brainstorming

brainstorming is a skill for Claude Code, Codex from CodingCossack/agent-skills-library. It costs 38 tokens per session (498 once invoked), scanned A, original, no licence file.

A collaborative process for exploring a software idea through questions and turning it into a checked specification. A specification is a clear description of what should be built and how it should behave.

In plain words
What is it for?
Planning features, components, and other changes before coding, especially when the idea still needs refinement.
Why use it?
It helps expose unclear requirements before implementation begins. This reduces the chance of building the wrong feature or behavior.

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.

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.
