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.

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 | $0.00028 | $0.00988 |
| Opus 5 | $0.00014 | $0.00494 |
| Sonnet 5 | $0.00006 | $0.00198 |
| Haiku 4.5 | $0.00003 | $0.00099 |
Grade A, and why
mk: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 2d 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.
How it starts
The opening of the file, as written. The whole thing — 78 lines — stays where its author put it; the contents beside it link to each section on GitHub.
Brainstorming
Use for generating or comparing multiple technical approaches to one validated decision.
Boundary: mk:office-hours answers “should we build this?”; this skill answers “how should we build it?” A bare “brainstorm” request is ambiguous: ask whether the user wants product discovery/validation or technical approaches. Do not route from that word alone.
Profiles
- quick /
--depth quick(default) — restate the decision in one line; give 2-4 technically distinct options and one recommendation. If a material fact is missing, state the assumption rather than running discovery. Return inline and stop. Do not load techniques, scout, scoring, challenge, reports, plans, wiki candidates, memory, or handoff. - deep /
--depth deep— load the needed technique and use the deep workflow below. A report, HTML output, or handoff is optional and only produced when requested or needed by an active plan.
Routing
| Situation | Route |
|---|---|
| New product, feature, or side-project value is unvalidated | mk:office-hours |
| Observed failure or root-cause work | mk:investigate |
| Existing plan, verdict, or brainstorm needs critique | mk:plan-ceo-review or mk:elicit |
| Generic Q&A or a single implementation detail | answer directly or use mk:docs-finder |
Defaults
Use at least two alternatives. Quick returns 2-4; deep generates 3-8 and never more than 8. Keep multiple dimensions in one run when they serve one decision or report; split only 3+ independently shippable concerns.
Quick Workflow
- Restate the validated decision and any material assumption.
- Give 2-4 technically distinct options with the key trade-off for each.
- Recommend one option and return inline. Do not create a report, plan, wiki candidate, or memory entry.
Deep Workflow
--advice (optional, deep only): when the flag is present, GUIDE fires after
step 1's frame and REVIEW after step 4's challenge pass, capped at 4 calls per run.
Athena supplies decision criteria and reads the chosen direction; it never generates
the option set, chooses for the user, or adds a gate. Without the flag there are zero
calls and no state. See references/advice-checkpoints.md.

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.

mk:brainstorming is a skill published in the GitHub repository ngocsangyem/MeowKit (14 stars, last pushed 1mo ago), licensed MIT. It adds 28 tokens to every session and 988 once invoked, about $0.0001 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.
