// IMMEDIATELY USE THIS SKILL when creating or develop anything and before writing code or implementation plans - refines rough ideas into fully-formed designs through structured Socratic questioning, alternative exploration, and incremental validation
Use when implementing user interfaces or user experiences - guides through exploration of design variations, frontend setup, iteration, and proper integration
Use this skill when faced with a difficult debugging task where you need to replicate some bug or behavior in order to see what is going wrong.
Use when you need to create a new custom skill for a profile - guides through gathering requirements, creating directory structure, writing SKILL.md, and optionally adding bundled scripts
Use this when you have completed some feature implementation and have written passing tests, and you are ready to create a PR.
Use when receiving code review feedback, before implementing suggestions, especially if feedback seems unclear or technically questionable - requires technical rigor and verification, not performative agreement or blind implementation
ALWAYS load this skill if it is not already loaded, for ANY user query or conversation - establishes the Nori workflow, protected-branch check, operating mode, tone, and coding guidelines before any other work

| description | IMMEDIATELY USE THIS SKILL when creating or develop anything and before writing code or implementation plans - refines rough ideas into fully-formed designs through structured Socratic questioning, alternative exploration, and incremental validation |
Transform rough ideas into fully-formed designs through structured questioning and alternative exploration.
Core principle: Ask questions to understand, explore alternatives, present design incrementally for validation.
Announce at start: "I'm using the Nori Brainstorming skill to refine your idea into a design."
When design is approved and implementation will follow:
Ask: "Ready to create the implementation plan?"
When your human partner confirms (any affirmative response):
You can and should go backward when:
Don't force forward linearly when going backward would give better results.
