Iterative brainstorming skill for turning fuzzy ideas into approved tree documents. Diverges into branches, deepens and prunes them over many rounds, saves a tree doc. Run breakdown on the tree to distill it into a spec via guided questions. SKIP: a content outline to co-create, or one already approved and awaiting finished content (use foundry:create — create co-creates the outline, foundry:creator writes the finished artifact; brainstorm is for idea generation before an outline exists); a cod…
Works with any agent that supports SKILL.md skills.

Install
Paste this into your terminal. It downloads exactly the version we scanned, not whatever is newest.
if [ -e ~/.agents/skills/'brainstorm' ] || [ -L ~/.agents/skills/'brainstorm' ]; then echo 'A skill folder named brainstorm already exists — not replacing it' >&2; false; else d=$(mktemp -d) && git clone --quiet --filter=blob:none --no-checkout 'https://github.com/Borda/AI-Rig' "$d" && git -C "$d" checkout --quiet '1f354b2c58faa1f58debf3b25f6634b1e161db9a' -- 'plugins/cc_foundry/skills/brainstorm' && mkdir -p ~/.agents/skills && cp -R "$d"/'plugins/cc_foundry/skills/brainstorm' ~/.agents/skills/'brainstorm' && rm -rf "$d"; fi
Codex reads ~/.agents/skills directly. For Claude Code, Cursor, Copilot, Gemini CLI, Antigravity or OpenCode, also link it. For Claude Code: ln -s ~/.agents/skills/'brainstorm' ~/.claude/skills/'brainstorm' (other agents: ~/.cursor/skills, ~/.copilot/skills, ~/.gemini/skills, ~/.gemini/config/skills, ~/.config/opencode/skills). Or install through the finder skill, which does both.
