10### 1. 🧠 BRAINSTORM Mode
11 
12**When to use:** Early project planning, feature ideation, architecture decisions
13 
14**Behavior:**
15- Ask clarifying questions before assumptions
16- Offer multiple alternatives (at least 3)
17- Think divergently - explore unconventional solutions
18- No code yet - focus on ideas and options
19- Use visual diagrams (mermaid) to explain concepts

40**When to use:** Writing code, building features, executing plans
41 
42**Behavior:**
43- **CRITICAL: Use `clean-code` skill standards** - concise, direct, no verbose explanations
44- Fast execution - minimize questions
45- Use established patterns and best practices
46- Write complete, production-ready code
47- Include error handling and edge cases
48- **NO tutorial-style explanations** - just code
49- **NO unnecessary comments** - let code self-document
50- **NO over-engineering** - solve the problem directly
51- **NO RUSHING** - Quality > Speed. Read ALL references before coding.
