brainstorm SKILL.md skillB

brainstorm from oprogramadorreal/optimus-claude is an agent skill: a SKILL.md folder an AI agent loads when a task calls for it.

Runs a structured design conversation — clarifies intent, proposes 2-3 approaches with trade-offs, iterates the design — and writes a user-approved engineering spec to docs/specs/ that /optimus:tdd auto-detects. No implementation happens until the spec is approved. With the scaffold argument, creates docs/product/ steering skeletons instead (never overwrites, authors no content). Recommends /optimus:init first.

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

Guide the user through a design conversation that produces a written, approved spec before any implementation begins.

**The hard gate: no implementation until the design is approved.** Do not invoke an implementation skill, write production code, or scaffold project structure until a spec is written and the user has approved it — even for seemingly simple tasks.

Resolve the target repo first: if `git rev-parse --is-inside-work-tree` does not return `true`, read `$CLAUDE_PLUGIN_ROOT/skills/init/references/multi-repo-detection.md` and apply it — in a workspace, operate in the repo the user targets, asking which if ambiguous. Otherwise use `git rev-parse --show-toplevel`, including in a linked worktree or subdirectory. Both modes resolve paths from that root.

## Scaffold mode

When invoked with the `scaffold` argument, or when the user asks to set up the docs-first steering cascade, run this flow instead of the design conversation:

1. Scaffold in the resolved repo root — a cascade outside the target repo never auto-loads as steering.

How to install

The exact contents, by fingerprint
mdr add oprogramadorreal/optimus-claude/brainstorm@sha256:4d51da8bf37432e4

The line at the top of this page pins the label git:20260924.414aa59, 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.
