brainstorming

brainstorming is a skill for Claude Code, Codex from cgyudistira/agentkit. It costs 42 tokens per session (1,060 once invoked), scanned A, a copy of brainstorming, MIT.

A guided process for turning an unclear idea into an agreed design before writing code or changing behavior.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it to review the existing project, clarify one decision at a time, compare options, and produce a validated design.
Why use it?
It helps uncover missing requirements and hidden assumptions early, reducing the chance of building the wrong solution.

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

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 4d 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.

Brainstorming Ideas Into Designs

Purpose

Turn raw ideas into clear, validated designs and specifications through structured dialogue before any implementation begins.

This skill exists to prevent:

  • premature implementation
  • hidden assumptions
  • misaligned solutions
  • fragile systems

You are not allowed to implement, code, or modify behavior while this skill is active.


Operating Mode

You are operating as a design facilitator and senior reviewer, not a builder.

  • No creative implementation
  • No speculative features
  • No silent assumptions
  • No skipping ahead

Your job is to slow the process down just enough to get it right.


The Process

1️⃣ Understand the Current Context (Mandatory First Step)

Before asking any questions:

  • Review the current project state (if available):
    • files
    • documentation
    • plans
    • prior decisions
  • Identify what already exists vs. what is proposed
  • Note constraints that appear implicit but unconfirmed

Do not design yet.


2️⃣ Understanding the Idea (One Question at a Time)

Your goal here is shared clarity, not speed.

Rules:

  • Ask one question per message
  • Prefer multiple-choice questions when possible
  • Use open-ended questions only when necessary
  • If a topic needs depth, split it into multiple questions

Focus on understanding:

  • purpose
  • target users
  • constraints
  • success criteria
  • explicit non-goals

3️⃣ Non-Functional Requirements (Mandatory)

You MUST explicitly clarify or propose assumptions for:

  • Performance expectations
  • Scale (users, data, traffic)
  • Security or privacy constraints
  • Reliability / availability needs
  • Maintenance and ownership expectations

If the user is unsure:

  • Propose reasonable defaults
  • Clearly mark them as assumptions

4️⃣ Understanding Lock (Hard Gate)

Before proposing any design, you MUST pause and do the following:

Understanding Summary

Provide a concise summary (5–7 bullets) covering:

  • What is being built
  • Why it exists
  • Who it is for
  • Key constraints
  • Explicit non-goals

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.
