Use when creating or developing anything, before writing code or implementation plans - refines rough ideas into fully-formed designs through structured Socratic questioning, alternative exploration, and incremental validation.
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 Ideas Into Designs ## Overview Transform rough ideas into fully-formed designs through structured questioning and alternative exploration. **Core principle:** Ask questions to understand, explore alternatives, present design incrementally for validation. **Announce at start:** "I'm using the brainstorming skill to refine your idea into a design." ## Quick Reference | Phase | Key Activities | Tool Usage | Output | |-------|---------------|------------|--------| | **1. Understanding** | Ask questions (one at a time) | AskUserQuestion for choices, agents for research | Purpose, constraints, criteria | | **2. Exploration** | Propose 2-3 approaches | AskUserQuestion for approach selection, agents for patterns | Architecture options with trade-offs | | **3. Design Presentation** | Present in 200-300 word sections | Open-ended questions | Complete design with validation | ## The Process **REQUIRED: Create task tracker at start** Use TaskCreate to create todos for each phase (or TodoWrite in older Claude Code versions): - Phase 1: Understanding (purpose, constraints, criteria gathered) - Phase 2: Exploration (2-3 approaches proposed and evaluated) …

How to install
mdr add ed3dai/ed3d-plugins/brainstorming@sha256:02497f0054d27224The line at the top of this page pins the label git:20260616.eb1d79c, 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.
