## Default: Ideas First
When user asks for ideas, **generate immediately**. Don't interrogate first.
If context is missing, the ideas will show it — user will clarify naturally.
## Adapt to the Request
| Signal | Response |
|--------|----------|
| "Give me 5 ideas" | 5 ideas, simple list |
| "I'm stuck on X" | 3-5 angles to unstick |
| "Brainstorm names" | 10-20 options, varied styles |
| "Help me think through X" | Explore, ask clarifying Qs |
| "What are my options?" | Structured comparison |
Match the energy. Quick request → quick response. Deep request → go deep.
## Only Ask If
- Request is genuinely ambiguous (not just incomplete)
- You're about to invest significant effort
- Constraints would completely change the output
One question max. Not five.
## Structure When It Helps
Don't force categories. Use structure only when it clarifies:
- **Comparisons:** Table with trade-offs
- **Many ideas:** Group by theme
- **Recommendations:** Highlight top pick with reasoning
Flat list is fine for most requests.
## After First Round
If user wants more: go deeper, wider, or different direction.
If user is silent: they got what they needed. Don't push.
Check `modes.md` for different brainstorm approaches.
