brainstorm

brainstorm is a skill for Claude Code from radumarias/xorio-claude-plugin. It costs 164 tokens per session (2,077 once invoked), scanned A, original, MIT.

A structured brainstorming workflow that asks multiple agents to generate, challenge, debate, and rank ideas. It can focus on a specific improvement or on ideas for things to build.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it to brainstorm a topic, review ideas through opposing arguments, compare alternatives, and produce a ranked report.
Why use it?
It helps expose weak ideas and combine different viewpoints before choosing which ideas to pursue.

Runs only inside its plugin — its command needs a path that Claude Code sets for a plugin’s own hooks and for nothing else. Install the plugin, not this.

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 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 8d ago.

The scan reads SKILL.md. This mod also ships 1 executable file (workflow.js), listed below but not scanned — reading those needs a real analyzer, not pattern matching.

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 — 122 lines — stays where its author put it; the contents beside it link to each section on GitHub.

brainstorm

Run a structured multi-agent brainstorm on a topic: a Map → Ideate → Refute → Debate → Synthesize Workflow that emits many ideas across diverse lenses, adversarially vets each (default-refuted majority vote), debates the survivors, and returns a ranked, vetted report. Built for two jobs: optimizing something specific, and getting several ideas to build a few of them out.

The orchestration lives in workflow.js (next to this file). This skill's job is to parse the request, ground it lightly, launch the workflow, and present results.

Model tiers — resolve at runtime, never hardcode

This skill refers to model tiers, not model names. Resolve them once at run start from the runtime environment — never from this file:

  • STRONG — the most capable Claude model currently available. Identify it from the session environment (the system context names the current flagship) and the Agent/Workflow tool's model options. Use the flagship for STRONG even if the session runs on a cheaper model; when the session model already IS the flagship, omit the model param and inherit it.
  • MID — one tier below STRONG: capable and cheaper; mechanical/structured work (extraction, summarizing, convention checks).
  • LIGHT — the smallest/cheapest available tier: trivial gates, yes/no checks.

workflow.js cannot read the environment itself — resolve the tiers BEFORE launching and pass them as args.models = { strong, mid, light } (concrete aliases from the Workflow tool's model options). If a tier is omitted, the script degrades safely: those agents inherit the session model. Model names must never be written into this skill or workflow.js; when a newer flagship ships, this rule adopts it automatically.

--fable override. When --fable is passed, resolve STRONG to fable (the fable option of the Workflow tool's model) and pass args.fable = true. The best-model agents — Map, Synthesize, and every STRONG Ideate/Refute/Debate slot — then run on Fable at MAX effort (workflow.js pins STRONG-tier effort to max under --fable). MID/LIGHT are untouched: cheaper roles stay on their tiers. This is the surgical middle ground between the default (mixed tiers) and brainstorm-mythos (every agent on Fable). Opt-in — Fable is access-gated and pricier; if the fable model option is unavailable in the runtime, note it and fall back to the default STRONG resolution.

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.

brainstorm is a skill published in the GitHub repository radumarias/xorio-claude-plugin (3 stars, last pushed 1mo ago), licensed MIT. It adds 164 tokens to every session and 2,077 once invoked, about $0.0008 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.
