trellis-brainstorm SKILL.md skillA

trellis-brainstorm from dreamlonglll/mini-todo is an agent skill: a SKILL.md folder an AI agent loads when a task calls for it.

Install it, pinned
mdr add dreamlonglll/mini-todo/trellis-brainstorm@git:20260507.1e204fb

Pins git:20260507.1e204fb in mdr.lock. Pin the fingerprint instead.

Guides collaborative requirements discovery before implementation. Creates task directory, seeds PRD, asks high-value questions one at a time, researches technical choices, and converges on MVP scope. Use when requirements are unclear, there are multiple valid approaches, or the user describes a new feature or complex task.

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 - Requirements Discovery (AI Coding Enhanced)

Guide AI through collaborative requirements discovery **before implementation**, optimized for AI coding workflows:

* **Task-first** (capture ideas immediately)
* **Action-before-asking** (reduce low-value questions)
* **Research-first** for technical choices (avoid asking users to invent options)
* **Diverge → Converge** (expand thinking, then lock MVP)

---

## When to Use

Triggered from /trellis:start when the user describes a development task, especially when:

* requirements are unclear or evolving
* there are multiple valid implementation paths
* trade-offs matter (UX, reliability, maintainability, cost, performance)
* the user might not know the best options up front

---

## Core Principles (Non-negotiable)

1. **Task-first (capture early)**
   Always ensure a task exists at the start so the user's ideas are recorded immediately.

2. **Action before asking**
   If you can derive the answer from repo code, docs, configs, conventions, or quick research — do that first.

3. **One question per message**
   Never overwhelm the user with a list of questions. Ask one, update PRD, repeat.

4. **Prefer concrete options**

How to install

The exact contents, by fingerprint
mdr add dreamlonglll/mini-todo/trellis-brainstorm@sha256:a5fe1fbd16221c52

The line at the top of this page pins the label git:20260507.1e204fb, 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.
