brainstorming

brainstorming is a skill for Claude Code, Codex from majiayu000/spellbook. It costs 32 tokens per session (800 once invoked), scanned A, original, MIT.

A guided conversation method for turning a rough idea into a complete design. It uses questions, alternative approaches, and explicit trade-offs before implementation begins.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it to explore product ideas, design features, compare implementation approaches, and plan architecture through step-by-step dialogue.
Why use it?
It helps uncover missing requirements and constraints early. This reduces the chance of building the wrong feature or architecture from an incomplete 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

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 5d 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

From obra/superpowers

Purpose

Turn rough ideas into fully-formed designs through collaborative dialogue, NOT immediate implementation.

Use for: Exploring ideas, designing features, architecture decisions NOT for: Clear mechanical processes with obvious implementation

The Three Phases

Phase 1: Understanding the Idea

  1. Review existing context

    • Read relevant project files
    • Understand current architecture
    • Note constraints and requirements
  2. Ask clarifying questions

    • ONE question at a time
    • Prefer multiple choice when possible
    • Open-ended questions are fine too
    • Wait for answer before next question
Good: "Should this feature support offline mode?
       A) Yes, full offline support
       B) Yes, limited offline (read-only)
       C) No, online only"

Bad: "What about offline support? And caching?
      Also, how should errors be handled?"

Phase 2: Exploring Approaches

  1. Present 2-3 different solutions
    • Each with clear trade-offs
    • Lead with recommended option
    • Explain reasoning
## Approach A: Event-Driven (Recommended)
- Pros: Decoupled, scalable, easy to extend
- Cons: More complex debugging, eventual consistency
- Best for: Systems needing flexibility

## Approach B: Direct Integration
- Pros: Simple, immediate consistency
- Cons: Tight coupling, harder to scale
- Best for: Small, stable systems

## Approach C: Hybrid
- Pros: Balance of both
- Cons: Complexity of managing two patterns
- Best for: Gradual migration scenarios
  1. Discuss trade-offs
    • Performance vs simplicity
    • Flexibility vs maintainability
    • Short-term vs long-term

Phase 3: Presenting the Design

  1. Present in sections (200-300 words each)

    • Architecture overview
    • Key components
    • Data flow
    • Error handling
    • Testing strategy
  2. Validate incrementally

    • Get confirmation after each section
    • Adjust based on feedback
    • Don't dump everything at once

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 majiayu000/spellbook (277 stars, last pushed yesterday), licensed MIT. It adds 32 tokens to every session and 800 once invoked, about $0.0002 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.
