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.

2. Ask 5 different questions in plain text (never a questions UI) — default 5

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.

3. Update docs after EVERY answer — no exceptions. You decide whether it

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

4. 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
