brainstorming from jetbrains/thinkrail is an agent skill: a SKILL.md folder an AI agent loads when a task calls for it.
mdr add jetbrains/thinkrail/brainstorming@git:20261013.5ab283aPins git:20261013.5ab283a in mdr.lock. Pin the fingerprint instead.

Use before implementing a feature, a change in behavior, or a bug fix — however small. Not for questions, checks, or edits that change no behavior (typos, documentation or configuration only, mechanical refactors).
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
# Brainstorming ## Interview before you build - Every feature, behavior change, or bug fix goes through this workflow. Depth scales with the change and never drops to zero: a small change gets one short round and a few lines of task-spec. - The aim is a design the user understands and has accepted, recorded in a spec-graph `task-spec`, built, and then reflected in the durable specs — not a speculative implementation. - Do not implement until the design is accepted. An explicit design or acceptance criteria in the request count as approval of what they cover; build on them and never re-ask them. ## Doc map - `fixing-a-bug.md` — the bug branch (step 4). - `amending-specs.md` — bringing the durable specs in line with what was built (step 9); the tail of both paths and where this workflow ends. ## The workflow 1. **Orient.** Use the spec-graph skill to find the specs that govern the area; read code second to confirm implementation details. Do not read unrelated specs. Note any non-obvious decision the change touches whose *why* is not recorded — it becomes a question in step 6. …

How to install
mdr add jetbrains/thinkrail/brainstorming@sha256:511bb3920e9ab682The line at the top of this page pins the label git:20261013.5ab283a, 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.
