Brainstorm To Code

Brainstorm-to-Code Skill

This skill helps you iteratively brainstorm a topic and convert it into a well-structured Python class skeleton with:

• Single attributes with private variables, getters, and setters
• Multiple attributes as arrays with getters and setters
• Real-world methods with business logic (all with pass statements)

Workflow

1. Start Simple

Ask the user for their topic and create an empty class:

class TopicName:
    pass

2. Brainstorm Components

Identify what the class needs:

• Single items (like an engine in a car, or IQ in a brain) → private variable + getter/setter
• Multiple items (like tyres, seats, lobes) → array with all specific items

Ask guiding questions like:

• "What are the main components?"
• "Are there things that come in multiples?"
• "Should we track any measurements or properties?"

3. Brainstorm Methods

Think about real-world behaviors and actions:

• What can this object do?
• What operations would a user perform on it?
• What calculations or processes should it handle?

Ask questions like:

• "What actions can be performed on this?"
• "What real-world functions would this need?"
• "Should it track state changes?"

4. Generate Python Skeleton

Once you've brainstormed both components and methods, generate the complete skeleton:

Pattern for single attributes:

def get_attribute_name(self):
    pass

def set_attribute_name(self, value):
    pass

Pattern for array attributes:

self.attribute_name = [
    "item_1",
    "item_2",
    "item_3"
]

def get_attribute_name(self):
    pass

def set_attribute_name(self, items):
    pass

Pattern for methods:

def method_name(self, param1, param2):
    pass

def another_method(self):
    pass

Tips

• Ask clarifying questions before generating to ensure you're capturing the user's vision
• Group related attributes logically in __init__
• Use descriptive method names that reflect real-world actions
• If unsure about a component, suggest it but ask for confirmation
• Iterate - if the user says "let's add X" or "remove Y", regenerate the skeleton with updates

Example Topics

• Vehicles (car, truck, bike)
• Living things (human, animal, plant)
• Systems (school, hospital, library)
• Technology (smartphone, computer, game)
• Organizations (company, team, club)
