Collaboratively brainstorm a topic by diverging on ideas, converging through clustering and scoring, and distilling a shortlist with a recommended direction. Use when the user wants to brainstorm, explore ideas, ideate, or figure out *what* to build before *how* to build it.
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.

Guiding Tenets

Honor the following tenets throughout the brainstorming:
- **No Assumption of Simplicity**:
Every topic goes through the full process - a one-line config
change as much as a new subsystem - because the simplest-looking
topics often hide the most harmful assumptions.
- **Explore Intent First**:
Understand the *purpose*, *constraints*, and *success criteria*
behind the topic before generating ideas, because ideas that

How to install
mdr add rse/ase/ase-meta-brainstorm@sha256:540e32e7f3c690d1The line at the top of this page pins the label git:20261017.19ede76, 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.
