Trevin Chow cc905c7b9a feat: Add /workflows:brainstorm command and skill (#101)
* feat(workflows:plan): Add smart research decision logic

Previously, /workflows:plan always ran all 3 research agents (repo-research,
best-practices, framework-docs) regardless of task complexity. This wasted
tokens and time for simple tasks like UI tweaks or bug fixes with clear causes.

Now the workflow:
- Always runs repo research first (fast, local)
- Makes an informed decision about external research based on:
  - Signals gathered during idea refinement (familiarity, intent, risk)
  - Repo research findings (existing patterns, CLAUDE.md guidance)
- High-risk topics (security, payments, external APIs) always trigger research
- Strong local context allows skipping external research
- Announces the decision and proceeds, user can redirect if needed

This makes the planning workflow smarter about when web research adds value.

* feat: Add /workflows:brainstorm command and skill

Add brainstorming workflow to explore requirements and approaches
before planning implementation:

- New `/workflows:brainstorm` command for collaborative dialogue
- New `brainstorming` skill with process knowledge and techniques
- Update `/workflows:plan` to detect brainstorm output and skip
  idea refinement when relevant brainstorm exists
- Add brainstorm to README workflow commands table

The brainstorm → plan flow enables:
- Phase 0: Assess requirement clarity
- Phase 1: Understand the idea via repo research + dialogue
- Phase 2: Explore 2-3 approaches with trade-offs
- Phase 3: Capture design to docs/brainstorms/
- Phase 4: Handoff to /workflows:plan
