product-brainstorming-planning

product-brainstorming-planning is a skill for Codex from jeremylongworth-source/AgentSkills. It costs 66 tokens per session (462 once invoked), scanned A, original, MIT.

A structured way to explore a product or feature idea before deciding how to build it. It turns a rough goal into a clear brief with users, problems, constraints, options, and acceptance criteria.

In plain words
What is it for?
It helps brainstorm alternatives, define a small first version, compare trade-offs, clarify requirements, and prepare work for implementation.
Why use it?
It helps resolve uncertainty early and prevents detailed implementation plans from being based on an unclear idea.

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

product-brainstorming-planning 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.

What it actually says

Product Brainstorming Planning

Core Workflow

  1. Separate brainstorming from implementation planning. First clarify what should exist and why; only then decide how to build it.
  2. Identify user, problem, motivation, desired outcome, constraints, risks, non-goals, and decision criteria.
  3. Ask only high-impact questions. Prefer 3-7 targeted questions over a long intake form.
  4. Explore multiple approaches, including a small MVP, a strong version, and a risky/ambitious version.
  5. Present staged decisions so the user can steer before detailed planning.
  6. Convert the selected direction into a build-ready brief with acceptance criteria.

Handoff Rule

End brainstorming with a clear next-skill recommendation when the work should continue in a specialized skill. Examples:

  • Game concepts: hand off to game-skill-orchestration.
  • Growth, sales, or marketing ideas: hand off to growth-strategy-orchestration.
  • React/Next performance ideas: hand off to react-next-performance-optimization.
  • UI critique or visual polish: hand off to visual-ui-ux-audit.
  • Skill improvement ideas: hand off to skill-evaluation-iteration.

Brainstorming Modes

  • Discovery: clarify the problem, audience, and success criteria.
  • Divergence: generate several viable directions.
  • Convergence: compare options and choose a path.
  • Design shaping: define workflows, states, edge cases, and data.
  • Implementation readiness: translate the idea into scope, milestones, and validation.

Output Contract

  • Intent summary
  • Assumptions and unknowns
  • User/job/story
  • Options with tradeoffs
  • Recommended direction
  • MVP and later versions
  • Acceptance criteria
  • Open questions that materially change scope

References

  • Read references/brainstorming-planning-checklist.md when shaping a broad or ambiguous idea.
Files

What ships with it

2 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.

Changes

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.
