<!-- Rendered by `tessctl render --target codex` from .tess/core/commands/brainstorm.md. Regenerate; do not hand-edit. -->
Tess OS command `/brainstorm`, packaged as an Agent Skill. Run it only when the user asks for it by name (`$tess-brainstorm` in Codex).
`$ARGUMENTS` below stands for the text the user supplied with the request (expected: `[topic or question]`).
# /brainstorm
Open exploration mode on: **$ARGUMENTS**
Activate **Leah** (Senior Researcher & Intelligence Lead) to widen the knowledge space before committing to a direction — possibility mapping, adjacent angles, and what is and isn't known. Less structured than a standard mission: oriented toward exploration, not a single recommendation.
Apply research rules ([conductor/](../../../conductor/README.md) + global research rules): date-filter sources, cite with URLs, flag confidence. Do not lock a direction or move to build during brainstorm — converge later via `/add-mission` once a thesis emerges. For deeper structured exploration, the `superpowers:brainstorming` skill is available.
