issue:from-brainstorm

Bridge command that converts brainstorm-with-file session output into executable issue + solution for parallel-dev-cycle consumption.

Description

The issue:from-brainstorm command converts brainstorm session ideas into structured issues with executable solutions. It loads synthesis results, selects ideas, enriches context with multi-CLI perspectives, and generates task-based solutions ready for execution.

Key Features

  • Idea selection: Interactive or automatic (highest-scored) selection
  • Context enrichment: Adds clarifications and multi-perspective insights
  • Auto task generation: Creates structured tasks from idea next_steps
  • Priority calculation: Derives priority from idea score (0-10 → 1-5)
  • Direct binding: Solution automatically bound to issue
  • Session metadata: Preserves brainstorm origin in issue

Usage

# Interactive mode - select idea from table
/issue:from-brainstorm SESSION="BS-rate-limiting-2025-01-28"

# Auto mode - select highest-scored idea
/issue:from-brainstorm SESSION="BS-caching-2025-01-28" --auto

# Pre-select idea by index
/issue:from-brainstorm SESSION="BS-auth-system-2025-01-28" --idea=0

# Auto mode with skip confirmations
/issue:from-brainstorm SESSION="BS-caching-2025-01-28" --auto -y

Arguments

ArgumentRequiredDescription
SESSIONYesSession ID or path to .workflow/.brainstorm/BS-xxx
--idea <index>NoPre-select idea by index (0-based)
--autoNoAuto-select highest-scored idea
-y, --yesNoSkip all confirmations

Examples

Interactive Mode

/issue:from-brainstorm SESSION="BS-rate-limiting-2025-01-28"
# Output:
# | # | Title | Score | Feasibility |
# |---|-------|-------|-------------|
# | 0 | Token Bucket Algorithm | 8.5 | High |
# | 1 | Sliding Window Counter | 7.2 | Medium |
# | 2 | Fixed Window | 6.1 | High |
#
# Select idea: #0
#
# ✓ Created issue: ISS-20250128-001
# ✓ Created solution: SOL-ISS-20250128-001-ab3d
# ✓ Bound solution to issue
# → Status: planned
# → Next: /issue:queue

Auto Mode

/issue:from-brainstorm SESSION="BS-caching-2025-01-28" --auto
# Output:
# Auto-selected: Redis Cache Layer (Score: 9.2/10)
# ✓ Created issue: ISS-20250128-002
# ✓ Solution with 4 tasks:
# - T1: Research & Validate Approach
# - T2: Design & Create Specification
# - T3: Implement Redis Cache Layer
# - T4: Write Integration Tests
# → Status: planned

Pre-select Idea

/issue:from-brainstorm SESSION="BS-auth-system-2025-01-28" --idea=1
# Skips selection, uses idea at index 1

Synthesis Schema

interface Synthesis {
session_id: string;
topic: string;
completed_at: string;
top_ideas: Idea[];
}

interface Idea {
index: number;
title: string;
description: string;
score: number; // 0-10
novelty: number; // 0-10
feasibility: 'Low' | 'Medium' | 'High';
key_strengths: string[];
main_challenges: string[];
next_steps: string[];
}

Context Enrichment

Base Context (Always Included)

## Idea Description
{idea.description}

## Why This Idea
{idea.key_strengths}

## Challenges to Address
{idea.main_challenges}

## Implementation Steps
{idea.next_steps}

Enhanced Context (If Available)

From Synthesis Artifacts

## Requirements Clarification (system-architect)
Q: How will this integrate with existing auth?
A: Will use adapter pattern to wrap current system

## Architecture Feasibility (api-designer)
Q: What API changes are needed?
A: New /oauth/* endpoints, backward compatible

From Multi-CLI Perspectives

## Creative Perspective
Insight: Consider gamification to improve adoption

## Pragmatic Perspective
Blocker: Current rate limiter lacks configuration

## Systematic Perspective
Pattern: Token bucket provides better burst handling

Task Generation Strategy

Task 1: Research & Validation

Trigger: idea.main_challenges.length > 0

{
id: "T1",
title: "Research & Validate Approach",
scope: "design",
action: "Research",
implementation: [
"Investate identified blockers",
"Review similar implementations in industry",
"Validate approach with team/stakeholders"
],
acceptance: {
criteria: [
"Blockers documented with resolution strategies",
"Feasibility assessed with risk mitigation",
"Approach validated with key stakeholders"
],
verification: [
"Research document created",
"Stakeholder approval obtained",
"Risk assessment completed"
]
},
priority: 1
}

Task 2: Design & Specification

Trigger: idea.key_strengths.length > 0

{
id: "T2",
title: "Design & Create Specification",
scope: "design",
action: "Design",
implementation: [
"Create detailed design document",
"Define success metrics and KPIs",
"Plan implementation phases"
],
acceptance: {
criteria: [
"Design document complete with diagrams",
"Success metrics defined and measurable",
"Implementation plan with timeline"
],
verification: [
"Design reviewed and approved",
"Metrics tracked in dashboard",
"Phase milestones defined"
]
},
priority: 2
}

Task 3+: Implementation Tasks

Trigger: idea.next_steps[]

Each next_step becomes a task:

{
id: "T3",
title: "{next_steps[0]}", // max 60 chars
scope: inferScope(step), // backend, frontend, infra...
action: detectAction(step), // Implement, Create, Update...
implementation: [
"Execute: {next_steps[0]}",
"Follow design specification",
"Write unit and integration tests"
],
acceptance: {
criteria: [
"Step implemented per design",
"Tests passing with coverage >80%",
"Code reviewed and approved"
],
verification: [
"Functional tests pass",
"Code coverage meets threshold",
"Review approved"
]
},
priority: 3
}

Fallback Task

Trigger: No tasks generated from above

{
id: "T1",
title: idea.title,
scope: "implementation",
action: "Implement",
implementation: [
"Analyze requirements and context",
"Design solution approach",
"Implement core functionality",
"Write comprehensive tests",
"Document changes and usage"
],
acceptance: {
criteria: [
"Core functionality working",
"Tests passing",
"Documentation complete"
],
verification: [
"Manual testing successful",
"Automated tests pass",
"Docs reviewed"
]
},
priority: 3
}

Priority Calculation

Issue Priority

// idea.score: 0-10 → priority: 1-5
priority = max(1, min(5, ceil((10 - score) / 2)))

Examples:
score 9-10 → priority 1 (critical)
score 7-8 → priority 2 (high)
score 5-6 → priority 3 (medium)
score 3-4 → priority 4 (low)
score 0-2 → priority 5 (lowest)

Task Priority

  • Research task: 1 (highest - validates approach)
  • Design task: 2 (high - foundation for implementation)
  • Implementation tasks: 3 by default
  • Testing/documentation: 4-5 (lower priority)
