fire-brainstorm

fire-brainstorm is a command for coding agents from ThierryN/fire-flow. It costs 7 tokens per session (2,343 once invoked), scanned A, original, MIT.

A guided brainstorming command for exploring a feature, architecture, or other problem before implementation. It can consider constraints, compare several viewpoints, ask or skip questions, and save the discussion.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it to explore implementation ideas, authentication designs, file-upload handling, database structures, or other technical topics before writing code.
Why use it?
Starting to code too early can hide requirements and lead to a poor design. A separate exploration step makes alternatives and decisions visible first.

Getting it into your agent

One page per mod, every tool's command on it. A separate URL per tool would split the same page into five that compete with each other.

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

fire-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 3d 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.

/fire-brainstorm

Explore ideas thoroughly before committing to implementation


Purpose

A dedicated ideation phase inspired by superpowers:brainstorming. Forces divergent thinking, explores alternatives, and documents decisions BEFORE writing code. Prevents premature implementation and ensures requirements are understood.


Arguments

arguments:
  topic:
    required: true
    type: string
    description: "What to brainstorm - feature, architecture, problem, etc."
    examples:
      - "/fire-brainstorm 'user authentication system'"
      - "/fire-brainstorm 'how to handle file uploads'"
      - "/fire-brainstorm 'database schema for orders'"

optional_flags:
  --constraints: "Comma-separated constraints to consider"
  --time-box: "Limit brainstorm duration (e.g., '15min')"
  --perspectives: "Number of alternative approaches to explore (default: 3)"
  --output: "Save brainstorm to file (default: .planning/brainstorms/)"
  --no-questions: "Skip clarifying questions, use assumptions"

Process

Step 1: Initialize Brainstorm Session

                      DOMINION FLOW ► BRAINSTORM SESSION
━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━

Topic: {topic}
Mode: Exploration (no code yet)

Step 2: Clarifying Questions (Unless --no-questions)

MANDATORY: Understand before exploring.

## Clarifying Questions

Before exploring solutions, I need to understand the problem space.

### Scope Questions
1. What is the primary user/use case for this?
2. What systems/components does this interact with?
3. Are there existing patterns in the codebase to follow?

### Constraint Questions
4. What are the non-negotiables (must-haves)?
5. What are known limitations (tech stack, budget, time)?
6. Are there security/compliance requirements?

### Context Questions
7. Has this been attempted before? What happened?
8. What does "success" look like?
9. Who are the stakeholders?

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.

fire-brainstorm is a command published in the GitHub repository ThierryN/fire-flow (77 stars, last pushed 21d ago), licensed MIT. It adds 7 tokens to every session and 2,343 once invoked, about $0.0000 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 2026-08-30.
