Brainstorming – The skill that changed Claude for me How I plan projects using Claude Code and the plugin Superpowrs

Using the Superpowers plugin's brainstorming skill with Claude Code transforms solo development workflows by adding a structured planning phase before code generation. The 6-step brainstorming flow explores existing context, asks clarifying questions, proposes 2-3 implementation approaches, and produces a design document plus implementation plan. This addresses a key weakness of LLMs — jumping to implementation with incomplete requirements — and helps solo developers cover both technical and product planning gaps that would normally require a full team.
