User asks for design, planning, or approach exploration before implementation. Covers new features, components, refactors, or architecture decisions. Creates design docs and proposes approaches with trade-offs.
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 — Design Exploration Turn ideas into fully formed designs through collaborative dialogue. When triggered, present a design before implementation. The design scales to complexity: short (few sentences) for simple tasks, detailed (pages) for architectural changes. Always get approval before proceeding to code. ## When to Activate - User explicitly asks: "design this", "how should i build", "what's the approach", "plan this out" - User describes a feature/component/refactor and asks for guidance before coding - User wants to explore trade-offs or multiple approaches to a problem ## Process 1. **Explore context** — check relevant code files, docs, recent commits 2. **Ask clarifying questions** — one at a time, prefer multiple choice, understand: purpose, constraints, success criteria, scope 3. **Propose 2-3 approaches** — name each, describe trade-offs, state your recommendation 4. **Present design** — scale to complexity (1-2 sentences for trivial, multiple sections for architecture), ask approval after each section 5. **Get approval** — wait for user buy-in before writing code ## Design Principles - **One question at a time** — don't overwhelm …

How to install
mdr add benkapner/claude-code-basecamp/brainstorming@sha256:dd482beba0b994c2The line at the top of this page pins the label git:20260901.604d4e3, 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.
