brainstorm

brainstorm is a command for Claude Code from phuryn/pm-skills. It costs 20 tokens per session (1,129 once invoked), scanned A, original, MIT.

A command for brainstorming product ideas or experiments from product manager, designer, and engineer viewpoints. It can be used for an existing product or for a new product concept.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it to generate feature concepts, design experiments to test assumptions, and explore new or existing products.
Why use it?
Ideas can be limited when considered from only one role or when teams mix up creating ideas with testing them. This separates those activities and brings several perspectives together.

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.

/brainstorm -- Multi-Perspective Ideation

Generate creative product ideas or experiment designs from three perspectives (PM, Designer, Engineer), tailored to whether you're working on an existing product or building something new.

Invocation

/brainstorm ideas existing Mobile banking app engagement
/brainstorm ideas new AI-powered meal planning for busy parents
/brainstorm experiments existing Onboarding flow redesign
/brainstorm experiments new Marketplace for freelance designers
/brainstorm                          # interactive mode — asks what you need

Workflow

Step 1: Determine Mode

Parse the arguments to identify two dimensions:

  1. What to brainstorm: ideas (feature concepts) or experiments (validation tests)
  2. Product stage: existing (continuous discovery) or new (initial discovery)

If either dimension is missing, ask the user. If both are missing, ask:

  • "Are you brainstorming ideas for what to build, or experiments to validate assumptions?"
  • "Is this for an existing product or a new product concept?"

Step 2: Gather Context

Ask the user for context. Be conversational — ask the most critical question first:

For existing products:

  • What is the product? Who are current users?
  • What opportunity area or problem space are you exploring?
  • Any constraints (technical debt, platform limitations, team capacity)?
  • What has been tried before?

For new products:

  • What is the product concept? What problem does it solve?
  • Who is the target user? What's their current alternative?
  • What stage are you at? (napkin sketch, validated problem, early prototype)
  • What are the riskiest assumptions?

Accept context from uploaded files (PRDs, research docs, strategy decks), pasted text, or conversation.

Step 3: Generate Output

If brainstorming ideas — apply the brainstorm-ideas-existing or brainstorm-ideas-new skill:

  • Generate ideas from three perspectives: Product Manager (user value, business impact), Designer (UX, delight, accessibility), Engineer (technical innovation, platform leverage, scalability)
  • For each idea: name, description, target user impact, feasibility assessment
  • Rank the top 5 ideas with rationale
  • Flag which ideas could be quick wins vs. strategic bets

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.
