phx-brainstorm

phx-brainstorm is a skill for Claude Code, Codex from oliver-kriska/claude-elixir-phoenix. It costs 42 tokens per session (1,428 once invoked), scanned A, a copy of brainstorm, MIT.

An interactive requirements workshop for planning Elixir and Phoenix features. It asks questions, records decisions, and can research options before producing an implementation brief.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it when you are unsure how to approach a feature, need to compare options, or want to clarify scope before writing an implementation plan.
Why use it?
It turns a vague feature idea into clearer requirements and decisions that a later plan can use.

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

phx-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 6d 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.

Origin

This is a copy

86% identical to brainstorm — 38 lines differ, which has more behind it and is treated as the original. This page carries a canonical link to it rather than competing with it.

How it starts

The opening of the file, as written. The whole thing — 148 lines — stays where its author put it; the contents beside it link to each section on GitHub.

Brainstorm — Adaptive Requirements Gathering

Interactive interview → research → synthesis loop. Produces structured interview.md that phx-plan detects and consumes (skipping clarification).

Usage

phx-brainstorm Add some kind of notification system
phx-brainstorm Improve authentication security
phx-brainstorm                    # starts with open question

Workflow

    |                           |

    ├─ Store & exit ──→ STOP (artifacts saved)
    └─ Discuss ──→ freeform ──→ [DECISION POINT]

Phase 1: Adaptive Interview

Create .claude/plans/{slug}/ directory. Start asking ONE question at a time.

Coverage Dimensions

Track coverage across 6 dimensions (0=uncovered, 1=partial, 2=sufficient). Ask Scope early — for "optimize X" topics, ask about boundaries (upstream OK? Local-only? CI vs dev?) before research, not during.

Dim Target Sufficient signal
What Specific behavior/features Concrete verbs, not "some kind of"
Why Problem solved, user need Clear benefit stated
Scope In/out boundaries Explicit exclusions stated
Where Modules, contexts, pages File paths or context names mentioned
How Approach, constraints At least one concrete constraint
Edge Error states, scale, auth 2+ edge cases identified

Interview is "sufficient" when total score >= 8 out of 12.

Context-Aware Questioning

Before each question, run a brief codebase scan on topics the user mentioned:

  1. User mentions a topic (e.g., "notifications") → run Grep/Glob for related patterns
  2. Use scan results to ground your next question in what actually exists
  3. Unknown/niche topic → suggest research pause before continuing

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.
