brainstorm

An interactive requirements-discovery command that explores an idea through guided questions and records the resulting discussion.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it to explore concepts, assess feasibility, and prepare planning documents in projects that have the required companion plugin.
Why use it?
It turns unclear project ideas into clearer requirements and helps reveal missing assumptions before work begins.

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.

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 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 yesterday.

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

/cdf:brainstorm - Interactive Requirements Discovery

Triggers

  • Ambiguous project ideas requiring structured exploration
  • Requirements discovery and specification development needs
  • Concept validation and feasibility assessment requests
  • Cross-session brainstorming and iterative refinement scenarios

Context Trigger Pattern

/cdf:brainstorm [topic/idea] [--strategy systematic|agile|enterprise] [--depth shallow|normal|deep] [--parallel]

Usage: Type this pattern in the host conversation to activate brainstorming through the delegated host skill.

Delegation: compound-engineering

This command delegates to the compound-engineering:ce-brainstorm host skill.

Requires: the compound-engineering plugin. If it is not installed, stop and tell the user to install the compound-engineering plugin for their host (install commands are in the README) — do not improvise a replacement flow.

Flow: Invoke the compound-engineering:ce-brainstorm host skill, passing the user's arguments and any flags as context.

CDF constraints (bind on top of the skill):

  • Requirements documentation lands in docs/brainstorms/.
  • When the idea is ready for execution planning, hand off to /cdf:design, which delegates to compound-engineering:ce-plan.
Changes

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 is a command published in the GitHub repository drag88/claude-dev-framework (2 stars, last pushed 1mo ago), licensed MIT. It adds 11 tokens to every session and 284 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 2026-08-31.
