At a glance
A skill your agent uses when you want to build a project but don't have a spec yet and need to brainstorm the idea into a design doc structured for pipeline DOT generation.
- Works in 4 steps: Understand the Idea → Pipeline-Specific Questions → Present Design → …
- Starting from a vague idea
- SKILL.md covers What This Produces, Critical Context: What Is a…, Anti-Pattern: "This Is Too… and Process Flow, plus 5 more sections
- Instructions only: no scripts, shell commands, URLs or credentials in SKILL.md
What it does
Dotfile Brainstorm is an agent skill from harperreed/dotfiles. Use when you want to build a project but don't have a spec yet and need to brainstorm the idea into a design doc structured for pipeline DOT generation. Use when starting from a vague idea, project concept, or feature request that needs to become a headless autonomous build pipeline.
Its SKILL.md is about 2.3k 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, Architecture decision records and CI/CD. The repository describes itself as: Dotfiles. Managed by YADM.
When your agent uses it
- Starting from a vague idea
- Project concept
- Feature request that needs to become a headless autonomous build pipeline
Example prompts
- “/dotfile-brainstorm”
Workflow steps
4 steps, taken from the step headings in SKILL.md.
- Understand the Idea
- Pipeline-Specific Questions
- Present Design
- Write Design Doc
What it can do on your machine
Read from SKILL.md and the folder at commit b78c10e. 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 dot and markdown).
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
Dotfile Brainstorm loads about 2.3k tokens when it runs. Until then it costs about 76 tokens; SKILL.md has 916 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
Without a licence we can't republish the file, so here is its outline and opening line. It has 916 words (~2,312 tokens).
“Brainstorm a project idea into a design doc structured for pipeline DOT generation, then chain into dotfile-from-spec to produce the actual DOT file.”
