What it does
Brainstorming is an agent skill from dev-toolings/superpowers-symfony. Structured brainstorming for Symfony projects - explore requirements, identify components, and plan architecture collaboratively
Its SKILL.md is about 470 tokens, which your agent loads only when the skill is triggered. It is a single SKILL.md file with no bundled scripts.
It sits in Agent Workflows, covering Brainstorming. It works with Symfony. The repository describes itself as: Claude Code plugin for Symfony 7.4 LTS & 8.x — 44 skills, 7 AI subagents & 13 commands for API Platform v4, Doctrine ORM 3, TDD (Pest/PHPUnit), Messenger, security & DDD. The licence is MIT.
When your agent uses it
- Tasks that involve Brainstorming
Example prompts
- “/brainstorming”
Requirements
- Pre-approved tools (allowed-tools): Read, Glob, Grep
Workflow steps
5 steps, taken from the first numbered list in SKILL.md.
- Restate the goal in one sentence and list what is known, unknown and out of scope.
- Ask the open questions (users, data, permissions, failure cases) and note the answers.
- Map the feature onto Symfony components: entities, services and handlers, API resources, voters, messages.
- Propose two or three designs with their tradeoffs and recommend one.
- Record the chosen design, the rejected options and the open risks, then hand off to writing-plans.
What it can do on your machine
Read from SKILL.md and the folder at commit 459bcd0. 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:
ReadGlobGrep
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
Brainstorming loads about 468 tokens when it runs. Until then it costs about 36 tokens; SKILL.md has 234 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.

Brainstorming (Symfony)
Use when
- A feature request is still vague and the requirements are not settled.
- Several designs are possible and the tradeoffs must be compared before choosing.
- You need to know which Symfony components a feature touches (entities, handlers, API resources, security, async) before planning.
- The decision must be made before a plan is written; once it is, hand off to
writing-plans.
Default workflow
- Restate the goal in one sentence and list what is known, unknown and out of scope.
- Ask the open questions (users, data, permissions, failure cases) and note the answers.
- Map the feature onto Symfony components: entities, services and handlers, API resources, voters, messages.
- Propose two or three designs with their tradeoffs and recommend one.
- Record the chosen design, the rejected options and the open risks, then hand off to
writing-plans.
Guardrails
- Do not write code or a step-by-step plan here: brainstorming ends at a chosen design.
- Prefer the patterns already present in the project over new ones.
- Ask one question at a time instead of guessing a missing requirement.
- Keep rejected options in the notes so the decision stays auditable.
Progressive disclosure
- Use this file for execution posture and risk controls.
- Open references when deep implementation details are needed.
Output contract
- The goal, scope and answered questions.
- The components involved and the recommended design with its tradeoffs.
- Open risks, ready to feed
writing-plans.

Questions about Brainstorming
What does Brainstorming do?
Structured brainstorming for Symfony projects - explore requirements, identify components, and plan architecture collaboratively. Brainstorming is an agent skill from dev-toolings/superpowers-symfony.
When should I use Brainstorming?
Brainstorming fits situations like: tasks that involve Brainstorming.
How do I install Brainstorming in Claude Code?
Run `npx skills add dev-toolings/superpowers-symfony --skill brainstorming -a claude-code`. Or copy the skill folder (content/skills/brainstorming in dev-toolings/superpowers-symfony) into .claude/skills/brainstorming in your project. Claude Code loads it when a task matches its description.
How do I install Brainstorming in Codex?
Run `npx skills add dev-toolings/superpowers-symfony --skill brainstorming -a codex`. Or copy the skill folder (content/skills/brainstorming in dev-toolings/superpowers-symfony) into .agents/skills/brainstorming in your project. Codex loads it when a task matches its description.
Can I use Brainstorming in Cursor, Gemini CLI or GitHub Copilot?
Cursor, Gemini CLI, GitHub Copilot and OpenCode also load SKILL.md folders. With the skills CLI, run `npx skills add dev-toolings/superpowers-symfony --skill brainstorming -a cursor` (or -a gemini-cli, github-copilot or opencode for the others). To copy it by hand, put the folder in .cursor/skills/brainstorming, .gemini/skills/brainstorming, .github/skills/brainstorming and .opencode/skills/brainstorming in your project.
What does Brainstorming need to run?
SKILL.md names no scripts, command-line tools or credentials: Brainstorming is instructions for the agent only. Its frontmatter pre-approves these tools: Read, Glob, Grep.
Does Brainstorming access the network?
SKILL.md contains no URLs. Any network use would come from the scripts or tools the agent runs. This is read from the text; nothing was executed.
Is Brainstorming safe to install?
Our automated static check of SKILL.md found no risky patterns, such as piping downloads into a shell, reading credential files or hidden Unicode. It is not a guarantee. Review the folder before installing.
What licence does Brainstorming use?
Brainstorming is published under the MIT licence (the repository's licence). It allows redistribution, so the full SKILL.md is shown on this page.
How many tokens does Brainstorming use?
About 468 tokens (SKILL.md is roughly 1.9k characters). Agents keep only the skill's name and description in context until a task matches; then they load SKILL.md in full.
