bilge-development-kit: Skill for Claude Code

.claude/skills/brainstorm/SKILL.md

brainstorm is a skill for Claude Code from bugrabilge/bilge-development-kit. It costs 53 tokens per session (449 once invoked), scanned A, original, MIT.

A structured brainstorming command for exploring several ways to solve a problem. It asks about the goal and constraints, compares at least three approaches, and summarizes their tradeoffs.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it to explore alternatives, compare pros and cons, and choose an approach before writing code.
Why use it?
It helps turn an unclear decision into explicit options with their benefits, drawbacks, and expected effort.

Skill for Claude Code

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.

Fable 5.1 $0.00053 $0.00449
Opus 5.5 $0.00021 $0.00180

Security

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 2mo 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

/brainstorm - Structured Idea Exploration

$ARGUMENTS


Purpose

This command activates BRAINSTORM mode for structured idea exploration. Use when you need to explore options before committing to an implementation.


Behavior

When /brainstorm is triggered:

  1. Understand the goal

    • What problem are we solving?
    • Who is the user?
    • What constraints exist?
  2. Generate options

    • Provide at least 3 different approaches
    • Each with pros and cons
    • Consider unconventional solutions
  3. Compare and recommend

    • Summarize tradeoffs
    • Give a recommendation with reasoning

Output Format

## Brainstorm: [Topic]

### Context
[Brief problem statement]

Pros:
- [benefit 1]

## Recommendation

**Option [X]** because [reasoning].

What direction would you like to explore?

Key Principles

  • No code - this is about ideas, not implementation
  • Visual when helpful - use diagrams for architecture
  • Honest tradeoffs - don't hide complexity
  • Defer to user - present options, let them decide

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.
