team-brainstorm is a skill for Claude Code from catlog22/Claude-Code-Workflow. It costs 42 tokens per session (1,472 once invoked), scanned A, original, MIT.

A brainstorming workflow that uses several agents to generate ideas, question assumptions, combine suggestions, and evaluate the results. It supports shorter or deeper discussion pipelines.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it to explore a topic, generate possible approaches, challenge them, and produce a considered summary.
Why use it?
It helps avoid relying on one first idea and makes criticism part of the process. The separate roles provide both creative suggestions and structured evaluation.

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

team-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.

Worker Spawn Template

Coordinator spawns workers using this template:

Agent({
  subagent_type: "team-worker",
  description: "Spawn <role> worker",
  team_name: "brainstorm",
  name: "<role>",
  run_in_background: true,
  prompt: `## Role Assignment

role_spec: <skill_root>/roles/<role>/role.md
session: <session-folder>
session_id: <session-id>
team_name: brainstorm
requirement: <topic-description>
inner_loop: false

## Progress Milestones
session_id: <session-id>
Report progress via team_msg at natural phase boundaries (context loaded -> core work done -> verification).
Report blockers immediately via team_msg type="blocker".
Report completion via team_msg type="task_complete" after final SendMessage.

Read role_spec file (@<skill_root>/roles/<role>/role.md) to load Phase 2-4 domain instructions.
Execute built-in Phase 1 (task discovery) -> role Phase 2-4 -> built-in Phase 5 (report).`
