brainstorming

brainstorming is a skill for Codex from feiskyer/codex-settings. It costs 48 tokens per session (596 once invoked), scanned A, original, MIT.

A guided design conversation for turning an idea for a feature, component, or system into an agreed implementation plan.

In plain words
What is it for?
It helps inspect project context, ask focused questions, compare a few approaches, write a design document, and move an approved design into implementation.
Why use it?
It surfaces unclear requirements and design trade-offs before coding, reducing the chance of building the wrong thing.

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 19d ago.

The scan reads SKILL.md. This mod also ships 4 executable files (scripts/helper.js, scripts/server.cjs, scripts/start-server.sh, …), listed below but not scanned — reading those needs a real analyzer, not pattern matching.

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

头脑风暴:从想法到设计

把尚未明确的目标、约束和关键取舍收敛成足以指导实现的设计。沿用用户已有的决定,不重新审批已认可的方案。

范围与完成条件

  • 用户要求先讨论、先审方案或暂不实现时,以设计交付为终点;未经认可不写实现代码、不搭脚手架。
  • 用户已要求实现时,只澄清会实质改变范围、成本或结果的未决问题;普通、可逆的选择沿用项目惯例并说明假设,不额外插入一次完整设计审批。
  • 设计明确且实现已获授权后,继续完成实现及对应验证,不在第一版代码或计划完成时提前交回。

收敛设计

先读取与当前设计有关的代码和文档,能查到的事实不问用户。只有历史决定影响当前取舍时才追溯提交。

聚焦目的、约束和成功标准,优先问最影响设计的一个问题。存在真实替代方案时比较权衡并给出推荐;路径明确时不为凑数提供多个方案。

设计深度随复杂度伸缩:简单工具可以是几句话;复杂系统说明相关的边界、数据流、失败处理和验证方式。多个子系统需要分阶段时,说明依赖与构建顺序,不擅自把用户要求的完整交付缩成第一个子项目。

需要持久规格时写入 docs/specs/YYYY-MM-DD-<主题>-design.md,优先使用用户指定的位置。短小、一次性的设计可以直接在回复中给出,不强制创建文件。只在用户明确要求时创建 Git commit。

交付前消除会影响实施的缺口、矛盾和歧义。复杂规格可用 spec-document-reviewer-prompt.md 做审阅;只有已获授权且当前环境支持时才委派独立审阅。

保留能解释设计的约束和取舍,避免未请求的功能、抽象或顺手重构。

可视化伴侣

仅在布局、线框图或空间关系更适合视觉讨论时提出使用浏览器伴侣。用户同意后再读 visual-companion.md 并启动;拒绝则继续纯文本。话题涉及 UI 本身不构成启动理由。

What ships with it

8 files beside SKILL.md in the same directory: the scripts, references and assets a skill reads on demand. Not counted in the per-session cost; read them before you install if any of them is executable.

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.
