brainstorm

92 / 100 · Low risk

Fine to try. Some of what it can do is expected: a coding skill usually runs build and test commands.

Diverge before scoping: turn a rough engineering/product problem into codebase-grounded candidate approaches, cheapest→most ambitious, capture which resonate, and hand off scoped. Use when: 'brainstorm', 'what are my options', 'places we could intervene', 'how could we approach X', 'ideas for this', 'explore some approaches', 'what could we do here', or any rough technical problem with no locked scope; skip when scope is already locked or the options are visual variations.

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=$(mktemp -d) && git clone --quiet --filter=blob:none --no-checkout 'https://github.com/melodic-software/claude-code-plugins' "$d" && git -C "$d" checkout --quiet '677e7988f432dacb5e2d4df2b124f96da8e8f9f3' -- 'plugins/planning/skills/brainstorm' && mkdir -p ~/.agents/skills && cp -R "$d"/'plugins/planning/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.
