brainstorming

brainstorming is a skill for Claude Code from This-HW/claude-code-kit. It costs 43 tokens per session (1,062 once invoked), scanned A, original, MIT.

A design-first guide for new features, creative work, and implementation. TDD means test-driven development: writing tests to describe expected behavior before or alongside the code.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it to inspect project context, ask focused questions, compare approaches, write a specification, and then hand the approved design to planning.
Why use it?
It helps clarify requirements and get a design agreed before planning and implementation begin.

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 1mo 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

설계 승인 없이 plan-task를 invoke하거나 코드를 작성하면 안 됩니다.

체크리스트

진입 즉시 ToolSearch("select:TaskCreate,TaskUpdate,TaskList")로 Task 도구를 로드한 후,

Task 도구가 없으면 멈추지 말고 대체 경로로 간다 — ToolSearch가 Task 계열을 반환하지 않는 호스트/세션이 있다(F-038). 그때는 ./scripts/checklist.sh 기반 durable checklist로 추적한다. 규율 SSOT: skills/plan-task/references/task-tools-fallback.md. 아래 항목 각각에 대해 TaskCreate를 실행하세요.

Task 네이밍 규약: [Brainstorm] {항목명} (plan-task의 [Planning] Task와 구분) 완료 마킹 규약 [건너뛰기 금지]: 각 항목을 마치면 즉시 TaskUpdate(status="completed"), 마지막 항목(plan-task invoke)은 invoke 직전에 마킹 (규율 SSOT: rules/definition-of-done.md#task-마감-규율). work_id metadata: brainstorming 단계에서는 Work ID가 없으므로 {"phase": "brainstorming"}만 사용

  1. 프로젝트 컨텍스트 파악 (파일, 최근 커밋, docs)
  2. 명확화 질문 (한 번에 하나씩)
  3. 2-3가지 접근법 + 추천
  4. 설계 제시 및 사용자 승인
  5. 스펙 문서 작성 (docs/specs/YYYY-MM-DD-{topic}.md)
  6. 스펙 자가 검토 (플레이스홀더, 모순, 모호성)
  7. 사용자 스펙 검토 대기
  8. plan-task invoke

프로세스

1단계: 컨텍스트 파악

  • 관련 파일, README, 최근 커밋 확인
  • 규모 판단: 복수의 독립 서브시스템이면 분해 먼저 제안

2단계: 명확화 질문

  • 한 번에 하나의 질문만
  • 목적, 제약, 성공 기준에 집중
  • 가능하면 객관식 선택지 제공

3단계: 접근법 제안

  • 2-3가지 접근법과 트레이드오프
  • 추천안과 이유를 먼저 제시

4단계: 설계 제시

  • 각 섹션을 순서대로 제시하고 승인 확인
  • 아키텍처, 컴포넌트, 데이터 흐름, 에러 처리, 테스트 전략 포함
  • 수정 요청 시 해당 섹션 재작성

5단계: 스펙 문서 작성

저장 경로: docs/specs/YYYY-MM-DD-{topic}.md (docs/works/ 있으면 해당 Work와 연결)

스펙 문서 구조:

# {Topic} 설계

**Goal:** [한 문장]
**Architecture:** [2-3 문장]

## 요구사항
## 접근 방식
## 컴포넌트 구조
## 데이터 흐름
## 에러 처리
## 테스트 전략
## 범위 외

6단계: 자가 검토

  1. 플레이스홀더 스캔: TBD, TODO, 미완성 섹션 → 즉시 수정
  2. 일관성: 섹션 간 모순 없는지 확인
  3. 범위: 단일 plan으로 구현 가능한가?
  4. 모호성: 두 가지로 해석 가능한 요구사항 → 명확화

7단계: 사용자 검토 대기

세션 경계 주의: 이 단계에서 세션이 끝나면 대기 태스크가 다음 세션에 잔존한다 — 정상이다. 재개 판단 기준은 docs/specs/의 스펙 파일 (rules/task-resume.md 참고).

스펙을 `{path}`에 저장했습니다. 검토 후 수정 사항이 있으면 말씀해 주세요.
승인되면 plan-task로 넘어갑니다.

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 This-HW/claude-code-kit (4 stars, last pushed 1mo ago), licensed MIT. It adds 43 tokens to every session and 1,062 once invoked, about $0.0002 per session on Opus 5.5. 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.
