- Instructions only: no scripts, shell commands, URLs or credentials in SKILL.md
What it does
Brainstorm is an agent skill from catlog22/Claude-Code-Workflow. Chain-loaded brainstorming. 4-phase dual-mode with auto multi-role and single-role paths.
Its SKILL.md is about 130 tokens, which your agent loads only when the skill is triggered. The skill folder holds 2 other files (for example `chains/brainstorm.json`).
It sits in Agent Workflows, covering Brainstorming. The repository describes itself as: JSON-driven multi-agent cadence-team development framework with intelligent CLI orchestration (Gemini/Qwen/Codex), context-first architecture, and automated workflow execution. The licence is MIT.
When your agent uses it
- Tasks that involve Brainstorming
Example prompts
- “/brainstorm”
Requirements
- Pre-approved tools (allowed-tools): chain_loader(*)
What it can do on your machine
Read from SKILL.md and the folder at commit 07491b0. It shows what the files ask for, not the result of running them.
Tool permissions
Pre-approves these tools, so the agent can use them without asking each time:
chain_loader(*)
From allowed-tools in the SKILL.md frontmatter.
Runs code
No scripts in the folder and no shell commands in SKILL.md.
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
Brainstorm loads about 129 tokens when it runs. Until then it costs about 25 tokens; SKILL.md has 30 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.
SKILL.md
