Design Brainstorming

For non-trivial work (a new feature, a new project, an architectural refactor) Claude first reads the context, asks only the questions it cannot answer from the code, and proposes two or three approaches with their trade-offs. Once you pick one, it writes the design down if it is worth keeping and moves on to implementation. A short section covers presentations and teaching material.

Targeted fixes and tasks with explicit instructions skip the whole process.
