autonomous-workshop: Skill for Claude Code

.claude/skills/brainstorm-trend/SKILL.md

brainstorm-trend is a skill for Claude Code from autonomous-ai/autonomous-workshop. It costs 85 tokens per session (2,536 once invoked), scanned A, original, Apache-2.0.

A guided workshop for inventing a motion toy from a current trend. It compares six toy ideas, selects one, develops it, and passes it to the building stage.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it to research dated trend evidence, generate and judge toy concepts, define the winning design, and prepare it for construction.
Why use it?
It turns a broad trend into one original toy concept while filtering out ideas that cannot be made or do not fit the brief.

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-trend 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 yesterday.

The scan reads SKILL.md. This mod also ships 10 executable files (scripts/blind_packets.py, scripts/draw_personalities.py, scripts/gate_contract.py, …), listed below but not scanned — reading those needs a real analyzer, not pattern matching.

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 — 199 lines — stays where its author put it; the contents beside it link to each section on GitHub.

Brainstorm a toy from a Trend

This skill runs a contest: six designers, each a personality drawn from personalities.json, three leaning on mechanism and three on form, invent six different toys from one Trend; a gate removes drafts that cannot go forward; blind judges compare every pair; the winner is finished through design-a-toy and handed to build-a-toy. The vocabulary is CONTEXT.md's: Trend, Trend Hook, Signature Motion, Design Contract, Interface.

Every toy is a motion toy: its play centres on one Signature Motion made by a coupled Interface (a crank that flaps wings, a pull that walks legs, a spring that pops). Board games, puzzle games and toys whose only motion is decorative are out of scope.

Every toy is inspired by its Trend and owns its expression: the Trend reaches the toy through its Trend Hook, never through the Trend owners' names, characters, logos or trade dress.

Python here is deterministic tooling only. You, the orchestrator, do every judgement; subagents do the designing and the judging. Run every script with uv run python from the repository root, so gate_contract.py can import workshop.

The scripts live in .claude/skills/brainstorm-trend/scripts/:

Script Does
run_log.py check-trends, rank-trends, start, append: the run's run.json
draw_personalities.py the seeded draw and its replacements
generate_image.py one image via OpenRouter, reading .env
gate_contract.py format limits, the three prose sections, a coupled Interface
blind_packets.py the judges' A/B packets, refusing a named personality
round_robin.py schedule and score

Log every step as it happens with run_log.py append; the step names and fields are in schemas/run.schema.json. run.json never holds a credential: never read OPENROUTER_API_KEY yourself and never pass it to a subagent.

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.
