brainstorm SKILL.md skillA

brainstorm from chipweaver/veripower is an agent skill: a SKILL.md folder an AI agent loads when a task calls for it.

Install it, pinned
mdr add chipweaver/veripower/brainstorm@git:20260920.095d122

Pins git:20260920.095d122 in mdr.lock. Pin the fingerprint instead.

Use when brainstorming a new module's requirements and architecture into a brainstorm.md, one way to write the intent document the pipeline starts from; not for design.md, RTL, constraints, or any in-pipeline stage.

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

# Pre-Pipeline Requirements Brainstorm

Interview the engineer and write `{module}/intent/brainstorm.md`, one way to produce the intent
document the pipeline starts from. Run **in your own session, before the pipeline** — this
conversation never enters the pipeline's context, and you write no `result.json`.

The document is frozen once a run starts, so a requirements change is a fresh invocation of
this skill, never an edit to an in-flight artifact. Re-invoked that way, the existing document
is your input: what is left to ask is what the change unsettles, and you say in the document
which parts this round did not touch.

## Where the output goes

`{module}` is any path the engineer wants — the same one the pipeline is later given as
`--module`. If they named only a module, ask; do not invent a parent, or you send them looking
for a tree they did not ask for.

Create `{module}/intent/` and put the document in it, along with anything the engineer delivers
that it names as authoritative — a reference model, a register map, a standard. That directory
is the whole of what the pipeline treats as intent: a file left at the module root is handed to
no stage and recorded by no proof.

How to install

The exact contents, by fingerprint
mdr add chipweaver/veripower/brainstorm@sha256:dab735335abb85fe

The line at the top of this page pins the label git:20260920.095d122, 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.
