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

brainstorm-diverge-converge 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 yesterday.

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.

Table of Contents

Purpose

Apply structured divergent-convergent thinking to generate many creative options, organize them into meaningful clusters, then systematically evaluate and narrow to the strongest choices. This balances creative exploration with disciplined decision-making.

When to Use This Skill

  • Generating product or feature ideas
  • Exploring solution approaches for open-ended problems
  • Developing research questions or hypotheses
  • Creating marketing or content strategies
  • Identifying strategic initiatives or opportunities
  • Designing experiments or tests
  • Naming products, features, or projects
  • Developing interview questions or survey items
  • Exploring design alternatives (UI, architecture, process)
  • Prioritizing from a large possibility space
  • Overcoming creative blocks
  • When you need both quantity (many options) and quality (best options)

Trigger phrases: "brainstorm", "generate ideas", "explore options", "what are all the ways", "divergent thinking", "ideation", "evaluate alternatives", "narrow down choices"

What is Brainstorm Diverge-Converge?

A three-phase creative problem-solving method:

  • Diverge (Expand): Generate many ideas without judgment or filtering. Focus on quantity and variety. Defer evaluation.

  • Cluster (Organize): Group similar ideas into themes or categories. Identify patterns and connections. Create structure from chaos.

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.
