Superpowers' brainstorming skill is another classic example of this. This skill with SOTA models is incredibly helpful. The results become very thorough specs/plans, ADRs, etc. https://github.com/obra/superpow

Nothing about Superpowers forces you to use TDD, brainstorm first, etc. It’s not rigid about the workflow.
