This skill should be used to refine brainstorm or plan documents before proceeding to the next workflow step. It applies when a brainstorm or plan document exists and the user wants to improve it.
Refines brainstorm or plan documents by identifying clarity, completeness, and specificity issues for actionable improvements.

Improve brainstorm or plan documents through structured review.
If a document path is provided: Read it, then proceed to Step 2.
If no document is specified: Ask which document to review, or look for the most recent brainstorm/plan in docs/brainstorms/ or docs/plans/.
Read through the document and ask:
These questions surface issues. Don't fix yet—just note what you find.
Score the document against these criteria:
| Criterion | What to Check |
|---|---|
| Clarity | Problem statement is clear, no vague language ("probably," "consider," "try to") |
| Completeness | Required sections present, constraints stated, open questions flagged |
| Specificity | Concrete enough for next step (brainstorm → can plan, plan → can implement) |
| YAGNI | No hypothetical features, simplest approach chosen |
If invoked within a workflow (after /ce:brainstorm or /ce:plan), also check:
Among everything found in Steps 2-3, does one issue stand out? If something would significantly improve the document's quality, this is the "must address" item. Highlight it prominently.
Present your findings, then:
Simplification is purposeful removal of unnecessary complexity, not shortening for its own sake.
Simplify when:
Don't simplify:
After changes are complete, ask:
After 2 refinement passes, recommend completion—diminishing returns are likely. But if the user wants to continue, allow it.
Return control to the caller (workflow or user) after selection.
Activates when the user asks about AI prompts, needs prompt templates, wants to search for prompts, or mentions prompts.chat. Use for discovering, retrieving, and improving prompts.
Search, retrieve, and install Agent Skills from the prompts.chat registry using MCP tools. Use when the user asks to find skills, browse skill catalogs, install a skill for Claude, or extend Claude's capabilities with reusable AI agent components.
Creating algorithmic art using p5.js with seeded randomness and interactive parameter exploration. Use this when users request creating art using code, generative art, algorithmic art, flow fields, or particle systems. Create original algorithmic art rather than copying existing artists' work to avoid copyright violations.
