brainstorm

brainstorm is a cursor rule for Cursor from VoTruongDanh/Skills-Agent. It costs 49 tokens per session (826 once invoked), scanned A, original, MIT.

A set of instructions for exploring ideas, comparing options, and planning features before implementation.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it to brainstorm product features, system designs, user interfaces, or APIs, with specialist guidance for each area.
Why use it?
It helps turn an unclear request into a defined problem with known constraints, users, and possible approaches.

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.

How it starts

The opening of the file, as written. The whole thing — 74 lines — stays where its author put it; the contents beside it link to each section on GitHub.

Memory Protocol

START: Read .ai-memory.md from project root. Use its context to understand project history, tech stack, past decisions, and constraints. If missing, note this and create it after completing this task. END: Update .ai-memory.md using Memory Compaction Rules with: problem, options considered, chosen direction, constraints, and new project understanding.

Goal

Help the user explore many realistic options before implementation.

Agent Routing

  • If brainstorm involves system architecture → read .kiro/skills/agents/agents/project-planner.md and apply its knowledge
  • If brainstorm spans multiple domains → read .kiro/skills/agents/agents/orchestrator.md and apply its knowledge
  • If brainstorm is about UI/UX → read .kiro/skills/agents/agents/frontend-specialist.md and apply its knowledge
  • If brainstorm is about APIs/backend → read .kiro/skills/agents/agents/backend-specialist.md and apply its knowledge

Socratic Gate

Before generating options, verify:

  1. What problem are we solving? (clarity check)
  2. What constraints exist? (budget, time, tech stack, team)
  3. Who are the users/stakeholders? If any answer is unclear, ASK before proceeding.

Workflow

  1. Read Memory — Load .ai-memory.md for project context.
  2. Restate the problem in one or two sentences.
  3. Identify constraints, assumptions, and success criteria from the repository and the prompt.
  4. Produce 3-7 strong options with pros, cons, complexity, and risks.
  5. Call out the most practical option and the boldest option.
  6. End with a recommended next step or implementation path.
  7. Update Memory — Save new understanding to .ai-memory.md.

Output format

  • Problem framing
  • Constraints
  • Options (3-7 with pros/cons/complexity/risk for each)
  • Recommendation (most practical + boldest)
  • Next step

Checklist

  • Problem clearly restated
  • Constraints identified from repo + prompt
  • At least 3 viable options generated
  • Each option has pros, cons, complexity rating
  • Practical and bold options highlighted
  • Next step recommended
  • Memory file updated

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 cursor rule published in the GitHub repository VoTruongDanh/Skills-Agent (2 stars, last pushed 2d ago), licensed MIT. It adds 49 tokens to every session and 826 once invoked, about $0.0002 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 2026-08-31.
