Interactive idea maturation — explore, research, shape raw ideas into actionable plans. Use when you have a rough idea and want to think it through.

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

Interactive idea maturation. You have a rough idea — this skill helps you explore it,
research what exists, challenge assumptions, and shape it into something concrete.

## Usage

`/brana:brainstorm [idea]`

- With idea: start exploring immediately
- Without idea: ask what's on your mind

## Principles

1. **The user leads.** They own the idea. You research, challenge, and structure — never hijack.
2. **Interactive always.** Every phase uses AskUserQuestion for direction. Never monologue.
3. **Research proactively.** When a tool, framework, or concept is mentioned, auto-fetch context.
4. **Diverge then converge.** First widen (explore angles), then narrow (pick direction).
5. **Concrete over abstract.** Push toward specifics — who, what, how, when.

## Step Registry

On entry, create a CC Task step registry. Follow the [guided-execution protocol](../_shared/guided-execution.md).

Register these steps: LOAD, SEED, EXPAND, DISCUSS, SHAPE, OUTPUT, EXTRACT, EVALUATE, PERSIST.

How to install

The exact contents, by fingerprint
mdr add martineserios/thebrana/brainstorm@sha256:19fcdaf23b587545

The line at the top of this page pins the label git:20260920.6326f37, 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.
