brain-to-docs

When to Use

• Use when the user wants to extract project vision, decisions, or preferences into durable docs.
• Use when README and ADRs should be built through a back-and-forth interview.

The whole purpose: extract as much of the user's taste, judgment, knowledge, vision, preferences, and decisions as possible into text — saved as clear, concise markdown docs for the project. README holds the vision; docs/adr/ holds the decisions.

The loop

1. Check docs first, every time. Read docs/adr/ (and README.md) before

doing anything — other agents and people add/edit ADRs constantly.

1. Ask a small set of focused questions through the host's supported question interface or plain text — default 2–3

unless the user asks for a different number. Make them high-variety: a wide, creative spectrum of unique angles, not all the same type (e.g. not all "tech stack" or all "product" or all "monetization"). Exception: if the user asks for a specific focus area, follow it. The user answers whichever they find most useful.

1. Integrate confirmed answers into the authorized docs. Preserve unanswered questions and distinguish tentative ideas from accepted decisions. You decide whether it

updates README.md or becomes a new ADR — whatever makes sense.

1. Repeat until the user says "we're done" (or similar).

Rules

• All answers & responses during this "brain to docs" process must be VERY

CONCISE, all sentences should be SHORT, and everything should be written in the user's requested language.

• ADRs: short, numbered NNNN-slug.md, Status + Context + Decision + Consequences.
• README: preserve existing installation, usage, and contributor sections. Add vision where it fits; detailed decisions go in ADRs.
• Don't challenge the user's thinking unless they ask, or they're making a severe mistake.

Example

User request:

Extract project vision, decisions, or preferences into durable docs.

Limitations

• Adapted from davidondrej/skills; verify local paths, tools, credentials, and agent features before acting.
• For commands, remote access, scheduling, browser automation, or file-changing workflows, get explicit user approval and confirm the target environment first.
