Why it matters

Capture the user's vision, preferences, and architectural decisions through iterative interviews and automatically maintain them as structured markdown documentation (README and ADRs) that evolve with the project.

Outcomes

What it gets done

01

Read existing docs and ADRs before every interaction to stay current

02

Ask five varied, high-quality questions spanning different project dimensions

03

Update README or create new numbered ADR files after every user answer

04

Loop through interview rounds until the user signals completion

Overview

Brain To Docs

Runs a back-and-forth interview - 5 high-variety questions per round by default - to extract a user's vision, decisions, and preferences, updating README.md or a new docs/adr ADR after every single answer. Use it when a README and ADRs should be built through interview rather than written from scratch. Get explicit approval before any file-changing or remote action it triggers.

What it does

Extracts a user's taste, judgment, knowledge, vision, preferences, and decisions into durable markdown docs for a project via a back-and-forth interview loop: README holds the vision, docs/adr/ holds the decisions. Each loop iteration reads docs/adr/ and README.md first (since other agents and people edit ADRs constantly), asks 5 different, high-variety questions in plain text (never a questions UI, unless the user asked for a different number or a specific focus), then updates the docs after every single answer - deciding whether it becomes a README edit or a new ADR. It repeats until the user says they're done.

When to use - and when NOT to

Use it when the user wants to extract project vision, decisions, or preferences into durable docs, or when a README and ADRs should be built through interview rather than written from scratch. All answers and responses during the process must stay very concise, in short sentences, plain English; ADRs follow a short numbered NNNN-slug.md format with Status, Context, Decision, and Consequences sections, and the README holds vision only (decisions belong in ADRs, not the README). Don't challenge the user's thinking unless they ask or they're making a severe mistake. Being adapted from a third-party skill, verify local paths, tools, credentials, and agent features before acting, and for any commands, remote access, scheduling, browser automation, or file-changing workflows it triggers, get explicit user approval and confirm the target environment first.

Inputs and outputs

Input is the user's answers to a rolling set of interview questions, 5 by default or a different number if the user asks. Each batch is deliberately high-variety - a wide, creative spread of unique angles rather than five questions that all happen to be about the same thing, like tech stack or monetization - though a user who asks for a specific focus area gets exactly that focus instead, and picks whichever question in a round they find most useful to answer first. Output is an updated README.md and numbered ADR files in docs/adr/, updated after every single answer rather than batched at the end.

Who it's for

A project owner in the middle of an active back-and-forth session who'd rather answer one short, well-chosen question at a time than sit down and draft a README or a set of ADRs from a blank page.
