/collaboration:brainstorming

Ported from obra/superpowers (MIT). Optimized for cortex 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

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.

Map the landscape

List known goals, success metrics, blockers, unknowns.
Capture existing assets (agents, rules, workflows) that might help.

Generate options

Expand at least three distinct approaches (different modes, agents, or workflows).
Note pros/cons, risk, required verification per approach.

Select candidate plan

Pick the best approach and flag what still needs validation.

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.
