brainstorm

brainstorm is a skill for Claude Code, Codex from yunsii/wezdeck. It costs 100 tokens per session (1,667 once invoked), scanned A, original, MIT.

A brainstorming workflow that uses several independent viewpoints, then challenges and combines the resulting ideas. It is intended for open-ended questions where you want options.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it to explore approaches, options, or angles on a problem. It is not intended for reviewing an existing code change or design proposal.
Why use it?
It helps widen the range of ideas before narrowing them down and separates idea generation from criticism and selection.

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 4d ago.

The scan reads SKILL.md. This mod also ships 2 executable files (run.sh, test.sh), listed below but not scanned — reading those needs a real analyzer, not pattern matching.

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.

How it starts

The opening of the file, as written. The whole thing — 150 lines — stays where its author put it; the contents beside it link to each section on GitHub.

Brainstorm (platform skill — single source)

Who runs: the coding agent, not the human. Never tell the user to copy-paste run.sh as the primary path. Never replace this with a solo idea dump and call it a brainstorm — the point is multiple independent personas + cross-model, then a judge.

This directory is the only skill + runner unit. Other paths are symlinks (installed by scripts/dev/link-platform-skills.sh). Do not maintain a second SKILL.md body.

Who runs what

Actor Duty
Human Intent only:「头脑风暴」「帮我想想点子」「发散一下这个问题」
Any agent Load this skill → phrase the problem → run → relay result
Host headless backends claude / codex / grok as personas / challenger / judge

When to load / run

  • User wants ideas, options, approaches, or angles on an open-ended question
  • User explicitly says 头脑风暴 / brainstorm / 发散 / 想点子

Skip / redirect:

  • Concrete diff / existing codeadversarial-review (this skill is generative, not a defect finder)
  • Someone's design doc / RFC / ADR / 方案 when the intent is only to evaluate that proposal → default 设计评审 (main-agent structured challenge; host validation.md → Design proposal review). Do not default to a full diverge pass that ignores the proposal
  • Same design doc when the user still wants alternatives → this skill is appropriate: phrase problem + extract hard constraints from the doc; prefer challenge-heavy use; full diverge only if the problem space is still open

Three stages (divergent → convergent)

Stage Role Stance
1 diverge N persona lenses × cross-provider expand — maximize novelty, no self-censoring
2 challenge devil's advocate stress-test feasibility/risk, do not delete ideas
3 converge judge / facilitator blind-rank + synthesize a recommendation

Built-in personas (lenses): Moonshot Innovator · Pragmatic Builder · End-User Advocate · Contrarian/First-Principles. Configurable in lib/personas.conf — add a lens = one line, no code edits.

What ships with it

7 files beside SKILL.md in the same directory: the scripts, references and assets a skill reads on demand. Not counted in the per-session cost; read them before you install if any of them is executable.

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.

brainstorm is a skill published in the GitHub repository yunsii/wezdeck (5 stars, last pushed 8d ago), licensed MIT. It adds 100 tokens to every session and 1,667 once invoked, about $0.0005 per session on Opus 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.
