Use when the user wants to brainstorm, choose an approach, design something, or clarify an ambiguous or consequential change.

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

# Brainstorming

Interview until you and the user share the same understanding.
Walk every branch of the decision tree and resolve dependent decisions in order.
Attach a recommended answer and its trade-off to every question.
Group only independent questions, as the [development loop](../../shared/development-loop.md) Reach agreement section requires.
The number of questions follows the ambiguity: stop when every branch is settled, not at a fixed count.
This rule applies on every path, whether or not the task needs a plan and chronicle.

<HARD-GATE>
Do not write code before the presented design or plan is approved.
Do not write the plan while purpose, scope, solved state, proof, or a contested design remains unresolved.
Once these points are settled, return them to the development loop.
The loop presents the complete design or plan before asking for approval.
Do not ask for separate approval before the plan.

If the user asks for no questions, remove ceremony but keep open decisions.
Present the open decisions with recommendations in one pass instead of choosing silently.
</HARD-GATE>

How to install

The exact contents, by fingerprint
mdr add reidemeister94/development-skills/brainstorming@sha256:0dfde6725b6b8f7a

The line at the top of this page pins the label git:20261031.a82a617, 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.
