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.

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.
| Model | Per session | Once invoked |
|---|---|---|
| Fable 5.1 | $0.00039 | $0.01448 |
| Opus 5 | $0.00019 | $0.00724 |
| Sonnet 5 | $0.00008 | $0.00290 |
| Haiku 4.5 | $0.00004 | $0.00145 |
Grade A, and why
brainstorming 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.
How it starts
The opening of the file, as written. The whole thing — 273 lines — stays where its author put it; the contents beside it link to each section on GitHub.
Brainstorming
Explore ideas collaboratively before committing to an approach.
Purpose
Jumping from vague ideas to implementation wastes effort. This skill provides structured exploration to refine concepts, surface constraints, and evaluate approaches before committing to research or planning. Good brainstorming prevents building the wrong thing.
When to Use
Use brainstorming when:
- Requirements are vague or incomplete
- Multiple valid approaches exist
- The problem space is unfamiliar
- Trade-offs need explicit discussion
- Creative design decisions are required
Skip brainstorming when:
- Requirements are clear and specific
- The approach is obvious
- This is a bug fix with known cause
- This is routine maintenance
The Three Phases
Phase 1: Understanding the Idea
Goal: Clarify what the user wants to accomplish.
Ask questions one at a time using AskUserQuestion:
-
What problem are you solving?
- The underlying need, not the proposed solution
- Why does this matter?
-
Who is this for?
- End users, developers, operators?
- What do they need?
-
What does success look like?
- How will you know it works?
- What would make this valuable?
-
What constraints exist?
- Technical limitations
- Time constraints
- Compatibility requirements
-
What have you considered?
- Initial ideas or preferences
- Approaches to avoid
- Prior art to reference
Prefer multiple-choice questions when possible. Open-ended is fine for exploration, but specific choices accelerate understanding.
Phase 2: Exploring Approaches
Goal: Present options with trade-offs.
After understanding the idea, present 2-3 approaches:
## Approach A: [Name]
[2-3 sentences describing the approach]
**Pros**: [Key advantages]
**Cons**: [Key disadvantages]
**Best when**: [Situations where this shines]
## Approach B: [Name]
[2-3 sentences describing the approach]
**Pros**: [Key advantages]
**Cons**: [Key disadvantages]
**Best when**: [Situations where this shines]
## Approach C: [Name] (if applicable)
...
## Recommendation
[Which approach and why, based on stated constraints]
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.
- 10d ago First seen · 273 lines · 39 tokens per session scan A 9d93d4cf5c1a
brainstorming is a skill published in the GitHub repository bostonaholic/rpikit (20 stars, last pushed 3d ago), licensed MIT. It adds 39 tokens to every session and 1,448 once invoked, about $0.0002 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.
