⚠ The author changed this skill after we tested it. The verdict below describes the version we ran on Jul 17, 2026; it's queued for a re-test.
The process genuinely beats naive behavior: on a CSV-export mini-task the no-skill baseline shipped working code with six silent assumptions, including a money-formatting defect (12.5 instead of 12.50 in Excel, the user's actual use case), while the skill's question-then-options-then-spec flow surfaced all six decisions before any code was written. The bundled visual-companion server started on the first try and enforced its session token (200 with key, 403 without). Two caveats: the entire skill body is in Chinese, so the workflow guidance reads in Chinese even for non-Chinese users, and the companion page loads a logo image from the author's domain with a version parameter — disable it via standard telemetry env vars if that matters to you. The final checklist step hands off to the writing-plans skill, which this standalone install does not include.
Scored on four weighted criteria — install, triggering, output vs. baseline, docs. How scoring works
- Installs cleanly 5/5
- Triggers reliably 4/5
- Output vs. baseline 7/10
- Docs & honesty 4/5
What Brainstorming (Chinese) does
The Chinese translation of the superpowers brainstorming skill: a hard gate that forces requirements discovery before any code — one clarifying question at a time, 2-3 design options with tradeoffs, a committed spec document with a self-check, and a user approval gate. Triggers before any creative work: new features, components, or behavior changes.

Frequently asked questions
- Is the Brainstorming (Chinese) skill free?
- Yes. The skill itself is free from jnMetaCode/superpowers-zh. SkillProof publishes the install command and an independent test verdict at no cost.
- Does Brainstorming (Chinese) work with Claude Code?
- We tested it with Claude Code 2.x (agent harness) on Jul 17, 2026. Verdict: Tested · Works.
