremental validation** - Present design, get approval before moving on +- **Be flexible** - Go back and clarify when something doesn't make sense + +## Visual Companion + +A browser-based companion for showing mockups, diagrams, and visual options during brainstorming. Available as a tool — not a mode. Accepting the companion means it's available for questions that benefit from visual treatment; it does NOT mean every question goes through the browser. + +**Offering the companion:** When you anticipate that upcoming questions will involve visual content (mockups, layouts, diagrams), offer it once for consent: +> "Some of what we're working on might be easier to explain if I can show it to you in a web browser. I can put together mockups, diagrams, comparisons, and other visuals as we go. This feature is still new and can be token-intensive. Want to try it?

The message should contain ONLY the offer above and nothing else. Wait for the user's response before continuing. If they decline, proceed with text-only brainstorming. + +**Per-question decision:** Even after the user accepts, decide FOR EACH QUESTION whether to use the browser or the terminal. The test: **would the user understand this better by seeing it than reading it?** + +- **Use the browser** for content that IS visual — mockups, wireframes, layout comparisons, architecture diagrams, side-by-side visual designs +- **Use the terminal** for content that is text — requirements questions, conceptual choices, tradeoff lists, A/B/C/D text options, scope decisions + +A question about a UI topic is not automatically a visual question. "What does personality mean in this context?" is a conceptual question — use the terminal. "Which wizard layout works better?" is a visual question — use the browser. + +If they agree to the companion, read the detailed guide before proceeding: +`skills/brainstorming/visual-companion.md` diff --git a/superpowers/brainstorming/scripts/frame-template.html b/superpowers/brainstorming/scripts/frame-template.html new file mode 100644 index 0000000..dcfe018 --- /dev/null +++ b/superpowers/brainstorming/scripts/frame-template.html @@ -0,0 +1,214 @@ + + + + + Superpowers Brainstorming + + + +

You write HTML content to `screen_dir`, the user sees it in their browser and can click to select options. Selections are recorded to `state_dir/events` that you read on your next turn. + +**Content fragments vs full documents:** If your HTML file starts with `/.superpowers/brainstorm/` for the session directory. + +**Note:** Pass the project root as `--project-dir` so mockups persist in `.superpowers/brainstorm/` and survive server restarts. Without it, files go to `/tmp` and get cleaned up. Remind the user to add `.superpowers/` to `.gitignore` if it's not already there. + +**Launching the server by platform:** + +**Claude Code (macOS / Linux):** +```bash +# Default mode works — the script backgrounds the server itself +scripts/start-server.sh --project-dir /path/to/project +``` + +**Claude Code (Windows):** +```bash +# Windows auto-detects and uses foreground mode, which blocks the tool call. +# Use run_in_background: true on the Bash tool call so the server survives +# across conversation turns. +scripts/start-server.sh --project-dir /path/to/project +``` +When calling this via the Bash tool, set `run_in_background: true`. Then read `$STATE_DIR/server-info` on the next turn to get the URL and port. + +**Codex:** +```bash +# Codex reaps background processes. The script auto-detects CODEX_CI and +# switches to foreground mode. Run it normally — no extra flags needed. +scripts/start-server.sh --project-dir /path/to/project +``` + +**Gemini CLI:** +```bash +# Use --foreground and set is_background: true on your shell tool call +# so the process survives across turns +scripts/start-server.sh --project-dir /path/to/project --foreground +``` + +**Other environments:** The server must keep running in the background across conversation turns. If your environment reaps detached processes, use `--foreground` and launch the command with your platform's background execution mechanism. + +If the URL is unreachable from your browser (common in remote/containerized setups), bind a non-loopback host: + +```bash +scripts/start-server.sh \ + --project-dir /path/to/project \ + --host 0.0.0.0 \ + --url-host localhost +``` + +Use `--url-host` to control what hostname is printed in the returned URL JSON. + +## The Loop + +1. **Check server is alive**, then **write HTML** to a new file in `screen_dir`: + - Before each write, check that `$STATE_DIR/server-info` exists. If it doesn't (or `$STATE_DIR/server-stopped` exists), the server has shut down — restart it with `start-server.sh` before continuing. The server auto-exits after 30 minutes of inactivity. + - Use semantic filenames: `platform.html`, `visual-style.html`, `layout.html` + - **Never reuse filenames** — each screen gets a fresh file + - Use Write tool — **never use cat/heredoc** (dumps noise into terminal) + - Server automatically serves the newest file + +2. **Tell user what to expect and end your turn:** + - Remind them of the URL (every step, not just first) + - Give a brief text summary of what's on screen (e.g., "Showing 3 layout options for the homepage") + - Ask them to respond in the terminal: "Take a look and let me know what you think. Click to select an option if you'd like." + +3. **On your next turn** — after the user responds in the terminal: + - Read `$STATE_DIR/events` if it exists — this contains the user's browser interactions (clicks, selections) as JSON lines + - Merge with the user's terminal text to get the full picture + - The terminal message is the primary feedback; `state_dir/events` provides structured interaction data + +4. **Iterate or advance** — if feedback changes current screen, write a new file (e.g., `layout-v2.html`). Only move to the next question when the current step is validated. + +5. **Unload when returning to terminal** — when the next step doesn't need the browser (e.g., a clarifying question, a tradeoff discussion), push a waiting screen to clear the stale content: + + ```html + +
+

Continuing in terminal...

+
+ ``` + + This prevents the user from staring at a resolved choice while the conversation has moved on. When the next visual question comes up, push a new content file as usual. + +6. Repeat until done. + +## Writing Content Fragments + +Write just the content that goes inside the page. The server wraps it in the frame template automatically (header, theme CSS, selection indicator, and all interactive infrastructure). + +**Minimal example:** + +```html +

Which layout works better?

+

Consider readability and visual hierarchy

+ +
+
+
A
+
+

Single Column

+

Clean, focused reading experience

+
+
+
+
B
+
+

Two Column

+

Sidebar navigation with main content
