Refine feature and sprint intent into a useful specification. Capture scope, observable criteria and material choices without repeated artifact approval ceremonies.

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

Refine the agreed outcome before implementation. This is intent clarification and specification authoring, not a second permission system. The feature or sprint request is the initial authorization; ask about consequential choices not already answered, not whether an artifact may exist.

## Format and caller

For artifact I/O, load `{{PLUGIN_ROOT}}/includes/artifacts.md` and select the source with `_select_authoring_route`. Retain that source identity through specification authoring.

The calling feature or sprint owns scope and the next step. A sprint may include several related features under one coherent goal. A small inline feature remains the caller's mini-spec lane. Specification authoring itself does not grant commit, publication, override, provider spending, or irreversible-operation authority.

Use relevant CONTEXT.md, tech-stack.md and security-controls.md when present. Read an existing open-questions document and relevant ADR/plan headings index-first. Missing optional historical indices are not blockers. Preserve real decisions while distinguishing an accepted decision from implemented or released behavior.

How to install

The exact contents, by fingerprint
mdr add arbiterforge/codearbiter/brainstorming@sha256:b149d08684cbc8cf

The line at the top of this page pins the label git:20261018.4414905, 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.
