brainstorming

brainstorming is a skill for Claude Code, Codex from rabee-elkholy/android-harness-kit. It costs 48 tokens per session (519 once invoked), scanned A, original, MIT.

A planning method for non-trivial software work, such as new features, screens, integrations, or major refactors.

In plain words
What is it for?
It is for exploring two or three architecture options, checking data storage and error-handling needs, and creating a grounded implementation plan.
Why use it?
It helps uncover missing requirements, compare design choices, and identify complexity and risks before implementation begins.

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 4d 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.

Brainstorming & Architecture Exploration Skill

1. Purpose & Trigger

Activate this skill before committing to an implementation plan whenever the task involves:

  • Adding a new feature, screen, or system integration.
  • Major refactoring of existing presentation, domain, or data layers.
  • Architectural design decisions with multiple viable technical paths.

2. Four-Phase Brainstorming Methodology

Phase 1: Requirements & Constraints Probing

  1. Identify underspecified requirements, hidden assumptions, and edge cases.
  2. Probe data persistence needs (Room, DataStore, SharedPreferences), network error handling, offline support, and lifecycle boundaries.
  3. Determine backward compatibility constraints with existing models and shared contracts.

Phase 2: Design Space & Trade-off Evaluation

Formulate and evaluate 2–3 distinct technical approaches:

  • Option A (Minimal / Incremental): Smallest blast radius, fits existing code structure directly, minimal refactoring.
  • Option B (Idiomatic MVI / Clean Architecture): Single-source StateFlow, isolated UseCase, clean domain entities, full separation of concerns.
  • Option C (Future-Proof / Reactive): Event-driven channels, decoupled abstractions, high scalability.

For each option, evaluate:

  • Pros & Cons.
  • Blast Radius & Risk: Which existing screens/features are touched?
  • Implementation Effort: Number of files and estimated complexity.

Phase 3: Android Platform Invariants Pre-Screening

Before proposing an approach, verify that it adheres to strict platform invariants:

  • Threading & ANR: Zero synchronous disk or database I/O on Dispatchers.Main.
  • Database Migrations: Incremental schema changes for @Entity / @Database.
  • Compose Stability: @Immutable / @Stable state models, Lazy list keys, directional RTL padding.
  • Localization: Dual-locale Arabic (RTL) and English (LTR) string parity.

Phase 4: Developer Alignment & Spec Locking

  • Present trade-offs concisely to the developer in chat or via ask_question when user preferences are needed.
  • Lock the agreed technical specification before authoring the implementation_plan.md artifact.

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.

brainstorming is a skill published in the GitHub repository rabee-elkholy/android-harness-kit (3 stars, last pushed 5d ago), licensed MIT. It adds 48 tokens to every session and 519 once invoked, about $0.0002 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.
