Getting it into your agent
One page per mod, every tool's command on it. A separate URL per tool would split the same page into five that compete with each other.

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.
| Model | Per session | Once invoked |
|---|---|---|
| Fable 5 | $0.00025 | $0.02560 |
| Opus 5 | $0.00013 | $0.01280 |
| Sonnet 5 | $0.00005 | $0.00512 |
| Haiku 4.5 | $0.00003 | $0.00256 |
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 5d 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.
How it starts
The opening of the file, as written. The whole thing — 168 lines — stays where its author put it; the contents beside it link to each section on GitHub.
brainstorm — Explore Before Planning
Runtime syntax: invoke the plugin copy through the active runtime's owner-qualified skill selector; use a bare selector only when intentionally selecting a user-tier copy (a separately installed personal copy; Genie no longer seeds this tier). Cross-skill prose below uses bare names as portable semantic routes; the orchestrator resolves the selector for the active runtime.
Collaborate on fuzzy ideas until they are concrete enough for wish.
When to Use
- User has an idea but unclear scope or approach
- Requirements are ambiguous and need interactive refinement
- User explicitly invokes
brainstorm
All artifacts live in .genie/ within the shared worktree. When spawned as a native subagent, the dispatcher curates seed context (file path + extracted section) into your prompt — use it directly; do not re-read what was already provided.
Flow
- Read context: scan relevant code, docs, conventions. Check the canonical
.genie/INDEX.mdfor an existing entry matching this slug/topic — seed from it if found. If a legacy flat brainstorm jar (the pre-INDEX.mdsingle-file index some repos still carry under.genie/) exists, migrate it first (see Index). - Init persistence: create
.genie/brainstorms/<slug>/DRAFT.mdimmediately; create.genie/INDEX.mdif missing (see Index). - Scope-size check: if the request spans multiple independent subsystems, decompose before refining (see Scope Size).
- Refine: fill WRS dimensions. Ask only what an unfilled dimension needs — when the request or context already settles a dimension, mark it filled and move on; never re-litigate decisions the user already made. Prefer concrete options over open questions.
- Show the WRS bar after every exchange; persist DRAFT.md whenever WRS changes.
- Pass the Simplicity Gate: establish the simplest complete approach before considering more machinery. Reject speculative complexity or defer it behind a measurable trigger (see Simplicity Gate).
- Propose approaches: 2-3 options with trade-offs, applying Design for Isolation. Recommend one and proceed when the choice follows from the request.
- Crystallize when WRS = 100 (see Crystallize).
What ships with it

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 skill published in the GitHub repository automagik-dev/genie (334 stars, last pushed 2d ago), licensed MIT. It adds 25 tokens to every session and 2,560 once invoked, about $0.0001 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 2026-08-30.
