ork-brainstorm

ork-brainstorm is a skill for Codex from yonatangross/orchestkit. It costs 58 tokens per session (292 once invoked), scanned A, original, MIT.

A structured brainstorming process for comparing different ways to implement a feature or solve a technical or operational problem.

In plain words
What is it for?
It helps choose between implementation, architecture, product, and operational approaches before coding begins.
Why use it?
It makes important choices easier to review by laying out benefits, costs, risks, dependencies, and what could prove each option wrong.

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

ork-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.

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

Ork Brainstorm

Frame the outcome, constraints, non-goals, and decision deadline. Inspect the relevant repository and existing decisions before proposing options.

Generate two to four materially different approaches. For each, state the implementation shape, benefits, costs, risks, dependencies, reversibility, and the evidence that would disprove it. Do not pad the list with cosmetic variations.

When an option depends on what a library, framework, or service can actually do today, confirm it with the context7 MCP server (resolve-library-id, then query-docs) before scoring it. An option built on a capability you only remember is an assumption, and it belongs in the unresolved list.

Use one context for a normal decision. Delegate only when there are at least three independent unknowns; give each subagent one bounded question and synthesize its evidence. Prefer the installed ork_explorer role when available, otherwise use Codex's built-in explorer role.

End with a recommendation, the decision rationale, unresolved assumptions, and the smallest next action. Do not edit files until the user asks to implement the chosen approach.

Changes

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.
