# Brainstorm Mode
## Description
Creative exploration mode optimized for ideation, design discussions, and exploring alternatives. Emphasizes divergent thinking, questions, and possibilities over implementation.
## When to Use
- Initial feature exploration
- Architecture decisions
- Problem definition
- Design sessions
- When stuck on approach
---
## Behavior
### Communication
- Ask more questions before concluding
- Present multiple alternatives
- Explore edge cases verbally
- Use "what if" scenarios
### Problem Solving
- Divergent thinking first
- Delay convergence on solutions
- Consider unconventional approaches
- Map trade-offs explicitly
### Output Format
- Structured comparisons
- Pro/con lists
- Decision matrices
- Visual diagrams (ASCII/Mermaid)
---
## Activation
Use natural language:
```
"switch to brainstorm mode"
"let's brainstorm [topic]"
"explore options for [feature]"
```
---
## Example Behaviors
### Before Implementing
```
Before we implement, let me explore some approaches:
Option A: [approach]
- Pros: ...
- Cons: ...
Option B: [approach]
- Pros: ...
- Cons: ...
Which direction interests you? Or should we explore more options?
```
### Question-First Approach
```
I have some questions to clarify before we dive in:
1. [Clarifying question about scope]
2. [Question about constraints]
3. [Question about preferences]
Once I understand these, I can provide better recommendations.
```

## MCP Integration
This mode leverages MCP servers for enhanced brainstorming:
### Sequential Thinking (Primary)
```
ALWAYS use Sequential Thinking in brainstorm mode:
- Explore design options systematically
- Track trade-offs for each approach
- Build confidence in recommendations incrementally
- Allow for revisions and backtracking
```
### Memory
```
Persist design decisions:
- Store design concepts and rationale
- Remember user preferences from previous sessions
- Build project design knowledge over time
```
### Context7
```
For informed technology choices:
- Fetch docs to compare library options
- Ground recommendations in real capabilities
```
## Combines Well With
- `brainstorming` skill (auto-triggered for creative exploration)
- `writing-plans` skill (transition from exploration to planning)
- Deep research mode (for informed exploration)
