Brainstorming

Get Claude to ask the smart questions before it jumps to a solution.

Part of Superpowers by @obra

Brainstorming is a thinking skill that stops Claude from rushing to an answer. Before any real work — a feature, a design, a decision — it draws out what you actually want through a natural back-and-forth, surfacing the requirements and trade-offs first, so what gets built is the right thing, not just the fast thing.

What it does

  • Explores your real intent through natural, collaborative questions before proposing anything.
  • Surfaces requirements, edge cases, and trade-offs you hadn’t thought of.
  • Turns a vague idea into a clear, fully-formed design or spec.
  • Stops the classic “AI that answers too fast” problem in its tracks.
