brainstorming

brainstorming is a skill for Claude Code, Codex from omnigentx/jarvis. It costs 27 tokens per session (401 once invoked), scanned A, original, MIT.

A structured planning method for turning a rough idea into an agreed design before implementation. It covers context, clarifying questions, alternative approaches, architecture, data flow, errors, and testing.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it to explore a project idea, break down a large task, compare implementation approaches, document a design, and confirm the plan before coding.
Why use it?
It helps uncover unclear requirements and trade-offs before code is written. This can prevent teams from building unnecessary or unsuitable features.

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 1mo 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.

What it actually says

Brainstorming Ideas Into Designs

Inspired by obra/superpowers.

Turn rough ideas into fully-formed designs through structured exploration.

Core rule: Do NOT implement anything until the design is agreed upon.

Process

1. Understand Context

  • Review current project state (files, docs, existing code)
  • Assess scope — is this one task or multiple sub-projects?
  • If too large, decompose into smaller pieces first

2. Ask Clarifying Questions

  • One question at a time
  • Prefer multiple-choice when possible
  • Focus on: purpose, constraints, success criteria

3. Explore Approaches

  • Propose 2-3 different approaches with trade-offs
  • Lead with your recommendation and explain why
  • Be honest about complexity vs. simplicity

4. Present Design

  • Architecture overview
  • Components and their responsibilities
  • Data flow
  • Error handling strategy
  • Testing approach

5. Get Agreement

  • Present each section, confirm before moving on
  • Be ready to revise based on feedback
  • Document the final design

Key Principles

  • YAGNI ruthlessly — Remove features that aren't needed yet
  • Explore alternatives — Always propose 2-3 approaches
  • Incremental validation — Confirm each section
  • Design for isolation — Each component should have one clear purpose
  • Smaller units — Easier to understand, test, and modify

In Multi-Agent Context

When brainstorming in a meeting:

  • Use speak() to propose ideas and ask questions
  • Wait for other agents' input before finalizing
  • Summarize the agreed design before moving to implementation

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.
