Simplified Claude Code skills for faster work and decision making.
fun-brainstorming
A streamlined version of obra's brainstorming skill, built for speed and short sessions.
Obra's original skill is thorough — it walks through a multi-step discovery process, asks one question at a time, produces a full design document, and commits it to docs/plans/. That's great for large, ambiguous projects where upfront design pays off.
But in practice, I found that for many real-world tasks, the ceremony slowed things down more than it helped. So I built fun-brainstorming — a stripped-down version that keeps the good parts (structured thinking, exploring alternatives, getting approval before coding) and drops the overhead (sequential single-question discovery, mandatory design docs, rigid multi-phase flow).
Where fun-brainstorming performed better for me
After testing both skills across multiple sessions, fun-brainstorming consistently outperformed the original for:
- Quick feature additions — Adding a new endpoint, UI component, or config option where the scope is already mostly clear. The original skill's one-question-at-a-time flow added 5-10 extra back-and-forth messages before any real decision was made.
- Bug fix planning — When you already know the bug and need to decide between 2-3 fix strategies. The full brainstorming process felt like overkill when the problem space was already well-understood.
- Short coding sessions (< 30 min) — When you have limited time, spending half of it on structured discovery and design docs leaves little room for actual implementation. Fun-brainstorming gets to a decision in 1-2 messages.
- Refactoring decisions — Choosing between refactoring approaches (extract function vs. inline, rename vs. restructure) where the trade-offs are straightforward and a brief comparison is all you need.
When to use obra's original instead
For large greenfield projects, complex architectural decisions, or work that multiple people need to review — the full brainstorming skill with its design docs and thorough discovery process is still the better choice.

How to use this skill
Install simple-brainstorm by running npx skills add roin-orca/skills --skill simple-brainstorm in your project directory. Run the install command above in your project directory. The skill file will be downloaded from GitHub and placed in your project.
No configuration needed. Your AI agent (Claude Code, Cursor, Windsurf, etc.) automatically detects installed skills and uses them as context when generating code.
The skill enhances your agent's understanding of simple-brainstorm, helping it follow established patterns, avoid common mistakes, and produce production-ready output.
What you get
Skills are plain-text instruction files — not executable code. They encode expert knowledge about frameworks, languages, or tools that your AI agent reads to improve its output. This means zero runtime overhead, no dependency conflicts, and full transparency: you can read and review every instruction before installing.
Compatibility
This skill works with any AI coding agent that supports the skills.sh format, including Claude Code (Anthropic), Cursor, Windsurf, Cline, Aider, and other tools that read project-level context files. Skills are framework-agnostic at the transport level — the content inside determines which language or framework it applies to.
