What Brainstorm does

Brainstorm gathers and structures Elixir/Phoenix requirements through an interactive interview, then saves an interview.md file for later planning. Use it when an idea is vague, the approach is unclear, or you want to compare options before planning.

Brainstorm is cataloged under AI Engineering on DirSkills. Brainstorm comes from a repository tagged ai-agents, ai-coding-assistant, automation, claude and claude-code.

Documentation

README

Brainstorm — Adaptive Requirements Gathering

Interactive interview → research → synthesis loop. Produces structured interview.md that /phx:plan detects and consumes (skipping clarification).

Usage

/phx:brainstorm Add some kind of notification system
/phx:brainstorm Improve authentication security
/phx:brainstorm                    # starts with open question

Workflow

/phx:brainstorm {topic}
    |
    v
[INTERVIEW] ←──────────────────┐
    |                           |
    v (sufficient OR user exit) |
[DECISION POINT]                |
    ├─ Research ──→ [RESEARCH] ─┘
    ├─ Continue interview ──────┘
    ├─ Make a plan ──→ STOP (suggest /phx:plan {slug})
    ├─ Store & exit ──→ STOP (artifacts saved)
    └─ Discuss ──→ freeform ──→ [DECISION POINT]
