Usage Guidance
This skill is coherent for design work, but it assumes the agent can read the repository and may create and commit files. Before enabling, confirm you trust the agent with workspace read/write and git access. If you want to limit risk, require manual confirmation before any commits, run the skill in a sandbox branch/worktree, or review produced docs before merging. Also be aware the skill references other optional internal 'superpowers' skills — if those are enabled they may expand behavior (e.g., automated git actions).
Capability Analysis
Type: OpenClaw Skill
Name: toby-brainstorming
Version: 1.0.0
The brainstorming skill (SKILL.md) provides a structured workflow for an AI agent to assist with software design and requirements gathering. It focuses on iterative dialogue, proposing architectural approaches, and documenting designs in the local project directory (docs/plans/). The instructions are well-aligned with its stated purpose and do not contain any indicators of data exfiltration, malicious execution, or prompt injection attacks.
Capability Assessment
Purpose & Capability
Name and description (brainstorming into designs) match the instructions: understanding project context, asking clarifying questions, proposing approaches, and producing a design. The references to writing docs and committing to git are reasonable follow-ups for turning a validated design into artifact(s).
Instruction Scope
Instructions explicitly tell the agent to inspect the current project (files, docs, recent commits) and to write design files under docs/plans/ and commit them. This is within scope for a design-oriented skill, but it grants the agent permission to read repository contents and to create/commit files — users should be aware the skill expects repo read/write access and may invoke git operations.
Install Mechanism
Instruction-only skill with no install spec or external downloads. There is no code to write to disk beyond what the agent itself may create in the workspace, so install risk is minimal.
Credentials
The skill declares no environment variables, binaries, or config paths. The actions it requests (reading repo, writing docs, committing) align with typical workspace permissions and do not demand unrelated credentials.
Persistence & Privilege
always is false and the skill is user-invocable; it does not request elevated or persistent platform privileges. The only persistence implied is creating/committing files inside the project repository, which is appropriate for its purpose.
How to Use
- Make sure OpenClaw is installed (local or Docker)
- Run the install command in chat:
/install toby-brainstorming - After installation, invoke the skill by name or use
/toby-brainstorming - Provide required inputs per the skill's parameter spec and get structured output
Version History
v1.0.0
Initial release of the brainstorming skill for structured ideation and design:
- Guides users through refining creative ideas with targeted, incremental questions (one per message).
- Explores project context, user requirements, and constraints before proposing solutions.
- Presents 2–3 design approach options with trade-offs, recommends a path, and explains reasoning.
- Breaks designs into small, reviewable sections, seeking validation at each step.
- Documents validated designs to project plans and prepares for implementation with clear next steps.
