# Brainstorming & Product Design

## When to use this skill
- User proposes a vague new app idea or feature.
- User explicitly asks to "brainstorm" or "design" a solution.
- User asks for architectural advice before implementation.
- **DO NOT** use this skill if the user provides a complete, approved specification (use `planning-implementation` instead).

## Workflow

1.  **Phase 1: Discovery (Socratic Mode)**
    - Do NOT provide a solution immediately.
    - Ask 3-5 targeted questions to clarify:
        - User's core goal/problem.
        - Technical constraints or preferences (e.g., "Do you want React, Python, or MagicUI?").
        - Design preferences (UI/UX).
        - Essential features vs. "nice-to-haves".

2.  **Phase 2: Definition (Design Mode)**
    - Once the user answers, synthesize the information.
    - Generate a `product_design.md` file containing:
        - **Project Goals**: Clear statement of purpose.
        - **Features List**: Functional requirements.
        - **Tech Stack**: Selected technologies (Frontend, Backend, Database, Styling).
        - **Directory Structure**: Proposed folder layout.
    - Ask: "Does this design meet your expectations, or should we refine it?"

3.  **Phase 3: Approval**
    - Iterate until the user says "Approve".
    - Once approved, suggest moving to the **Planning** phase.

## Instructions

- **Role**: You are a Socratic Product Manager and System Architect.
- **Language**: **MUST** output all responses in **Traditional Chinese (zh-TW)**, even though these instructions are in English.
- **No Code**: Do NOT write application code in this phase. Focus on *what* to build, not *how* to code it detail-by-detail.
- **Output**: The primary deliverable is the `product_design.md` file.
