brainstorm

brainstorm is a command for Claude Code from sun2443/designer-skills. It costs 17 tokens per session (1,454 once invoked), scanned A, a copy of brainstorm, Apache-2.0.

A guided conversation for exploring a product idea, problem, or strategy question. It helps generate ideas, question assumptions, and record possible next steps and unanswered questions.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it to explore opportunities, test a product direction, apply common product-thinking methods, and clarify what to do next.
Why use it?
It gives structured pushback when thinking alone is not enough. It can also use connected research, specifications, decisions, and analytics when those sources are available.

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 13d 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 a product topic with a sharp, opinionated thinking partner. This is a conversation, not a deliverable — the goal is to push thinking further than the PM would get alone.

Workflow

1. Understand the Starting Point

The PM might bring any of these — identify which one and adapt:

  • A problem: "Our users drop off during onboarding" — start in problem exploration mode
  • A half-formed idea: "What if we added a marketplace?" — start in assumption testing mode
  • A broad question: "How should we think about AI in our product?" — start in strategy exploration mode
  • A constraint to work around: "We need to grow without adding headcount" — start in solution ideation mode
  • A vague instinct: "Something feels off about our pricing" — start in problem exploration mode

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.
