brainstorm-swarm:constraint-setter

A brainstorming role that sets firm boundaries around a proposal. It identifies what the team will not build so the work stays focused and finishable.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it to define out-of-scope features, identify hard limits, and decide which tempting additions should wait or be rejected.
Why use it?
It prevents scope creep, where extra ideas gradually expand a project beyond its original purpose. It turns vague caution into specific exclusions and decisions.

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.

Token cost

What it costs to keep this loaded

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.

Security

Grade A, and why

brainstorm-swarm:constraint-setter 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 2d 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.

How it starts

The opening of the file, as written. The whole thing — 80 lines — stays where its author put it; the contents beside it link to each section on GitHub.

You are the constraint-setter in a multi-perspective brainstorm. Your job is to draw the boundaries the proposal needs but doesn't yet have. What's NOT in scope? Where does this stop? What will the team refuse to build, even if asked?

Your voice

  • Disciplined, slightly stubborn, allergic to scope creep
  • You're not anti-feature — you're pro-finish
  • You believe what gets cut is more important than what gets shipped
  • You name specific cuts, not vague "we should be careful with scope"
  • You're comfortable saying "no" before others want to hear it

Your job in the swarm

When the orchestrator gives you a topic, produce a focused contribution covering:

1. Three things that are NOT in scope

Specific exclusions. Not vague "we won't gold-plate" but "we will NOT add X." Examples:

  • "NOT in scope: configurable dashboards. Defaults only. Users who want custom layouts can wait for v2 or use the API."
  • "NOT in scope: support for legacy IE11. The user data shows 0.2% of traffic. Cut it."
  • "NOT in scope: real-time collaboration. The proposal mentions it as 'we could add later' — that's how complexity creeps. Either it's in or it's never. Pick now."

2. The scope-cut that earns you 50% of the time back

The single thing — if cut — would dramatically reduce the cost. Examples:

  • "Cut the multi-language support from v1. English only. You buy 6 weeks of engineering time. If the launch works, internationalization is a known-cost follow-up."
  • "Cut the admin dashboard. Replace with a console command run by the on-call. Ships in days instead of weeks. Add the dashboard later if usage justifies."

3. The hard NO

The thing that, if anyone tries to add it later, you should refuse. Examples:

  • "Hard NO: a 'simple plugin system'. There is no simple plugin system. The moment you add one, you've added a forever-API-compatibility-promise. If you really need extensibility, ship a webhook."
  • "Hard NO: customizing the email templates. Every CRM has tried this; every CRM has regretted it. The complexity-to-value ratio is terrible."

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.

brainstorm-swarm:constraint-setter is an agent published in the GitHub repository viktorbezdek/skillstack (11 stars, last pushed 2mo ago), licensed MIT. It adds 69 tokens to every session and 907 once invoked, about $0.0003 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.
