brainstorm SKILL.md skillA

brainstorm from yonatangross/orchestkit is an agent skill: a SKILL.md folder an AI agent loads when a task calls for it.

Install it, pinned
mdr add yonatangross/orchestkit/brainstorm@v4.10.0

Pins v4.10.0 in mdr.lock. Pin the fingerprint instead.

Design exploration using parallel agents through a 7-phase process: topic analysis, memory context, divergent ideation (10+ ideas), feasibility filtering, evaluation with devil's advocate scoring (0-10 across 7 dimensions), synthesis of top approaches, and trade-off comparison. Supports open exploration, constrained design, comparison, quick ideation, and iterative optimization modes. Use when brainstorming ideas, exploring solutions, or comparing alternatives.

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 Ideas Into Designs

Host-neutral workflow. Invoke by skill name (`brainstorm`). Claude Code slash routing, YAML hook loaders, and `.claude/chain` live in `references/claude-code.md`.

Transform rough ideas into fully-formed designs through intelligent agent selection and structured exploration.

**Core principle:** Analyze the topic, select relevant agents dynamically, explore alternatives in parallel, present design incrementally.

## Argument Resolution

```python
TOPIC = "$ARGUMENTS"  # Full argument string, e.g., "API design for payments"
# $ARGUMENTS[0] is the first token (CC 2.1.59 indexed access)
```

## STEP -1: MCP Probe + Resume Check

Probe MCP servers once at skill start, store capabilities, and resume from any prior crashed session. Each phase emits a JSON handoff file consumed by the next.

Full procedure + handoff-file table: `Read("references/mcp-probe-resume.md")`

## STEP 0: Project Context Discovery

**BEFORE creating tasks or selecting agents**, detect the project tier. This becomes the **complexity ceiling** for all downstream decisions.

### Auto-Detection (scan codebase)

How to install

The exact contents, by fingerprint
mdr add yonatangross/orchestkit/brainstorm@sha256:10fb1bd5a1e27aad

The line at the top of this page pins the label v4.10.0, 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.
