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

brainstorm 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 10d 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.

Brainstorm

Guided ideation pipeline that turns rough ideas into a validated requirements document. Alternates between conversation with the user and delegated research to keep main context lean.

Invocation

/brainstorm [topic or idea]

Examples:

  • /brainstorm "real-time notifications system"
  • /brainstorm "mobile-responsive dashboard"
  • /brainstorm "plugin marketplace monetization"

Pipeline

Phase 1: Idea Exchange (Main + User)

NO agents. NO file reads. Just conversation.

Main's job:

  1. Listen to the user's idea
  2. Ask clarifying questions to understand intent (not implementation):
    • What problem does this solve?
    • Who benefits?
    • What does success look like from the user's perspective?
  3. Rephrase the idea back to confirm understanding
  4. If the user has multiple ideas, list them all before researching any

Output: A numbered list of candidate ideas, each 1-2 sentences.

Context budget: This phase should use <500 tokens of main's context.

Phase 2: Research Gates (Parallel Agents)

For EACH candidate idea from Phase 1, spawn research agents in parallel. Main does NOT read their raw output -- agents return a structured verdict.

Agents per idea (launch all in parallel):

Agent Question Method Verdict format
feasibility "Can our stack do this?" Read architecture docs, relevant source files FEASIBLE / RISKY / INFEASIBLE + 2-line reason
prior-art "How do serious players solve this?" Web search for established approaches 3 bullet points: who does it, how, what we can learn
conflict-check "Does this break or duplicate anything we have?" Read architecture docs, grep for overlapping features CLEAR / CONFLICT + what it conflicts with

Agent prompt template:

You are a research agent. Answer ONE question and return a structured verdict.

QUESTION: [question]
IDEA: [idea description]
PROJECT: [brief context from Phase 1]

Research approach:
- [specific files to read or searches to run]

Return your verdict in EXACTLY this format:
VERDICT: [FEASIBLE|RISKY|INFEASIBLE] or [CLEAR|CONFLICT] or [bullet points]
REASON: [2-3 lines max, be specific, cite what you found]

Do NOT return raw file contents or search results. Only the verdict.

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.
