brainstorming

brainstorming is a skill for Claude Code, Codex from iurysza/android-use. It costs 36 tokens per session (549 once invoked), scanned A, original, MIT.

A guided discussion for clarifying a proposed feature or behavior before coding. It compares possible approaches and records an agreed direction.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it to inspect existing project context, restate the intended outcome, compare two or three designs, and agree on what to build.
Why use it?
It reduces misunderstandings and prevents implementation from starting before the problem, choices, and trade-offs are clear.

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.

Brainstorming

Use collaborative design before creative implementation. Understand the problem, expose meaningful choices, and agree on a direction before writing code.

Do not force this workflow onto trivial, mechanical, or already-specified work.

1. Understand the context

Inspect repository instructions, relevant files, existing patterns, prior decisions, and nearby behavior before proposing a design. Ask the user only for judgments the repository cannot answer.

Restate the intended outcome in a few sentences. Correct misunderstandings before exploring solutions.

2. Resolve discovery depth

Use the lightest available question tool for one quick decision. When the idea needs formal scope, several material decisions, testable facts, and an execution plan, hand it to the setup-goal skill rather than recreating that workflow here.

Brainstorming explores design direction. setup-goal turns an agreed direction into an implementation contract.

3. Explore approaches

Propose two or three meaningfully different approaches. For each, explain:

  • the core idea;
  • what it optimizes for;
  • important trade-offs;
  • fit with existing project conventions;
  • what would make it the wrong choice.

Recommend one approach and explain why. Avoid fake alternatives that differ only cosmetically.

4. Present the design incrementally

Present the proposed design in small, coherent sections and ask whether each section is correct before continuing. Cover only what the work needs, such as:

  • user or operator flow;
  • components and responsibilities;
  • data and state transitions;
  • boundaries and integrations;
  • failure behavior;
  • testing and verification.

Return to unresolved sections when feedback changes an earlier assumption.

5. Capture the approved design

Write durable design Markdown under:

ai-artifacts/plans/YYYY-MM-DD-<topic>-design.md

Keep related sketches and diagrams embedded in that Markdown as ASCII or Mermaid. Do not create standalone diagram files unless the user explicitly requests another format.

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 iurysza/android-use (21 stars, last pushed 16d ago), licensed MIT. It adds 36 tokens to every session and 549 once invoked, about $0.0001 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 2026-09-15.
