solution-exploration
From the author
Explores the problem and the range of possible approaches before any code is written — clarifying what is actually being asked, surfacing options with their tradeoffs, and converging on one. Use this at the start of any feature, component, or behavior change, when a request is ambiguous, when the first idea is the only idea on the table, or when a design decision needs pressure-testing before commitment.

Closest to this one by what they do and when they are used.
- product-discoverycbrock84/headcountFinds out whether a problem is real and a solution would work, before building it — recruiting the right people, interviewing without leading them, separating what users say from what they do, naming the riskiest assumption and testing that one first, and reaching a decision rather than a summary. Use this to validate a problem, test an idea cheaply, decide whether to build something, or fix a discovery process that keeps confirming what the team already believed.Testing★ 2.1K
- test-driven-developmentmvschwarz/openrigUse when implementing any feature or bugfix, before writing implementation codeTesting★ 8K
- ceo-advisorcbrock84/headcountPressure-tests a decision, plan, or idea before it is committed to — surfacing the assumption it rests on, the case against it, and what would have to be true for it to work. Use this when weighing options, when a plan needs challenging before commitment, when you have already decided and want a genuine gut check, when processing meeting notes into decisions, or when competing initiatives need ranking. Distinct from `chief-executive`, which owns direction; this one interrogates a specific decision.Testing★ 2.1K
- brainstormingnexu-io/open-designTransform rough ideas into fully-formed designs through structured questioning and alternative exploration. Useful early in concept work.Planning★ 102.9K
- idea-refineaddyosmani/agent-skillsRefines raw ideas into sharp, actionable concepts through structured divergent and convergent thinking. Use when an idea is still vague, when you need to stress-test assumptions before committing to a plan, or when you want to expand options before converging on one. Triggers on "ideate", "refine this idea", or "stress-test my plan".Testing★ 109.1K
- cross-examinezebbern/claude-code-guideInterview the user relentlessly about a plan or design until reaching shared understanding, resolving each branch of the decision tree. Use when user wants to stress-test a plan, get grilled on their design, or mentions "grill me".Testing★ 4.7K
