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.

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 | $0.00043 | $0.00962 |
| Opus 5 | $0.00022 | $0.00481 |
| Sonnet 5 | $0.00009 | $0.00192 |
| Haiku 4.5 | $0.00004 | $0.00096 |
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.
This is a copy
88% identical to brainstorming — 109 lines differ, which has more behind it and is treated as the original. This page carries a canonical link to it rather than competing with it.

Brainstorming Ideas Into Designs
When to Use
Use this skill before:
- building a new feature
- changing behavior in a meaningful way
- creating a new component or workflow
- turning a rough idea into an implementation-ready design
Usage
Use a short design discussion when consequential choices remain open. If the user has already supplied a workable design and asked for implementation, record the essential assumptions and proceed with the authorized work. For small, reversible changes, a concise inline design is enough.
inspect current context
-> identify decisions that affect the outcome
-> resolve consequential gaps
-> state the chosen approach and acceptance checks
-> implement when authorized
Decision Boundaries
Ask for input when the answer changes the product goal, user experience, public contract, data retention, or an irreversible action. Use existing project patterns for routine implementation choices. Continue independent research and preparation while a necessary answer is pending. An explicit brainstorming-only request remains a discussion task.
Practical Design Checklist
- Read the relevant code, requirements, and previous decisions.
- State the problem, intended user, and observable success criteria.
- Identify only the uncertainties that materially affect the solution.
- Compare alternatives when there is a real tradeoff; do not manufacture options.
- Choose a small, coherent implementation and explain its main tradeoff.
- Record an enduring design document only when future work needs it.
- Continue into implementation if the user requested execution.
Example
Request: Add CSV export to the existing table.
Known: Current filters and columns define the exported data.
Decision: Reuse the existing authorized data-fetch path.
Check: Export filtered rows, escape CSV cells, preserve column order.
Clarify only if export scope or access requirements remain ambiguous.
Handoff
Use a written plan when dependencies or scope need one. Do not require a second plan or approval merely to invoke another skill. Keep original user constraints and acceptance checks with the handoff.
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.

brainstorming is a skill published in the GitHub repository seaworld008/Commonly-used-high-value-skills (70 stars, last pushed 4d ago), licensed MIT. It adds 43 tokens to every session and 962 once invoked, about $0.0002 per session on Opus 5. A static security scan graded it A with 0 findings. It is 88% identical to brainstorming, differing in 109 lines, and is treated as a copy.
