brainstorm

Pre-production ideation on the canvas. Use when the user wants to develop an idea, script, campaign, character, or storyboard concept BEFORE generating anything — invoked via /brainstorm or when they ask to "brainstorm", "develop the idea", "帮我想想", or explore directions. Converges one decision at a time and lands every confirmed element on the canvas as a stage; defers all generation until the direction is locked.

Markdown instructions
A SKILL.md file the model loads on demand, so it only costs tokens when a request actually matches.
Works with any LLM
AI skills are plain Markdown, not provider-specific code, so this works with GPT, Claude, Gemini, Grok, or a local model.
Self-contained
Everything the model needs lives in the instructions — no extra files to sync.
Open source
Published by jtydhr88 on GitHub. Read the source before you install it.

Installation

Install the Brainstorm AI skill in TypingMind to use it with any LLM, or drop it into another agent that reads SKILL.md.

Install in TypingMind

TypingMind installs a skill straight from its GitHub folder — it reads SKILL.md, bundles the resource files, and stores the result locally.

Open the app and go to Plugins → Skills.
Choose "Install from GitHub".
Paste the skill folder URL below and confirm.
https://github.com/jtydhr88/ComfyTV/tree/main/skills/brainstorm
Enable the skill in any chat where you want it available.

Plugins → Skills → Add skill → From GitHub URL, then paste the folder URL and press Continue.

Install in another agent

Any agent that reads the Agent Skills format can use this skill — copy the folder into that agent's skills directory.

Claude Code — .claude/skills

git clone --depth 1 https://github.com/jtydhr88/ComfyTV.git /tmp/ComfyTV
mkdir -p .claude/skills
cp -r /tmp/ComfyTV/skills/brainstorm .claude/skills/brainstorm

Restart Claude Code after copying so it picks up the new skill.

Use it in TypingMind

Enable Brainstorm in any TypingMind chat and the model takes it from there. Its name and description sit in the system prompt, and the moment a request matches, the model loads the full instructions itself — you never invoke it by hand, and it costs no tokens until it is actually used.

The model loads Brainstorm on its own as soon as a request matches it.

Works with any AI model

AI skills are plain Markdown instructions rather than provider-specific code, so Brainstorm is not tied to the model it was written for. Install it once in TypingMind and use it with GPT-5, Claude, Gemini, Grok, DeepSeek, Mistral, Llama, or a local model you run yourself — all on your own API keys.

Loaded only when it is needed
The system prompt carries just the name and description. The instructions are fetched on the first matching request, so an idle skill costs nothing.
Switch models mid-chat
Because the skill is instructions rather than code, changing model does not break it — the next model reads the same SKILL.md.

Skill instructions

This is the SKILL.md content the model loads. Read it before installing — a skill is instructions your model will follow.

Brainstorm

Purpose

Turn a vague idea into locked creative direction, materialized as canvas stages — before any credits or GPU time are spent on generation.

Rules

One question per round. Ask exactly one decision at a time with ask_user (2–4 concrete options, allow_other: true). Never dump a questionnaire into prose.
Maximize distinction between options. Vary audience, structure, format, or pacing — not surface adjectives. "Neon noir vs pastel documentary" beats "blue vs slightly bluer".
Confirmed decisions land on the canvas immediately. After each answer, write the element to the canvas so nothing lives only in chat:
- premise / logline / world rules → a text stage (add_stage, kind text) with the content in main_prompt
- shot lists / beats → a storyboard or sequence stage when available, else numbered text stages
- characters → one text stage per character (name, role, look, voice)
- group related stages (graph_edit create_group) and title them
Mark states as you go. Use graph_edit op set_review: approved once the user confirms an element, review for drafts awaiting their call, archived for rejected directions you keep for reference. Never delete a rejected option the user might revisit.
Defer generation. Do not run image/video stages during brainstorming. Only after the user confirms the direction is locked, propose the first generation step — and respect the chat's run mode.
Save durable preferences. When the user states a standing choice ("always 16:9", "stay in this palette"), store it with remember.

Flow

Restate the starting idea in one sentence; confirm with ask_user.
Loop: pick the highest-leverage open decision → ask → land the answer on canvas → mark approved.
When premise, audience, format and key beats are all approved, summarize the locked direction in chat and list the canvas stages created.
Offer the first production step (which stage to generate first).

Frequently asked questions

What does the Brainstorm AI skill do?

Why use Brainstorm on TypingMind?

Because you install it once and use it with any model. Brainstorm is plain Markdown rather than provider-specific code, so the same skill runs on GPT-5, Claude, Gemini, Grok, or a local model — and you can switch model mid-chat without it breaking. TypingMind runs on your own API keys, so you pay providers directly instead of a per-seat subscription, and your skills and chats stay in your own storage.

How do I install Brainstorm in TypingMind?

Open Plugins → Skills → Install from GitHub in TypingMind and paste https://github.com/jtydhr88/ComfyTV/tree/main/skills/brainstorm. TypingMind reads its SKILL.md and installs it as a skill you can enable per chat.

Which AI models can use Brainstorm?

Any model you connect in TypingMind. AI skills are plain Markdown instructions rather than provider-specific code, so GPT, Claude, Gemini, Grok, and local models can all load this skill when a request matches it.

How many AI models can I use with Brainstorm?

As many as you like. As long as a model supports skills, you can use Brainstorm with it — GPT, Claude, Gemini, Grok, DeepSeek, Mistral, Llama and more — all on TypingMind with your own API keys.

Is the Brainstorm AI skill free?

Yes. It is published on GitHub by jtydhr88 under the MIT license. You only pay your own AI provider for the tokens you use.

What are AI skills?

An AI skill is a reusable instruction bundle that teaches an AI model how to do one specific task. It follows the open Agent Skills format: a SKILL.md file with a name and description, plus any scripts, templates or reference files the model may need. The model reads the instructions only when your request matches the skill, so an installed skill costs nothing until it is used.

How are AI skills different from plugins or MCP servers?

A plugin or MCP server gives a model new tools to call — code that runs somewhere and returns a result. An AI skill gives the model knowledge and process instead: how to approach a task, which steps to follow, what good output looks like. Skills are plain Markdown, so they need no server, no API key and no runtime, and they work with any model.
