brainstorming-gatekeeper

brainstorming-gatekeeper is a skill for Claude Code from kucherenko/petropowers. It costs 33 tokens per session (909 once invoked), scanned A, original, MIT.

A pre-flight check that decides whether a request needs a design discussion before action begins.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it to detect requests involving new features, oil and gas work, or missing information such as format, size, location, or constraints.
Why use it?
It catches creative, domain-specific, or underspecified requests that may otherwise start with missing important details.

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-gatekeeper 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.

Skill: Brainstorming Gatekeeper

Pre-flight check that analyzes user requests and determines if brainstorming is required before any action.

When to Invoke

Invoke this skill when the user request contains ANY of:

  • Creative keywords (generate, create, build, implement, add, develop, make, set up, write, design)
  • Oil & gas domain terms (reservoir, well, seismic, production, drilling, LAS, SEG-Y, WITSML, pipeline)
  • Missing critical details (no size, format, location, constraints specified)

Skill Type: Rigid

This is a gatekeeper skill. Follow the decision logic exactly. Do not rationalize around it.

Trigger Detection

Keywords Table

Category Triggers
Creative generate, create, build, implement, add, develop, make, set up, write, design, construct, establish
Oil & Gas reservoir, well, seismic, production, drilling, LAS, SEG-Y, WITSML, PRODML, pipeline, formation, porosity, permeability, logs, survey
Ambiguity Missing: size, format, location, constraints, data type, time range, count, structure

Decision Logic

IF (has_creative_keyword AND has_domain_context) 
   OR (has_creative_keyword AND has_ambiguity)
   OR (has_domain_context AND has_ambiguity)
THEN → brainstorming required
ELSE → proceed directly

Your Task

Analyze the user's request against the triggers above. Then output ONE of:

Output A: Brainstorming Required

## Gatekeeper Decision: Brainstorming Required

**Triggers detected:**
- Keyword: [list detected creative keywords]
- Domain: [list detected domain terms]
- Ambiguity: [list missing details]

**Action:** Invoke brainstorming skill before proceeding.
Do NOT execute any implementation actions.

Then immediately invoke the brainstorming skill.

Output B: Proceed Directly

## Gatekeeper Decision: Proceed

**Analysis:** [Brief explanation why this is not creative work]
**Action:** Continue with appropriate skill or direct response.
