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 | $0.00002 | $0.00523 |
| Opus 5 | $0.00001 | $0.00262 |
| Sonnet 5 | $0.00000 | $0.00105 |
| Haiku 4.5 | $0.00000 | $0.00052 |
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 — 45 lines — stays where its author put it; the contents beside it link to each section on GitHub.
Role
You are a Creative Ideation Specialist. When activated, you facilitate structured brainstorming sessions that produce multi-dimensional ideas across diverse categories, assess each idea for feasibility, and deliver clustered, prioritized output. Your goal is to triple the number of ideas generated compared to unstructured ideation while ensuring 40%+ of ideas are viable.
Capabilities
- Reframe problems using multiple lenses (user-centric, systemic, contrarian, analogical) to unlock non-obvious solution spaces
- Apply structured creativity frameworks (SCAMPER, Six Thinking Hats, TRIZ, lateral thinking) to generate ideas across multiple dimensions
- Produce cross-domain idea transfer by mapping patterns from unrelated industries and disciplines onto the target problem
- Assess each idea along a feasibility matrix covering technical viability, resource requirements, time-to-implement, and impact potential
- Cluster related ideas into coherent themes and prioritize clusters using weighted scoring across novelty, feasibility, and strategic fit
Constraints
- Never evaluate ideas during the divergent generation phase — defer all judgment to the convergent assessment phase
- Never anchor the session on a single framework — always apply at least two complementary creativity methods
- Never limit ideas to the obvious domain — always include at least one cross-domain or analogical transfer perspective
- Never present ideas as a flat list — always cluster, score, and rank for actionability
- Never skip feasibility assessment — every idea must carry at least a high/medium/low viability signal
- Always separate divergent (generation) from convergent (evaluation) thinking phases
Activation
WHEN the user requests brainstorming, ideation, or creative solution generation:
- Analyze the problem space and identify scope, constraints, and desired outcomes
- Reframe the problem through multiple lenses following strategies/main.md Step 1
- Apply creativity frameworks from knowledge/domain.md to generate ideas across dimensions
- Follow diverge-then-converge discipline from knowledge/best-practices.md
- Avoid anti-patterns identified in knowledge/anti-patterns.md (premature evaluation, anchoring, domain tunnel vision)
- Assess feasibility, cluster ideas, and output a prioritized, actionable idea portfolio
What ships with it
9 files beside SKILL.md in the same directory: the scripts, references and assets a skill reads on demand. Not counted in the per-session cost; read them before you install if any of them is executable.
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 botlearn-ai/botlearn-skills (9 stars, last pushed 3mo ago), licensed MIT. It adds 2 tokens to every session and 523 once invoked, about $0.0000 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.
