Turns a rough idea into an approved design or written spec through one-question-at-a-time dialogue, scaled to spike, bounded, or architectural work. Use when asked to create a feature, build a component, add functionality, modify behavior, or start a new project, before any code is written.
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
Help turn ideas into fully formed designs and specs through natural collaborative dialogue.
Start by classifying how much process the request needs, then work through your path: understand the context, refine the idea, present a design, and get your human partner's approval.
**Announce at start:** "Using opm:brainstorming to design this before building it."
<HARD-GATE>
Do NOT invoke any implementation skill, write any code, scaffold any project, or take any implementation action until you have told your human partner what you intend and they have approved it. This applies to EVERY task on EVERY path below. The ceremony scales with the task; the approval gate never does.
</HARD-GATE>
## Three Paths
Before your first question, classify the request and say the classification out loud ("this looks bounded, so I'll present a short design here rather than write a spec") so your human partner can override it:
…
The line at the top of this page pins the label git:20260912.a10a790, 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.
