8> or SKILL.md content.** Skipping brainstorming produces skills that are either
9> too rigid or too vague. The brainstorming conversation is the most important
10> part of this process.

12## Phase 1: Brainstorming (MANDATORY)
13 
14Have an **iterative back-and-forth conversation** with the user. Do NOT ask all

29For each step identified in the workflow, determine its rigidity:
30 
311.  "For [step X], if the primary approach fails (e.g., API down, no results),
32    should the agent: (a) ask you for guidance, (b) try alternative approaches
33    automatically, or (c) fail loudly with an error?"
342.  "Are there any steps where the exact method matters (e.g., must use a
