Diverge wide on the options, then converge on evidence and cost, ending in one recommendation, a smallest experiment and a kill criterion. Use when a decision has several viable answers and the risk is settling on the first plausible one, or handing back an unranked menu. Auto-triggers on: "what are the options", "how else could we", "give me ideas", "explore approaches", "what would you suggest".
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 Two failure modes, opposite and equally common: converging on the first plausible idea, or producing twelve options and leaving the choice to someone else. This separates the two phases so neither happens. The `innovator` agent is the 10x-vision counterpart; this is the structured pass you run inline. Whatever comes out goes to the `devil` before it becomes code (`rules/risk.md`). ## 1. Ground it — 5 minutes, not skippable ```sh devil digest ``` Dreaming in a vacuum produces ideas that cannot be built here. Before generating anything, know: the stack, what already exists that could be reused, the actual constraint (time? correctness? a quota? someone's patience?), and what has already been tried and rejected — and why. Restate the problem in one sentence. Half of all brainstorms are answering a mis-stated question, and it is cheapest to catch that now. ## 2. Diverge — no judging, quantity first Generate at least **six** genuinely different options before evaluating any of them. Not six variations of one idea. Judging while generating kills the unusual options first, and the unusual one is the reason you ran this. …

How to install
mdr add univers42/claude-deal-with-the-devil/brainstorm@sha256:59a077a88bb2173dThe line at the top of this page pins the label git:20261017.fcaf2cc, 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.
