Decompose a problem, feature, or goal into candidate ADRs and plan items for a documentation-led repo — one decision per ADR, dependency edges, suggested ordering. Proposes drafts for review and writes nothing until approved. Use when the user says "brainstorm ADRs", "break this down into decisions", "what ADRs do we need for X", "plan out the work", or invokes /brainstorm.

Collected from public GitHub. Every version is saved exactly as it was and never changes. Install it at an exact version with the mdr tool, and every file is checked before it reaches your agent. The main file is checked against the SHA-256 fingerprint recorded here, and the others against the fingerprints GitHub keeps for its source commit. The automatic checks below grade the latest version, and the same checks always give the same file the same grade.

What the file says

# brainstorm

Turn a fuzzy problem into a structured set of candidate ADRs and plan
items. This skill is **generative and read/propose-only** — it never
writes ADRs or plan files directly. On approval it hands each candidate
to the **new-adr** and **new-plan** skills.

## Step 0 — Preconditions and context

1. Confirm the repo is bootstrapped (or note that the output can seed a
   fresh run of the **bootstrap** skill).
2. Read `CONVENTIONS.md` for ADR shape and lifecycle, and skim
   `INDEX.md` + existing ADRs so candidates don't duplicate or
   contradict what already exists, and so dependencies point at real
   ADRs.

## Step 0.5 — Assessment (run first)

Run the shared assessment protocol before decomposing:

- **Reuse supplied answers first.** Treat applicable choices already supplied
  in the request or this session, including depth, as answered. Summarise
  them without asking again; defaults never replace explicit choices. If
  every material choice is supplied, proceed. Ask only about a material
  missing or conflicting choice. A repository preference alone is not a
  current answer or execution grant.

How to install

The exact contents, by fingerprint
mdr add evolvehq/docflow/brainstorm@sha256:f6a0a0ed500091aa

The line at the top of this page pins the label git:20260915.4da3699, which is what most people want. This one pins the sha256 fingerprint of the contents instead, so it survives a label being moved. Either way the exact version is written to mdr.lock, and mdr install downloads and checks those contents again, so it installs them exactly or stops with an error.
