Idea Brainstorm

What it does

Developing a rough idea into a well-formed plan or design through structured exploration, alternative generation, and collaborative refinement.

Procedure

When this skill is activated, Chalie follows these steps:

1. Use memory to recall any prior context, preferences, or related plans relevant to the topic.
2. Ask one focused question at a time to clarify the purpose, constraints, and success criteria — prefer multiple-choice when possible — then log requirements in document.
3. Use search to look up relevant background information, prior art, or examples that could inform the design.
4. Use document to generate six distinct approaches: three high-confidence options (well-understood, likely to work) and three diverse exploratory options (different regions of the solution space).
5. Present the approaches from document with trade-offs — lead with the recommended option and explain the reasoning behind that recommendation.
6. Once the preferred direction is chosen, use document to build out the design in sections of 200-300 words — check each section with the user before continuing.
7. Iterate based on feedback — revise any section in document that needs clarification or adjustment.
8. Use document to save the validated design or plan as a persistent record, then store a concise summary in memory.
