# Brainstorming Ideas Into Designs

## Overview

Help turn ideas into fully formed designs and specs through natural collaborative dialogue.

Start by understanding the current project context, then ask questions one at a time to refine the idea. Once you understand what you're building, present the design and get user 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.

Announce: "Design HARD-GATE: I will not write code or scaffold files until you approve this design."

An implementation action is: writing any file that will be part of the product (src/, lib/, app/), running npm init/create-*, generating scaffolding.
