You MUST use this before any creative work - creating features, building components, adding functionality, modifying behavior, or planning anything new, in software or out of it (a talk, a business, a renovation).
Install
Run this in your project folder. It works with Claude Code, Cursor, Codex and dozens of other agents.
$ npx skills add obra/superpowers --skill brainstormingNeeds Node.js. Add -g to install for every project, or -a claude-code to skip the agent picker.
How to use Brainstorming
Once it's installed, Claude reads this skill on its own whenever a request matches what it's for, so you don't have to mention it by name. In Claude Code you can also run it directly by typing /brainstorming.
It includes scripts that Claude may run on your computer, so skim them on GitHub before you install.
