Iterative brainstorming skill for turning fuzzy ideas into approved tree documents. Diverges into branches, deepens and prunes them over many rounds, saves a tree doc. Run breakdown on the tree to distill it into a spec via guided questions. SKIP: a content outline to co-create, or one already approved and awaiting finished content (use foundry:create — create co-creates the outline, foundry:creator writes the finished artifact; brainstorm is for idea generation before an outline exists); a…
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
<objective> Turn unformed idea into branching exploration tree, then distill into spec. Idea mode = pure divergence — grow tree of directions, deepen promising branches, prune others, save result. No premature convergence. Run `breakdown` on tree when ready: asks distillation questions, writes spec section-by-section. NOT for implementation or code-gen — see `develop` plugin (requires `develop` plugin). > **HARD GATE:** Do NOT take any implementation action — writing code, creating files, scaffolding — until user approves design (spec). Applies regardless of perceived simplicity. Simple idea can have short tree and spec, but process never skipped. </objective> <inputs> - **$ARGUMENTS**: required — fuzzy idea, goal, or feature request in any form; one sentence enough - **`--tight`** — reduced-ceremony mode: see per-step caps below — 5/5/1 bounds vs default 10/10/2. Good for well-scoped ideas where problem already understood. - **`--deep`** — extended-ceremony mode: 15/15/3 bounds vs default 10/10/2. Good for ambiguous problems where more exploration valuable. - Default (no flag): behaviour unchanged — 10/10/2 bounds. …

How to install
mdr add borda/ai-rig/brainstorm@sha256:e67aca9470e02ad4The line at the top of this page pins the label git:20261021.7b6ff28, 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.
