description	You have an idea or a blank page and want to think it through. 3 silent stances, then routes
argument-hint	[topic] [--research] [--text]
allowed-tools	["Read","Write","Edit","Bash","Grep","Glob","Agent","AskUserQuestion"]

Brainstorm session that ends with an approved artifact, run in 1 of 3 stances chosen silently to fit the opening: guided (recommendation-first questions and 2 to 3 approaches, for concrete decisions), generative (1 intake batch, then 4 to 6 pre-checked named options the user reacts to, for blank pages), or sounding board (free-form creative collaboration with content-triggered capture, for thinking out loud). Superpowers brainstorming discipline stays the floor: hard gate (no implementation until the artifact is approved), scope check before detail, self-review, and a user review gate on the written doc. Parallel researcher subagents stay on tap and a local browser companion shows mockups and diagrams for questions better seen than read. Exits are stance-keyed (GO fork or recap-confirm); only exit-confirmed items are promoted to Decisions, and park is a first-class exit with resumable session notes.

Output: .planning/brainstorms/{slug}-{date}/BRAINSTORM.md (+ research/ + screens/ + SESSION-NOTES.md), committed, then routed through exactly 3 exits: promote to /ferrox-discuss-phase, seed a milestone via /ferrox-new-milestone, or park (optionally /ferrox-capture --backlog).

Boundary: /ferrox-explore is codebase-grounded Socratic ideation; /ferrox-brainstorm is topic ideation with stances.

Flags:

• --research: fire 2 to 4 parallel researcher subagents up front, seeded by the topic (in the sounding-board stance this means a visible pre-read before the first reply, never an auto-fire mid-conversation). The same research fires mid-session whenever the discussion hits a genuine unknown.
• --text: plain-text prompts instead of AskUserQuestion, for non-Claude runtimes.

Accepts an optional topic argument: /ferrox-brainstorm pricing model for the API tier

Arguments: $ARGUMENTS

Strip --research if present (enables research mode) and --text if present (enables TEXT_MODE). The remainder is the brainstorm topic; if empty, ask for one.

Execute end-to-end.
