brainstorming

brainstorming is a skill for Claude Code from dev-toolings/superpowers-symfony. It costs 20 tokens per session (398 once invoked), scanned A, original, MIT.

A structured planning guide for Symfony, a PHP web framework. It helps explore requirements, choose project components, and plan architecture changes in checkpoints.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it when planning medium or complex Symfony changes, reviewing workflows, validating progress, and recording remaining risks.
Why use it?
It reduces the risk of making broad or poorly understood changes by examining project boundaries, existing patterns, and tradeoffs first.

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 23d 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 it actually says

Brainstorming (Symfony)

Use when

  • A feature request is still vague and the requirements are not settled.
  • Several designs are possible and the tradeoffs must be compared before choosing.
  • You need to know which Symfony components a feature touches (entities, handlers, API resources, security, async) before planning.
  • The decision must be made before a plan is written; once it is, hand off to writing-plans.

Default workflow

  1. Restate the goal in one sentence and list what is known, unknown and out of scope.
  2. Ask the open questions (users, data, permissions, failure cases) and note the answers.
  3. Map the feature onto Symfony components: entities, services and handlers, API resources, voters, messages.
  4. Propose two or three designs with their tradeoffs and recommend one.
  5. Record the chosen design, the rejected options and the open risks, then hand off to writing-plans.

Guardrails

  • Do not write code or a step-by-step plan here: brainstorming ends at a chosen design.
  • Prefer the patterns already present in the project over new ones.
  • Ask one question at a time instead of guessing a missing requirement.
  • Keep rejected options in the notes so the decision stays auditable.

Progressive disclosure

  • Use this file for execution posture and risk controls.
  • Open references when deep implementation details are needed.

Output contract

  • The goal, scope and answered questions.
  • The components involved and the recommended design with its tradeoffs.
  • Open risks, ready to feed writing-plans.

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.
