    Skill enables autonomous high-impact decisions without human-in-the-loop verification. Critical operations (destructive commands, financial transactions, data deletion) should require explicit user confirmation.
    Fix: Add human-in-the-loop confirmation for destructive, irreversible, or high-impact operations. Never auto-execute commands that modify files, send data, or alter system state.

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

Toolcraft Brainstorming

Use this skill before changing a Toolcraft generated app spec, behavior, controls, canvas output, panels, export behavior, renderer technique, timeline, layers, or media flow.

Process

  1. Read the generated app AGENTS.md and relevant docs/toolcraft/* contract files first.
  2. Identify the product goal, visible output, editable entities, required controls, export behavior, and verification tier.
  3. Make a Control Section Inventory grouped by product entity or workflow stage, not by UI component type.
  4. Decide whether layers, timeline, persistence, settings transfer, custom controls, or a custom renderer are actually required.
  5. Record decisions in docs/toolcraft/agent-worklog.md.

Toolcraft Rule

The local Toolcraft app contract is the source of truth. Do not ask the user to confirm decisions already covered by the prompt, AGENTS.md, or local Toolcraft docs. Continue when the product behavior is clear.

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.
