think-brainwriting — independently scanned and version-tracked by SaferSkills.
SaferSkills independently audited think-brainwriting (Agent Skill) and scored it 91/100 (green). The audit ran 55 deterministic rules across Security, Supply Chain, Maintenance, Transparency, and Community; it found 1 high-severity and 0 lower-severity findings. The full rule-by-rule trace and per-finding evidence are below. Free, methodology-open.

A fenced bash/python block in SKILL.md carries a natural-language imperative — "now run this", "execute the following command" — directing the agent to execute the fenced content. What looks like documentation becomes an executable payload the agent may run without ever asking you.

Verbal group brainstorming reliably underperforms: only one person talks at a time (production blocking), and the room anchors on the first speaker. Brainwriting removes those losses by generating ideas silently and in parallel, then building on each other's written ideas. This skill adapts that for solo-plus-AI: produce several genuinely independent idea streams (distinct angles, generated without contaminating each other), then run a build-on round and consolidate into a shortlist. The output is an idea pool. The key is keeping the streams independent first; collapsing into one stream throws away the mechanism that does the work.
When asked to brainwrite, follow these steps:

Before finalizing, verify:
Tier S. Across decades of replicated studies, silent parallel generation (nominal groups, brainwriting) outproduces traditional verbal brainstorming in quantity and quality of ideas, because it removes production blocking and anchoring (Diehl & Stroebe 1987; Mullen, Johnson & Salas 1991 meta-analysis; methods from Rohrbach 1968 and Delbecq & Van de Ven 1971). The strong evidence is for human groups; the solo-plus-AI adaptation transfers the mechanism (independent parallel streams plus build-on) but does not inherit a measured AI effect size.
