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.

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.
| Model | Per session | Once invoked |
|---|---|---|
| Fable 5.1 | $0.00050 | $0.07133 |
| Opus 5 | $0.00025 | $0.03566 |
| Sonnet 5 | $0.00010 | $0.01427 |
| Haiku 4.5 | $0.00005 | $0.00713 |
Grade A, and why
bulwark-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 11d 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 — 575 lines — stays where its author put it; the contents beside it link to each section on GitHub.
Bulwark Brainstorm
Role-based brainstorming on a given topic with two execution modes:
--scoped(default): Sequential Task tool pipeline — Project SME first, 3 role agents in parallel, Critical Analyst last. Best when the problem statement is well understood and you need focused implementation brainstorming.--exploratory: Agent Teams peer debate — Project SME first, then 3 AT teammates (Product & Delivery Lead, Architect, Critical Analyst) debating collaboratively. Best when validating whether an idea has merit and the problem framing is uncertain.
Both modes synthesize into a single brainstorm document with actionable recommendations.

When to Use This Skill
Load this skill when the user request matches ANY of these patterns:
| Trigger Pattern | Example User Request |
|---|---|
| Implementation evaluation | "Should we build X?", "Evaluate this approach" |
| Feasibility assessment | "Is this feasible?", "How would we implement X?" |
| Architecture brainstorm | "Design the approach for X", "How should X fit into our system?" |
| Post-research planning | "We've researched X, now plan the implementation" |
| Role-based analysis | "Get PM/architect/dev perspectives on X" |
DO NOT use for:
- Initial topic research (use
bulwark-researchfirst) - Quick technical questions (ask directly)
- Code review (use
code-review) - Debugging (use
issue-debugging)

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.

bulwark-brainstorm is a skill published in the GitHub repository QBall-Inc/the-bulwark (8 stars, last pushed today), licensed MIT. It adds 50 tokens to every session and 7,133 once invoked, about $0.0003 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 2026-08-31.
