brainstorming SKILL.md skillA

brainstorming from brunob54/superpowers-orchestrator is an agent skill: a SKILL.md folder an AI agent loads when a task calls for it.

MUST USE when the user wants new features, behavior changes, refactoring with new capabilities, or architecture decisions and no approved design exists yet. Produces an approved design document before any code is written. Triggers on: "build this", "add a feature", "I want to change", "how should we", "design", "architect", "new project", "refactor", "we need to add/build/create", "implement a new". Routed by using-superpowers, or invoke directly via /brainstorming.

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

Turn rough requests into an approved design before implementation.

## Hard Gate

Do not write code, edit files, or invoke implementation skills until design approval is explicit. One carve-out: writes under `docs/research/` and `.superpowers/research/` made by the prior-art research step, and commits of those same paths made by that step, are part of design work, not implementation.

## Anti-Pattern: "This Is Too Simple To Need A Design"

Every project goes through this process. A todo list, a single-function utility, a config change — all of them. "Simple" projects are where unexamined assumptions cause the most wasted work. The design can be short (a few sentences for truly simple projects), but you MUST present it and get approval.

## Checklist

1. Inspect project context (relevant files, docs, recent commits).
2. Assess scope: if the project touches 4+ independent subsystems or would require 20+ implementation tasks, decompose into sub-projects. Design each sub-project as a separate spec. Present the decomposition to the user for approval before designing individual specs.

How to install

The exact contents, by fingerprint
mdr add brunob54/superpowers-orchestrator/brainstorming@sha256:dc1f8100fde239cb

The line at the top of this page pins the label git:20260921.cf1d92c, 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.
