From superbeads
Use when starting any creative work — creating features, building components, adding functionality, or modifying behavior — in a superbeads project where beads is the source of truth instead of markdown docs.

Announce: **Using superbeads:brainstorming.**
Announce: Using superbeads:brainstorming.
Thin wrapper over superpowers:brainstorming. Runs its full dialogue unchanged and intercepts three specific steps inside that dialogue. Do not restate the contract or the field mapping here — see skills/using-superbeads/SKILL.md.
Override active from the start. The three intercept points below SUPERSEDE superpowers' corresponding steps. While running superpowers:brainstorming: do NOT write any spec file under docs/superpowers/, do NOT ask the user to review a file, and do NOT invoke superpowers:writing-plans. These are replaced by the beads steps below.
Invoke superpowers:brainstorming via the Skill tool. Execute its full checklist as written:
Do NOT write to docs/superpowers/. Instead, immediately after the user approves the design (at the point superpowers would write the design doc, before its spec self-review), run /superbeads-materialize MODE A to create the beads epic from the approved design content. Fields are mapped per using-superbeads.
Direct the user to review the persisted record:
"Epic created. Run
bd show <epic-id>to review it. Let me know if you want changes before we move to the implementation plan."
Wait for approval. If changes are requested, update the epic via /superbeads-materialize and re-check the epic for completeness and consistency. Only proceed once the user approves.
Do NOT invoke superpowers:writing-plans. Invoke superbeads:writing-plans for epic <epic-id> (the epic just created in Step 2) — pass that id explicitly so the writing-plans skill can attach child tasks to the correct epic.
If superpowers:brainstorming writes a scratch file to docs/superpowers/ despite this override, /superbeads-materialize ingests it and deletes it. See using-superbeads for the procedure.
Creates, edits, and optimizes skills for Claude Code, including drafting, evaluating with test prompts, iterating on performance, and improving skill descriptions for better triggering accuracy.
