brainstorm

brainstorm is a command for Claude Code from Marazii/research-co-pilot. It costs 12 tokens per session (231 once invoked), scanned A, original, MIT.

A command for generating and testing research ideas. It helps turn an initial topic, intuition, or constraint into possible research questions and project outlines.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it to map a research area, generate 15–25 ideas, score them, and expand the best three with expected findings, risks, and follow-up questions.
Why use it?
It reduces the chance of settling on the first idea too early. Ideas are compared for interest, answerability, originality, and feasibility before the strongest ones are developed further.

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 7d 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

Invoke the research-brainstorm skill from the research-co-pilot plugin and execute its full workflow.

The skill file is at skills/research-brainstorm/SKILL.md relative to this plugin. Read it and follow it precisely — including:

  • Phase 1: Locate the user (starting point, stage, constraints).
  • Phase 2: Map the territory briefly.
  • Phase 3: Generate 15-25 ideas using question-form variations, cross-field grafts, contrarian moves.
  • Phase 4: Score on interesting / answerable / novel / feasible.
  • Phase 5: Sharpen the top 3 into full sketches with predicted findings, risks, follow-ups.
  • Phase 6: Output brainstorm_<topic>.md.

Resist converging too early. Don't filter for politeness.

User input: $ARGUMENTS

If no starting point was given, ask for a topic, intuition, or constraint to anchor the brainstorm.

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.
