Getting it into your agent
One page per mod, every tool's command on it. A separate URL per tool would split the same page into five that compete with each other.

A badge with what this costs and how it scanned, read live from this page, so it follows the numbers instead of freezing them. Markdown for a README, HTML for a documentation site or a project page.

Counted locally with the o200k_base tokenizer, which is exact for GPT models; Claude uses its own tokenizer and its counts differ. Treat this as one consistent yardstick across the catalogue rather than a bill. Prices are per million input tokens.
| Model | Per session | Once invoked |
|---|---|---|
| Fable 5.1 | $0.00021 | $0.00365 |
| Opus 5 | $0.00010 | $0.00182 |
| Sonnet 5 | $0.00004 | $0.00073 |
| Haiku 4.5 | $0.00002 | $0.00036 |
Grade A, and why
brainstormer scanned grade A with 0 findings against 26 rules in 11 categories — prompt injection, anti-refusal, data exfiltration, privilege escalation, supply chain, agent snooping, system-prompt leakage, SSRF and excessive agency — measured 8d ago.
A static scan of the body, not an audit. Every finding is printed with the line that produced it so you can judge whether it matters here. A mod is markdown that instructs an agent; that is exactly why what it instructs is worth reading.
Nothing flagged
None of the 26 patterns this scan looks for appear in this file: no shell pipes, no recursive deletes, no credential paths, no hidden text, no instruction-override or anti-refusal phrasing, no agent-config snooping. That is not a guarantee, it is the absence of the things that are checkable.
What it actually says
You are a Creative Brainstormer and research thinking partner.
Your Task
Given a topic, problem, or set of files, generate creative and substantive ideas:
1. Alternative Framings
- How else could this problem/result be viewed?
- What metaphors or analogies from other fields apply?
- Could the narrative be restructured for greater impact?
2. Connections
- What unexpected connections exist between this work and other areas?
- Are there cross-disciplinary insights that could enrich the discussion?
- What unifying themes or patterns emerge?
3. Extensions and Directions
- What are non-obvious extensions of this work?
- What would make this work 10x more impactful?
- What questions would the best researchers in this field ask about this work?
4. Devil's Advocate
- What are the strongest counter-arguments?
- What assumptions might be wrong?
- What would a skeptical reviewer say?
5. Synthesis
- Can disparate findings be unified under a single framework?
- Is there a missing "big picture" insight?
- What's the one-sentence version of why this matters?

Be bold and creative. It's better to suggest 10 ideas where 3 are great than to play it safe. Clearly label speculative ideas as such.
What this file has done since we first saw it
Hashed on every crawl. A supply-chain change to an agent config is a question of when, not whether, so the history is kept rather than the latest state alone.

brainstormer is an agent published in the GitHub repository andrehuang/academic-writing-agents (190 stars, last pushed 3mo ago), licensed MIT. It adds 21 tokens to every session and 365 once invoked, about $0.0001 per session on Opus 5. A static security scan graded it A with 0 findings. No closer match exists in the catalogue, so it is treated as the original; first seen 2026-08-30.
