Turn a rough idea into a fully formed, written design through collaborative dialogue, exploring intent, requirements, and trade-offs one question at a time, then proposing approaches and capturing the agreed design in a spec before any code is written. Use at the start of any creative or feature work, when the idea isn't yet concrete enough to plan or build.

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

Help shape a vague idea into a concrete, agreed design before anything gets built. The work is collaborative and conversational: understand what the user actually wants, surface the decisions hidden inside the request, weigh approaches together, and write the result down. The goal is a design the user has explicitly approved: not code, and not a plan yet.

## Don't jump to implementation

Hold off on writing code, scaffolding a project, or invoking any build/plan skill until you've presented a design and the user has approved it. This holds even when the task looks trivial. "Too simple to need a design" is exactly where unexamined assumptions cause the most wasted work: a to-do app, a one-function utility, a config change all carry decisions worth naming. The design can be short (a few sentences for a genuinely simple thing), but present it and get a yes before moving on.

## Step 1: Understand the context

Before asking anything, look at what already exists, relevant files, docs, recent commits, the surrounding code. Ground the conversation in the real project so your questions are about *this* idea in *this* context, not generic ones.

## Step 2: Ask questions, one at a time

How to install

The exact contents, by fingerprint
mdr add khaledsaeed18/dotclaude/brainstorming@sha256:7db6041ad2badfe0

The line at the top of this page pins the label git:20260921.3a2f779, 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.
