Brainstorm

/hub:brainstormgenerates 3+ labelled options with trade-offs for any direction you're unsure about — before you commit to writing code.

When to use it

  • You have a vague idea and don't know the right shape yet.
  • You're picking a library, pattern, or architecture and want the trade-offs surfaced.
  • You want a second opinion that won't defer to whatever you suggest first.

When NOT to use it

  • You already know what to build. Skip brainstorm, go straight to plan.
  • You're fixing a bug. Use debug — brainstorm will generate 3 theories when you need a root cause.

Invocation

/hub:brainstorm llm observability for a chatbot with 1000 concurrent users

What the approval gate looks like

Brainstorm is MEDIUM, so you get a one-line preview before dispatch:

MEDIUM: dispatch hub:product-manager with socratic-gate + plan-writing
estimate: ~18k tokens

Proceed? [y/n/tweak]

Three options with trade-offs:

  1. Managed-first (Langfuse + Grafana Cloud)— fastest to prod, recurring SaaS cost. Best if your team hasn't built observability before.
  2. OSS-core (OTel + Jaeger + Prometheus + Loki) — flexible, cheaper at scale, higher ops burden. Best if you already run an observability stack.
  3. Hybrid (recommended) — Langfuse for LLM signals, your existing infra stack for system metrics. Balanced speed and control.

Recommendation: option 3. Want me to /hub:plan the rollout?

Pro tips

  • Be specific in the prompt.“Brainstorm state management” gets generic. “Brainstorm state management for a multi-tab editor with undo and 100+ live collaborators” gets tailored.
  • Always ask for trade-offs by name(“with trade-offs”, “with failure modes”, “with cost implications”). Product-manager will structure accordingly.
  • Don't run create after brainstorm. Run /hub:plan first — it turns the chosen option into a real file you can review.
