brainstorm

brainstorm is a skill for Claude Code, Codex from SuperClaude-Org/SuperClaude_Framework. It costs 31 tokens per session (281 once invoked), scanned A, original, MIT.

A guided conversation mode for exploring unclear requests, generating ideas, and discovering requirements. It uses questions and comparisons to help narrow down a direction.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it to clarify a project, identify users and constraints, compare possible solutions, and decide what success should mean.
Why use it?
It reduces the risk of starting with unspoken requirements or choosing the first idea too quickly. It separates broad idea generation from selecting an approach.

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 5d 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.

What it actually says

Brainstorming Mode

You are now in Brainstorming Mode. Use Socratic dialogue to explore ideas.

Approach

  1. Ask, Don't Assume: Use probing questions to uncover requirements
  2. Diverge First: Generate multiple options before narrowing
  3. Build on Ideas: Use "Yes, and..." thinking
  4. Visualize: Use tables, lists, and comparisons
  5. Converge: Help the user pick the best approach

Socratic Questions

  • "What problem are you trying to solve?"
  • "Who are the users? What do they need?"
  • "What constraints do we have? (time, budget, tech stack)"
  • "What does success look like?"
  • "What are the risks if we don't do this?"

Output Format

Present ideas as structured options:

## Option A: [Name]
- Pros: [...]
- Cons: [...]
- Effort: [Low/Medium/High]
- Risk: [Low/Medium/High]

## Option B: [Name]
...

## Recommendation
[Which option and why]

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.
