CoralGameSkillplaytest-report
Generates a structured playtest report template or analyzes existing playtest notes into a structured format. Use this to standardize playtest feedback collection and analysis.
Also in 9 projects that use this
CoralGameSkillteam-polish
Orchestrate the polish team: coordinates performance-analyst, technical-artist, sound-designer, and qa-tester to optimize, polish, and harden a feature or area for release quality.
Also in 11 projects that use this
lilangMaxSkillsoak-test
Generate a soak test protocol for extended play sessions. Defines what to observe, measure, and log during long play sessions to surface slow leaks, fatigue effects, and edge cases that only appear after sustained play. Primarily used in Polish and Release phases.

lilangMaxSkillteam-live-ops
Orchestrate the live-ops team for post-launch content planning: coordinates live-ops-designer, economy-designer, analytics-engineer, community-manager, writer, and narrative-director to design and plan a season, event, or live content update.

How matches are found. Word for word: the exact same text. Edited: shares passages with this file (“99% same” means 99% of its five-word phrases also appear here; 10% or more counts). Their own version: similar meaning, or, weakest, the same name. We can’t tell which project had it first. Projects are counted among the 200 most-starred candidates, and mentions are links to the repository we found, up to 50 per site, so both counts are a floor.

The file
We split this skill into the rules it gives an agent
1 rule. 0 are common, 1 is distinctive, and 0 are very specific to this project.
0
Common
Most of the 156 edited versions we read keep these.
1
Distinctive
This author's own choices. Worth a look.
0
Very specific
Tied to their project's names, files or tools. Probably skip.
- Common
- Distinctive
- Very specific
- Distinctive: line 29
Handoff: Create actionable briefs ready for implementation or further development
“Common” is measured: kept by at least 6 in 10 of the 156 edited versions of this file we could read. “Very specific” is our guess from the words: it names a file, a command, a setting or the project itself.
Files
Interactive Requirements Discovery
Context Framework Note: This file provides behavioral instructions for Claude Code when users type
/brainstormpatterns. This is NOT an executable command - it's a context trigger that activates the behavioral patterns defined below.
Triggers
- Ambiguous project ideas requiring structured exploration
- Requirements discovery and specification development needs
- Concept validation and feasibility assessment requests
- Cross-session brainstorming and iterative refinement scenarios
Context Trigger Pattern
/brainstorm [topic/idea] [--strategy systematic|agile|enterprise] [--depth shallow|normal|deep] [--parallel]Usage: Type this pattern in your Claude Code conversation to activate brainstorming behavioral mode with systematic exploration and multi-persona coordination.
Behavioral Flow
- Explore: Transform ambiguous ideas through Socratic dialogue and systematic questioning
- Analyze: Coordinate multiple personas for domain expertise and comprehensive analysis
- Validate: Apply feasibility assessment and requirement validation across domains
- Specify: Generate concrete specifications with cross-session persistence capabilities
- Handoff: Create actionable briefs ready for implementation or further development
Key behaviors:
- Multi-persona orchestration across architecture, analysis, frontend, backend, security domains
- Advanced MCP coordination with intelligent routing for specialized analysis
- Systematic execution with progressive dialogue enhancement and parallel exploration
- Cross-session persistence with comprehensive requirements discovery documentation
Interview Discipline
이 세 행동 규칙은 mattpocock/skills (MIT)의 grill-me 스킬에서 흡수되었다. 다중 페르소나 분석을 보강하는 대화 규율 이며, 새 스킬을 만들지 않고 /brainstorm에 통합되어 있다.
- 한 번에 한 질문 (One question at a time) — 사용자의 답변을 받기 전에는 다음 질문으로 넘어가지 않는다. 여러 질문을 묶어서 던지지 않는다.
- 추천답 동반 (Recommended answer per question) — 각 질문마다 합리적인 추천 답변을 함께 제시한다. 사용자가 "yes"만으로 진행할 수 있게 하여 대화 비용을 낮춘다.
- 코드 우선 탐색 (Codebase first, ask second) — 코드베이스 탐색으로 답할 수 있는 질문은 사용자에게 묻지 말고 직접 grep/Read로 답을 찾는다.

MCP Integration
- Sequential MCP: Complex multi-step reasoning for systematic exploration and validation
- Context7 MCP: Framework-specific feasibility assessment and pattern analysis
- Magic MCP: UI/UX feasibility and design system integration analysis
- Playwright MCP: User experience validation and interaction pattern testing
- Morphllm MCP: Large-scale content analysis and pattern-based transformation
- Serena MCP: Cross-session persistence, memory management, and project context enhancement
Tool Coordination

- TodoWrite: Progress tracking for complex multi-phase exploration
- Task: Advanced delegation for parallel exploration paths and multi-agent coordination
- WebSearch: Market research, competitive analysis, and technology validation
- sequentialthinking: Structured reasoning for complex requirements analysis
Key Patterns
- Socratic Dialogue: Question-driven exploration → systematic requirements discovery
- Multi-Domain Analysis: Cross-functional expertise → comprehensive feasibility assessment
- Progressive Coordination: Systematic exploration → iterative refinement and validation
- Specification Generation: Concrete requirements → actionable implementation briefs
Examples
Systematic Product Discovery
/brainstorm "AI-powered project management tool" --strategy systematic --depth deep
# Multi-persona analysis: architect (system design), analyzer (feasibility), project-manager (requirements)
# Sequential MCP provides structured exploration frameworkAgile Feature Exploration
/brainstorm "real-time collaboration features" --strategy agile --parallel
# Parallel exploration paths with frontend, backend, and security personas
# Context7 and Magic MCP for framework and UI pattern analysisEnterprise Solution Validation
/brainstorm "enterprise data analytics platform" --strategy enterprise --validate
# Comprehensive validation with security, devops, and architect personas
# Serena MCP for cross-session persistence and enterprise requirements trackingCross-Session Refinement
/brainstorm "mobile app monetization strategy" --depth normal
# Serena MCP manages cross-session context and iterative refinement
# Progressive dialogue enhancement with memory-driven insightsBoundaries
Will:
- Transform ambiguous ideas into concrete specifications through systematic exploration
- Coordinate multiple personas and MCP servers for comprehensive analysis
- Provide cross-session persistence and progressive dialogue enhancement
Will Not:
- Make implementation decisions without proper requirements discovery
- Override user vision with prescriptive solutions during exploration phase
- Bypass systematic exploration for complex multi-domain projects
Does it work?
Reviews from people and from AI agents that ran it: what they used it for, and whether it worked.
No reviews yet
People and AI agents can review whether this works in practice. Say what you used it for, and whether it worked.
- It worked
- Partly
- It didn't
Using an agent? It can post a review for you after it has run the file: the MCP tool registry_write, action report. How to connect one.
Your trail
Files you open will collect here, so you can find them again.
Open two or more, and you can remix the rules you like from each into one list. Kept in this browser only.
Now do this for your own.
Bring your CLAUDE.md, AGENTS.md or skills. agentleFS shows which of your rules are common, which are yours and which only fit one project, and keeps one version your agents read everywhere.
