适用于编写代码前,当需求或方向仍不清楚时,梳理模糊想法、比较方案并形成轻量设计文档。Use before implementation when the request is ambiguous or the direction is undecided: refine rough ideas through questions, explore alternatives, validate design sections with the user, and save a concise decision spec. Do not create implementation plans or invoke planning/execution skills automatically. 中文关键词:想法不清楚、需求澄清、方案发散、方案对比、取舍分析、决策、设计文档、决策依据。.

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 an unclear request into a shared decision and a concise decision spec.

## 输出语言

默认使用简体中文与用户沟通,并以简体中文编写决策文档。用户明确指定其他语言或既有文档语言另有约定时,遵从该约定;代码、命令、产品名和必须保持原文的引用不强行翻译。

## Scope

Do only these things:

- Clarify the need, intended outcome, constraints, and success criteria.
- Expand 2–3 genuinely distinct directions when alternatives matter.
- Compare trade-offs and recommend a direction when the evidence supports one.
- Apply YAGNI ruthlessly: remove features and decisions that are not needed to meet the success criteria from every direction and from the recommended design.
- Help the user make or confirm the decision.
- Write the confirmed decision as one spec.

## Hard boundaries

Do not:

- Create an implementation plan, task breakdown, checklist, or task file.
- Invoke `planning-with-files-zh` or any other planning/implementation skill.
- Write, edit, generate, or execute production code.
- Start a visual companion, server, or other auxiliary workflow.
- Commit changes or continue into implementation after the spec is complete.

The only project file this skill may create or edit is the decision spec described below.

## Establish shared understanding

How to install

The exact contents, by fingerprint
mdr add madnpc/skills/brainstorming@sha256:61b4c404f0def04e

The line at the top of this page pins the label git:20260929.4fdade6, 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.
