spec-driven-brainstorming

What This Skill Does

The spec-driven-brainstorming skill acts as a specialized product discovery engine for OpenClaw. It leverages structured frameworks to transform abstract, high-level business goals into actionable, well-defined technical specifications and product backlogs. By utilizing proven methodologies such as User Story Mapping and Event Storming, it bridges the gap between stakeholders and development teams. It facilitates the creation of a 'walking skeleton' for MVPs, ensures domain logic is correctly modeled through event-driven analysis, and applies industry-standard prioritization frameworks like MoSCoW, RICE, and Kano to manage product roadmaps effectively.

Installation

To integrate this skill into your OpenClaw environment, execute the following command in your terminal:

clawhub install openclaw/skills/skills/anton-abyzov/sw-spec-driven-brainstorming

Use Cases

• MVP Definition: Rapidly determine the absolute minimum set of features required for launch by mapping the core user journey.
• Domain Modeling: Utilize Event Storming to align technical teams and subject matter experts on the flow of domain events and system boundaries.
• Backlog Grooming: Prioritize existing feature lists using quantitative models like RICE (Reach, Impact, Confidence, Effort) to ensure development efforts focus on the highest-value items.
• Ideation Sessions: Conduct virtual workshops to explore potential product pivots or feature expansions using Lean Startup principles to identify core assumptions and validate them early.

Example Prompts

1. "We are building a new subscription service for meal kits. Can you help me facilitate a user story mapping session to define the MVP and release 2?"
2. "Perform an event storming analysis for an e-commerce checkout flow. Identify the core domain events, commands, and potential external system integrations."
3. "I have a list of 10 features for our mobile app. Please apply the RICE framework to help me prioritize them for the upcoming sprint, assuming high-level impact and effort scores."

Tips & Limitations

For the best results, provide clear context about your target audience and core business objectives before starting a session. While this skill excels at logical structuring and prioritization, it works best when the user provides specific domain data. It does not execute code directly against your infrastructure; instead, it provides the roadmap and specification documents for your engineering team to implement. Ensure you review the generated output against your current tech stack constraints.
