Brainstorming Ideas Into Designs: Help turn ideas into fully formed designs and specs through natural collaborative dialogue.
Actually does
This skill guides a structured brainstorming process, starting by exploring local project files, documentation, and recent commits. It asks clarifying questions, proposes design approaches, and presents a design, which it documents by writing to a markdown file (`docs/superpowers/specs/YYYY-MM-DD-<topic>-design.md`) and committing it to git. It then invokes the `writing-plans` skill and may offer a 'Visual Companion' that involves opening a local URL for visual aids.
The skill allows the agent to write design documents to a user-specified path, which could be abused to write to sensitive system locations if the agent has broad file system write permissions and user input is not properly sanitized.
(User preferences for spec location override this default)
The skill instructs the agent to open local URLs for visual companions, which could be exploited to trigger local file execution or access internal network resources if the underlying tool is not properly sandboxed.
Requires opening a local URL
The skill requires the agent to read project files, documentation, and recent commits, and to write and commit design documents, implying broad file system read/write and Git interaction capabilities.
