You MUST use this skill before /pm when work is ambiguous, scope is unclear, or multiple approaches exist. Explores problem space, proposes 2-3 approaches with trade-offs, and produces an approved spec document that feeds into both issue creation (/pm) and implementation planning (/cdt). Triggers: brainstorm, explore idea, think through, design approach, what should we build, explore options, weigh approaches, compare solutions, needs help deciding between 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
# Brainstorm: Pre-Creation Design Exploration Explore the problem space, clarify requirements, and converge on a design direction **before** creating issues. This skill produces a **spec document** — capturing intent, trade-offs, the chosen approach, and enough detail for both issue creation (`/pm`) and implementation planning (`/cdt`). ## When to Use Use this skill when: - The work is ambiguous — user knows *what* they want but not *how* - Multiple valid approaches exist and trade-offs need discussion - Scope is unclear — could be one issue or an epic with sub-issues - The problem domain is unfamiliar and needs exploration first - A request is large enough that jumping straight to issue creation would produce a vague ticket Do NOT use for: - Clear, well-scoped bugs (go directly to `/pm`) - Simple chores or dependency updates - Work that already has a design document or spec ## Hard Gate <HARD-GATE> Do NOT invoke `/pm`, `/cdt`, create any GitHub issue, or take any implementation action until: 1. You have proposed approaches and the user has selected one 2. You have presented a spec document and the user has approved it …

How to install
mdr add rube-de/cc-skills/brainstorm@sha256:30342beaad06696dThe line at the top of this page pins the label v1.0, 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.
