What it does
01 Brainstorm is an agent skill from ai-driven-dev/framework. Clarify a vague product or technical intent through natural discovery. Use when the user has a half-formed idea, ambiguous request, or asks to brainstorm, discover, refine, or clarify. Not for artifact gap scans, planning, or code.
Its SKILL.md is about 310 tokens, which your agent loads only when the skill is triggered. The skill folder holds 15 other files, including reference files and assets (for example `actions/01-capture.md`, `actions/02-probe.md` and `actions/03-integrate.md`).
It sits in Agent Workflows, covering Brainstorming. The repository describes itself as: Marketplace Framework AI-Driven Dev : Context Engineering, Plugins, Agents, Skills, Hooks, Templates, SDLC. The licence is MIT.
When your agent uses it
- The user has a half-formed idea
- Ambiguous request
- Asks to brainstorm
Example prompts
- “/01-brainstorm”
What it can do on your machine
Read from SKILL.md and the folder at commit 6e30640. It shows what the files ask for, not the result of running them.
Tool permissions
Pre-approves nothing: there is no allowed-tools line, so your agent's usual permission prompts apply.
From allowed-tools in the SKILL.md frontmatter.
Runs code
No scripts in the folder and no shell commands in SKILL.md (its code samples are mermaid).
From the folder's file list and the shell code blocks in SKILL.md.
Network
No URLs in SKILL.md.
From URLs in SKILL.md, links to its own repository left out.
Credentials
Names no API keys, tokens, secrets or passwords.
From names ending in _API_KEY, _TOKEN, _SECRET, _KEY or _PASSWORD in SKILL.md.
Context cost
01 Brainstorm loads about 305 tokens when it runs, and up to ~1.3k if it reads all its reference files. Until then it costs about 61 tokens; SKILL.md has 105 words of instructions outside code blocks.
Estimates: characters ÷ 4, the usual rule of thumb; real counts depend on the model's tokenizer. Scripts and assets cost tokens only if the agent reads them.
Safety
Auto-check passed
The automated check found no risky patterns in SKILL.md.
Automated static check — not a guarantee. Review scripts before installing. It scans the text of SKILL.md for risky patterns (piping downloads into a shell, reading credential files, hidden Unicode, destructive commands); files beside SKILL.md are not scanned.

Run the flow above. Read only the next action's file before running it.
| Action | Does |
|---|---|
| capture | restate the idea and pick what matters next |
| probe | ask the next useful questions |
| integrate | fold answers and decide whether to continue |
| finalize | produce the approved refined idea |
Transversal rules
- Clarify intent, never plan, build, or code.
- Ask only questions that can change what gets built.
- Flag assumptions as assumptions.
- State a leaning and its tradeoff when facts already point one way.
- Hide process words: no density, coverage, nodes, completeness, matrix, or frame unless the user asks for an audit.
- Wait after questions, approval, and persistence choices.
