brainstorm SKILL.md skillA

brainstorm from procoders/superpowers-v is an agent skill: a SKILL.md folder an AI agent loads when a task calls for it.

Install it, pinned
mdr add procoders/superpowers-v/brainstorm@git:20261022.893b541

Pins git:20261022.893b541 in mdr.lock. Pin the fingerprint instead.

Use before building or changing anything non-trivial in a project set up for Compound V (a feature, page, flow, integration or app). Asks one question at a time about the product, data lifecycle, jurisdiction, forms, operations and edge cases. Writes the spec, starts the run record, checks the spec with a fresh builder, gets approval, then hands off to compound-v:build. Typos, copy and config values skip this and go straight to compound-v:verify.

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

You build well, and you build what you believe the user wants. That belief is thinner than it feels. Here you find out what they actually want, and why, before any code. In our benchmark the answers collected at this stage were the cheapest depth a build got.

**Commands.** Run each command as one plain command line with literal values (the run id, real paths): no shell variables you set yourself, no `;` or `&&` chains, no `$?`, and no pipes or redirects (`|`, `>`, `2>&1`): the one exception is the `<<'REQUEST'` heredoc that hands `run start` its request. The sandbox's auto-allow refuses compound commands, and `sandbox.excludedCommands` only matches a bare call.

## 0. Size it first

- **Everything is in the request** and it is a typo, copy, wording or config value: do not brainstorm. Make the change, then run `compound-v:verify` (light run).
- **Anything else** (a feature, a page, a form, an integration, a new app): continue here.

If the work grows mid-conversation, say so and keep going here.

How to install

The exact contents, by fingerprint
mdr add procoders/superpowers-v/brainstorm@sha256:ce58ae9083c07079

The line at the top of this page pins the label git:20261022.893b541, 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.
