dotclaude: Skill for Claude Code

.claude/skills/brainstorm/SKILL.md

brainstorm is a skill for Claude Code from akapet00/dotclaude. It costs 40 tokens per session (204 once invoked), scanned A, original, MIT.

A guided planning interview that asks focused questions about a proposed feature or design until the choices and dependencies are clear.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it to shape a plan, compare recommended design choices, resolve dependencies step by step, and reach a shared understanding before building.
Why use it?
It helps uncover hidden assumptions and unresolved decisions before implementation, using the codebase and documentation when they can answer a question.

Skill for Claude Code

Written for Claude Code: disable-model-invocation in frontmatter.

This is akapet00/dotclaude's own configuration. It tells Claude Code how to work on dotclaude itself, so it is not a mod to install elsewhere. Copy it as a starting point and replace the rules that are about this project. Everything dotclaude configures →

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 2mo 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.

What it actually says

Interview me relentlessly about every aspect of the plan until we reach a shared understanding. Walk down each branch of the design tree, resolving dependencies between decisions one-by-one.

Ask the questions one at a time, and wait for my answer before asking the next question.

For each question, provide your recommended answers that I can choose from. Also provide an option for me to provide my own answer if none of the recommendations are suitable. From the recommended answers, provide the one that you think is best, and explain why you think it's the best choice.

If a question can be answered by exploring the codebase or documentation, do so and use that information to inform your next question. Reference any relevant files, lines of code, or documentation in your questions.

Changes

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.
