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…
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-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. This mode runs with nobody to ask: it sets no pace or cap, waits for no confirmation, and exits on a written options set. The nine-question machinery in `docs/graph/skills/brainstorm-socratic.md` belongs to the other mode, the one with a user in it; `brainstorm.mode-selection` in `docs/graph/protocols/brainstorm.md` says which mode you are in. ## 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 …

How to install
mdr add llopresto87/cypress/brainstorm-internal@sha256:99919f037c91cb76The line at the top of this page pins the label git:20260930.dd7591d, 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.
