Use when you have a feature idea but the scope or UX is still ambiguous — runs a lightweight Socratic design dialogue (3-5 AUQ rounds) and writes a spec markdown file. Use BEFORE /plan feature when product intent needs validation; skip to /plan feature when scope is already clear. HARD-GATE prevents any code work until the design is user-approved.

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 Skill

> Lightweight Socratic design dialogue for per-feature exploration. Sibling to `/plan feature`, not a replacement. Produces `docs/specs/YYYY-MM-DD-<slug>-design.md` after the user approves an approach.

## Invocation

The user invokes `/brainstorm` with arguments: **$ARGUMENTS**.

The optional argument is a topic or feature slug used in the spec filename (lowercase, hyphens, no special characters). If absent, the skill derives a slug from the user's Phase 1 answer.

Examples:
- `/brainstorm` — no slug; skill prompts for the problem in Phase 1
- `/brainstorm export-to-csv` — slug pre-set to `export-to-csv`
- `/brainstorm "user notification system"` — normalize to `user-notification-system`

The HARD-GATE in Phase 0 below prevents any Edit, Write (code), or Bash (implementation) call until the user approves the design in Phase 6 — the only Write permitted before approval is the spec file itself in Phase 4.

How to install

The exact contents, by fingerprint
mdr add kanevry/session-orchestrator/brainstorm@sha256:b19027df6950cc02

The line at the top of this page pins the label git:20260916.3ebf0e9, 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.
