brainstorming-lore

brainstorming-lore is a skill for Claude Code, Codex from andresanemic/lore-plugin. It costs 127 tokens per session (3,408 once invoked), scanned A, original, MIT.

A design workflow for changing Lore-owned materials, such as project rules, structures, routing contracts, or related skills. Lore is a system for storing criteria that guide future decisions.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it when designing or materially changing a Lore body, module, project scaffold, bot, or Lore-related process.
Why use it?
Changes to written rules can cause problems later without producing an obvious error. This workflow makes existing knowledge and unresolved choices visible before changes are approved.

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

brainstorming-lore 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 today.

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.

brainstorming-lore — Design changes to the Lore system

Changing the Lore is not like changing code. Code tells you when you broke it; a body of criteria accepts a bad addition silently and keeps reading perfectly well — the cost arrives months later, in a decision that goes the wrong way for a reason nobody can trace back.

So this one slows down on purpose. brainstorming-lore is the bridge between accumulated criterion and a change to the Lore system itself. It does not begin from a blank prompt: it discovers what this Entre already knows, makes the unresolved choices visible, and obtains approval before changing a Lore-owned artifact.

Provenance. Adapted by arbitration from the MIT-licensed brainstorming skill in Superpowers, copyright © 2025 Jesse Vincent. Lore keeps context-first dialogue, one question at a time, alternatives, proportional design, and explicit approval. It rejects the source's software-only taxonomy, universal activation, forced spec path, automatic commit, and required writing-plans handoff. See Where the source loses below.

Trigger boundary

Invoke this skill only when the user is asking to design what a Lore-owned artifact should contain or how the Lore system should operate, not merely because the request involves ideas or creative work.

Typical triggers:

  • create an area, a Lore-governed project scaffold, or a bot through its owner skill;
  • design or materially restructure lore/, FASES.md, a routing contract, or a Lore transmutation;
  • create or materially modify a Lore Plugin skill;
  • a Lore owner skill explicitly requires brainstorming-lore before its threshold.

Second case: a deliverable governed by Lore, not owned by it — 2.3.0

The boundary above asks who owns the artifact, and that question has a blind spot. A batch of posts, a report, a lesson plan or a campaign is not a Lore-owned artifact — and yet the whole design may consist of deciding how to run criteria that is already written: which strategy, which format, which register, which visual family, what the area's process demands next.

brainstorming-lore is a skill published in the GitHub repository andresanemic/lore-plugin (6 stars, last pushed 2d ago), licensed MIT. It adds 127 tokens to every session and 3,408 once invoked, about $0.0006 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.
