This skill creates and ranks research hypotheses from current findings. You use it after formalization or between investigation batches.

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

You must read and apply the [language rules](../reaper/references/language.md) before you write any output.

This skill revises ideas without experiments, proof attempts, or literature searches.

## Usage

You invoke this skill by name with an optional quoted direction. Slash-command hosts use `/brainstorm "<hint>"`.

```
brainstorm
brainstorm "explore liveness under partial synchrony"
```

## Inputs

You always read these files:

- `reaper-workspace/notes/problem-statement.md` supplies the model and properties.
- `reaper-workspace/notes/ideas.md` supplies ideas and their status.
- `reaper-workspace/notes/current-understanding.md` supplies current findings.
- `reaper-workspace/notes/results.md` supplies previous outcomes.

If `results.md` has 20 or more rows, you read batch summaries instead of all rows. You look for failure patterns across batches. You use the optional direction from the argument. You read these sources only when a specific idea needs them or progress stops:

- `reaper-workspace/notes/paper-summary.md`
- `reaper-workspace/notes/literature.md`
- `reaper-workspace/notes/clarified-goal.md`
- `reaper-workspace/papers/`

## Process
…

Read the whole file at its exact version.

How to install

The exact contents, by fingerprint
mdr add sebastianelvis/reaper/brainstorm@sha256:3fee9068408589e6

The line at the top of this page pins the label git:20260912.5e86435, 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.
