brainstorm-internal skillA
brainstorm-internal is agent-read markdown (skill) from llopresto87/cypress: The divergence technique CYPRESS applies to itself, with no user in the loop — generating genuinely distinct options against evidence already in hand, stating what would have to be true for each, and naming the one fact that would kill each. Use when a choice is the session's to make and the user has nothing to add to it - filling grill.md §7, assembling an ADR's rejected alternatives, choosing between two implementations that satisfy the same contract, or deciding how to sequence work. The user.
Indexed from public GitHub and served as immutable, content-addressed versions. Install it pinned to an exact SHA-256 with the mdr CLI, and every file is verified against the hash recorded here before it reaches your agent. The deterministic audit below grades the latest version, and the same file always earns the same grade.
What the file says
# brainstorm-internal Some choices are not the user's. Which of two implementations satisfies a contract better, how to sequence four increments, what an ADR should record as rejected — the user has nothing to add, and asking costs a turn and gets "you decide". This is the divergence technique for those. **There is no user here.** No questions, no pacing, no cap, no confirmation to wait for. The nine-question machinery in `docs/graph/skills/brainstorm-socratic.md` is not a stricter version of this skill — it is the other mode, and it does not apply when there is nobody to ask. The exit is a written options set, not an agreement. ## The failure this exists to prevent **A session brainstorming against itself generates one real option and two strawmen.** It has already, quietly, decided; what it produces is the decision plus two alternatives shaped to lose. The output looks exactly like genuine divergence — three options, a comparison, a pick — and an ADR built on it records rejected alternatives nobody ever considered. Every rule below exists because of that one failure. ## The method 1. **Write the decision as a question with at least two answers you could …
