superpowers-brainstorming

superpowers-brainstorming is a skill for Claude Code, Codex from regen-coordination/org-os-template. It costs 40 tokens per session (1,032 once invoked), scanned A, original, MIT.

A planning and design process for turning an idea into a clear implementation plan. It explores the project context, asks clarifying questions, compares approaches, and produces a design specification.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it before building features, components, or behavior changes, including small tasks where the intended result still needs to be defined.
Why use it?
It helps uncover unclear requirements and assumptions before code is written.

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

superpowers-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 8d 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 Ideas Into Designs

Help turn ideas into fully formed designs and specs through natural collaborative dialogue.

Start by understanding the current project context, then ask questions one at a time to refine the idea. Once you understand what you're building, present the design and get user approval.

Anti-Pattern: "This Is Too Simple To Need A Design"

Every project goes through this process. A todo list, a single-function utility, a config change — all of them. "Simple" projects are where unexamined assumptions cause the most wasted work. The design can be short (a few sentences for truly simple projects), but you MUST present it and get approval.

Checklist

Complete these in order:

  1. Explore project context — check files, docs, recent commits
  2. Ask clarifying questions — one at a time, understand purpose/constraints/success criteria
  3. Propose 2-3 approaches — with trade-offs and your recommendation
  4. Present design — in sections scaled to their complexity, get user approval after each section
  5. Write design doc — save to docs/superpowers/specs/YYYY-MM-DD-<topic>-design.md and commit
  6. Spec self-review — quick inline check for placeholders, contradictions, ambiguity, scope
  7. User reviews written spec — ask user to review the spec file before proceeding
  8. Transition to implementation — invoke superpowers:writing-plans skill to create implementation plan

The Process

Understanding the idea:

  • Check out the current project state first (files, docs, recent commits)
  • If the request describes multiple independent subsystems, flag this immediately. Decompose into sub-projects.
  • Ask questions one at a time to refine the idea
  • Prefer multiple choice questions when possible
  • Focus on: purpose, constraints, success criteria

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.
