brainstorm-issue

A command that helps explore ways to solve a GitHub issue, a tracked task or bug in a software project. It helps clarify requirements and compare possible implementation approaches.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it to brainstorm solutions, discuss design choices, and decide how an issue could be implemented.
Why use it?
It reduces uncertainty before work begins by turning a broad issue into clearer requirements and possible designs.

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 B, and why

brainstorm-issue scanned grade B with 1 finding 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.

.claude/, .codex/, .gemini/ hold keys, settings and other credentials a mod has no legitimate need for.

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-issue is a command published in the GitHub repository laird/agents (5 stars, last pushed 2d ago), with no licence file. It costs nothing until one of its globs matches a file; then it loads 3,273 tokens. A static security scan graded it B with 1 finding (reads agent configuration directories). No closer match exists in the catalogue, so it is treated as the original; first seen 2026-08-31.
