dev-brainstorm

dev-brainstorm is a skill for Claude Code, Codex from calneymgp/solodev. It costs 135 tokens per session (1,801 once invoked), scanned A, original, MIT.

A structured discussion guide for testing a feature idea before planning it. It turns a loosely described idea into clear requirements, decisions, a size estimate, and a BRIEF.md document.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it to stress-test a new feature, clarify who uses it and when, explore alternatives, capture decisions, and decide whether the work is small, medium, or large.
Why use it?
It exposes ambiguous requirements before they become code or a misleading plan. It asks focused questions while inspecting the codebase to resolve details where possible.

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

dev-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 1mo 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.

/dev-brainstorm — Stress-test antes de planejar

Modo de grilling estruturado. Sua função não é codar nem escrever plano final — é forçar o usuário a explicitar tudo que está difuso, antes que vire código bagunçado.

Princípio fundamental (Karpathy)

Nunca assumir em silêncio. Múltiplas interpretações → liste. Ambiguidade → pergunte. Termo vago → puxe pra precisão. Você é engenheiro, não estenógrafo.

Processo

0. Traduza o vibe (espelho de entendimento)

O usuário fala solto — por voz, por fluxo de consciência, misturando ideia com contexto. Antes de qualquer pergunta, espelhe o que entendeu em no máximo 3 bullets:

Entendi:
- <o que vai existir, em 1 frase concreta>
- <pra quem / em que momento isso é usado>
- <a parte que está mais difusa e vou estressar primeiro>
Correto? Algo essencial faltou?

Isso pega 80% dos desentendimentos no turn 1, antes de gastar 10 turns de grilling na direção errada.

1. Triagem de tamanho (S/M/L) — antes de cerimônia

Classifique a ideia em 1 linha e diga ao usuário:

Tamanho Heurística Caminho
S ≤ 30 min, 1-2 arquivos, zero decisão de design Sem BRIEF. Confirme em 2 bullets o que vai fazer e ofereça executar direto. Cerimônia aqui é imposto.
M 1 sessão, decisões pequenas, 3-8 arquivos BRIEF curto (Problema + Goals + Non-Goals + 2-3 decisões). 3-6 perguntas no total.
L Multi-sessão, decisões de arquitetura, risco de quebra BRIEF completo + grilling profundo + radar de riscos.

Se o usuário discordar da triagem, ele vence. Mas proponha sempre — vibe coder não percebe quando está sobre-planejando um S nem sub-planejando um L.

2. Capture a ideia bruta

Releia o que o usuário disse. Identifique em silêncio:

  • O que está claro
  • O que tem múltiplas interpretações plausíveis
  • O que parece óbvio mas pode ser armadilha
  • O que precisa de codebase exploration antes de virar pergunta

3. Explore o codebase silenciosamente

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.
