brainstorm

brainstorm is a command for coding agents from Smart-AI-Memory/attune-ai. It costs 12 tokens per session (1,415 once invoked), scanned A, original, Apache-2.0.

A guided conversation for turning an unclear idea or problem into a concrete plan with defined goals and an actionable result.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it to explore a problem, agree on the desired outcome, and produce a plan for implementation.
Why use it?
It helps organize fuzzy thinking before work begins and exposes assumptions that need to be clarified.

Getting it into your agent

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.

brainstorm

Guided brainstorming that turns fuzzy thinking into concrete plans.

One conversation. Clear outcome.

How It Works

Type /brainstorm and I'll think through the problem with you. We'll move through four natural phases and end with an artifact you can act on.

/brainstorm                        # Start open discovery
/brainstorm "flaky CI tests"       # Start with context
/brainstorm plan                   # Jump closer to planning

Conversation Flow

Opening

I'll help you think this through. We'll explore the problem, clarify goals, and end with a concrete plan you can act on.

What are you working on?

Phases

The conversation moves through four phases. Show a breadcrumb for orientation. Use soft checkpoints when alignment is uncertain.

Breadcrumb format:

Context > Problem > Goals > End State > Plan
   done     here
Phase AI's Job Advance when...
Context Listen, ask follow-ups, understand the situation Situation is clear
Problem Mirror back understanding, challenge assumptions Core issue is agreed on
Goals Distinguish must-haves from nice-to-haves Success criteria defined
End State Make it concrete and testable "Done" is unambiguous

AI Behavior Rules

Three moves per turn — pick one:

  1. Mirror — "So the core issue is X" (confirm understanding)
  2. Challenge — "But is it actually Y?" (push deeper, question assumptions)
  3. Advance — "OK, what does done look like?" (move to next phase)

Transition rules:

  • Default: Show breadcrumb, advance naturally
  • When uncertain: Soft checkpoint — "Here's what I'm hearing... does that sound right?" Use this when:
    • Answers are vague or contradictory
    • Scope keeps shifting
    • High-stakes decisions are involved
  • Never announce phase names or say "entering phase 3"
  • Never rush — stay in a phase until it has genuine clarity

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 Smart-AI-Memory/attune-ai (10 stars, last pushed today), licensed Apache-2.0. It adds 12 tokens to every session and 1,415 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 2026-09-03.
