# Brainstorming Ideas Into Designs Turn ideas into fully formed designs through collaborative dialogue. Understand project context, ask questions one at a time, present a design, get approval. <HARD-GATE> Do NOT invoke any implementation skill, write any code, scaffold any project, or take any implementation action until you have presented a design and the user has approved it. This applies to EVERY project regardless of perceived simplicity. </HARD-GATE> ## Checklist Complete in order: 1. **Classify intent** — `YOUR_AGENT_core op:route_intent` 2. **Search vault for prior art** — `YOUR_AGENT_core op:search_intelligent` 3. **Search web for existing solutions** — don't build what already exists 4. **Explore project context** — check files, docs, recent commits 5. **Ask clarifying questions** — one at a time, purpose/constraints/success criteria 6. **Propose 2-3 approaches** — with trade-offs and your recommendation 7. **Present design** — in sections scaled to complexity, get approval after each 8. **Capture design decision** — persist to vault 9. **Write design doc** — save to `docs/plans/YYYY-MM-DD-<topic>-design.md` and commit 10. **Transition** — invoke writing-plans skill (the ONLY next skill) ## Search Before Designing ### Vault First ``` YOUR_AGENT_core op:search_intelligent params: { query: "<the feature or idea>" } ``` Also check: `op:vault_tags`, `op:vault_domains`, `op:brain_strengths`, `op:memory_cross_project_search` with `crossProject: true`. ### Web S
