A collaborative requirements process that turns a vague product or feature idea into a clear specification with acceptance criteria. Acceptance criteria are the conditions that define when the work is done.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it for new products, features, designs, and multi-step projects when the requirements are not yet clear; it asks the CEO focused questions one at a time after reviewing the available context.

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

project-brainstorming 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 11d 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.

Project Brainstorming — Requirements Discovery Before Execution

Turn vague ideas into clear specs with acceptance criteria through collaborative dialogue with the CEO. Understand what to build before building it.

When to Use This Skill

USE brainstorming for:

  • New product/feature requests ("build X", "create Y", "design Z")
  • Multi-step projects that involve multiple team members
  • Ambiguous tasks where CEO intent needs clarification

SKIP brainstorming for:

  • Simple operational tasks ("check status", "send email", "look up info")
  • Urgent fixes ("the site is down", "fix this bug now")
  • Tasks where CEO gave explicit, detailed instructions with clear criteria
  • Follow-up tasks on existing projects where scope is already defined
  • CEO explicitly says "just do it" or "skip the questions"

Phase 1: Understand Context (no CEO interaction)

Before asking the CEO anything:

  1. Read existing project files if this is a follow-up
  2. Check what team members are available (use list_colleagues)
  3. Form your own understanding of the task

Phase 2: Ask Clarifying Questions (ONE AT A TIME)

Ask the CEO questions via dispatch_child(target_employee_id="00001", ...). The system preserves your conversation history — when CEO replies, you will see ALL prior CEO replies in your task context under [CEO REPLY] sections.

Rules:

  • One question per dispatch. Do NOT bundle multiple questions.
  • Prefer multiple choice when possible — easier for CEO to answer.
  • Max 3-4 questions — respect CEO's time. Stop when you have enough context.
  • Check your [CEO REPLY] sections — do NOT re-ask questions CEO already answered.

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.
