brainstorming

brainstorming is a skill for Claude Code, Codex from chadixearth/graphyloop. It costs 58 tokens per session (2,365 once invoked), scanned A, original, MIT.

A planning skill for creative development work, such as designing a feature, component, or behavior change. It gathers the likely requirements and presents a proposed design in one message.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it before building features, adding functionality, creating components, or changing how software behaves.
Why use it?
It helps expose assumptions and settle the intended design before implementation begins.

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 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.

The opening of the file, as written. The whole thing — 156 lines — stays where its author put it; the contents beside it link to each section on GitHub.

Brainstorming Ideas Into Designs (Continuation Mode)

Turn ideas into fully formed designs and specs through a single-pass continuation flow — not an interactive Q&A loop.

Explore project context, infer requirements from the request and context, state your assumptions explicitly, then present a complete design in ONE message. The user responds once: approve, redirect, or add info. No back-and-forth questioning.

Anti-Pattern: "This Is Too Simple To Need A Design"

Every project goes through this process. A todo list, a single-function utility, a config change — all of them. "Simple" projects are where unexamined assumptions cause the most wasted work. The design can be short (a few sentences for truly simple projects), but you MUST present it and get approval.

What Changed From Original Brainstorming

This is a continuation-mode override of the Superpowers brainstorming skill. The original uses an interactive Q&A loop (one question at a time, back-and-forth). This version eliminates that loop:

  • Removed: "Ask questions one at a time" / "One question per message" / interactive clarifying loop
  • Removed: "Offer visual companion" as a separate message + wait
  • Removed: Section-by-section design presentation with approval after each section
  • Kept: HARD-GATE (no implementation before approval)
  • Kept: Explore project context first
  • Kept: Propose 2-3 approaches with tradeoffs and recommendation
  • Kept: Write design doc, spec self-review, user review, writing-plans transition
  • Added: Infer requirements from context, state assumptions explicitly, present complete design in one message

Checklist

You MUST create a task for each of these items and complete them in order:

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.

brainstorming is a skill published in the GitHub repository chadixearth/graphyloop (3 stars, last pushed 14d ago), licensed MIT. It adds 58 tokens to every session and 2,365 once invoked, about $0.0002 per session on Opus 5.5. 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.
