# brain-to-docs 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 he finds 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 in PLAIN ENGLISH. - ADRs: short, numbered `NNNN-slug.md`, Status + Context + Decision + Consequences. - README: vision only. Decisions go in ADRs. - Don't challenge the user's thinking unless the user asks, or the user is making a severe mistake.
