`/collaboration:brainstorming`

Name: brainstorming
Author: nickcrew

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.
