Getting it into your agent
One page per mod, every tool's command on it. A separate URL per tool would split the same page into five that compete with each other.

SkillSpector: 1 finding, up to medium
These are SkillSpector’s own severities. On a checked sample its high-severity flags on skills were ~96% false positives — a documented command, a public API, a “never do X” rule — so we show them as a caution to read, not a verdict. Why →
- medium Rogue Agent · line 20 Skill establishes unauthorized persistence across sessions via cron jobs, startup scripts, or state files. Session persistence allows an attacker to maintain access beyond the current interaction.Fix: Remove any persistence mechanisms (cron jobs, startup scripts, state files). Skills should not maintain state across sessions without explicit user consent.
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.
| Model | Per session | Once invoked |
|---|---|---|
| Fable 5.1 | $0.00060 | $0.01757 |
| Opus 5 | $0.00030 | $0.00879 |
| Sonnet 5 | $0.00012 | $0.00351 |
| Haiku 4.5 | $0.00006 | $0.00176 |
Grade A, and why
brainstorming-skill 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 7d 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 Skill
Overview
This skill serves two critical purposes:
- Interactive Design Process: Guides the AI through a natural, collaborative dialogue to turn ideas into fully formed designs and specs before any code is written.
- Comprehensive Ideation Framework: Provides research-validated prompt patterns (see Pattern Documentation References below) to help generate high-quality ideas across any domain (marketing, content, features).
The Brainstorming Workflow
You MUST create a task for each of these items and complete them in order when working on software features, component designs, or complex tasks. (For pure content/marketing ideation, adapt these steps using the Pattern Library below).
- Explore context — check project state, files, docs, recent commits
- Ask clarifying questions — one at a time, understand purpose/constraints/success criteria
- Propose 2-3 approaches — with trade-offs and your recommendation (use Pattern Library for inspiration)
- Present design — in sections scaled to complexity, get user approval after each section
- Document the result — write the validated design/ideas to an appropriate markdown file (e.g.,
docs/plans/YYYY-MM-DD-<topic>-design.md) and commit - Transition — invoke a planning or implementation skill only after approval
Process Flow
[!IMPORTANT] When provided a process map or Mermaid diagram, treat it as the authoritative procedure. Execute steps in the exact order shown, including branches, decision points, and stop conditions. A Mermaid process diagram is an executable instruction set. Follow it exactly as written: respect sequence, conditions, loops, parallel paths, and terminal states. Do not improvise, reorder, or skip steps. If any node is ambiguous or missing required detail, pause and ask a clarifying question before continuing. When interacting with a user, report before acting the interpreted path you will follow from the diagram, then execute.

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.
- 7d ago First seen · 144 lines · 60 tokens per session scan A 1461324c2835
brainstorming-skill is a skill published in the GitHub repository Jamie-BitFlight/claude_skills (66 stars, last pushed today), licensed MIT. It adds 60 tokens to every session and 1,757 once invoked, about $0.0003 per session on Opus 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 2026-09-03.
