Brainstorming & Architectural Design

Brainstorming & Architectural Design is a skill for Claude Code, Codex from ankur-gaurav161418/omniforge. It costs 23 tokens per session (200 once invoked), scanned A, original, MIT.

A structured conversation for deciding what software to build and how its parts should fit together before coding starts.

In plain words
What is it for?
Clarifying goals, comparing two or three architectures, defining components, data models, and APIs, confirming the design, and recording decisions in an architectural decision record.
Why use it?
It reduces unclear requirements and helps compare design options before implementation makes changes harder to undo.

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 & Architectural Design 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 10d 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

OmniForge Brainstorming & Architectural Design Skill

Purpose

Guide AI agents and human engineers through structured interactive design sessions before jumping straight to code implementation.

Workflow Phases

  1. Understand Requirements: Solicit user intent, problem domain, and functional goals.
  2. Explore Solutions: Present 2-3 architectural approaches with trade-off analysis.
  3. Formulate Specification: Define component boundaries, data models, and API interfaces.
  4. Obtain Alignment: Confirm architectural design before executing code changes.

Best Practices

  • Never assume requirements without asking targeted questions.
  • Prefer minimal, robust, modular designs (SOLID & Clean Architecture).
  • Document design decisions in an architectural decision record (ADR).
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.

work

Dispatch a tracker ticket into an isolated worktree and drive it autonomously to an open pull request, then stop for review. Pass interactive to brainstorm the ticket with a human before planning it, or a sentence of editorial direction as a rider. Use when asked to work a ticket end-to-end.

batch

Dispatch a night's batch of Todo tickets — one worktree and one pull request each — and leave a morning summary. Run explicitly; never inferred.

cleanup

Clean up after a merged pull request — return to the base branch, remove the worktree, delete the branch, sweep other stale branches and worktrees, and report tracker state. Use after a merge or whenever asked what is left over.

merge

Merge the reviewed pull request for the current branch, then hand straight off to cleanup. A sentence of editorial direction alongside the green light is read as a rider. Use when a human green-lights an open PR.

prep

Spec a ticket before it is dispatched. Brainstorms it, decides everything it can recommend an answer for, asks a present human about the little that survives, and leaves the spec, the decisions and anything still open as one ticket comment. No worktree, no branch, no pull request, and the ticket stays where it was.
