Is the Ql Brainstorm skill free?

Yes. The skill itself is free from andyzengmath/quantum-loop. SkillProof publishes the install command and an independent test verdict at no cost.

What is the Ql Brainstorm SkillProof Score?

8.4/10 — installs cleanly 4/5, triggers reliably 5/5, output vs. baseline 9/10, docs & honesty 3/5.

How do I install Ql Brainstorm?

Copy the install command from this page, run it in your terminal, and restart Claude Code. Skills live in ~/.claude/skills/ (global) or .claude/skills/ inside a project.

Can I use Ql Brainstorm with Cursor, Copilot, Gemini CLI, Codex or other AI tools?

The SKILL.md format is native to Claude (Claude Code, Desktop, claude.ai). The instructions inside adapt to other assistants: Cursor rules, GitHub Copilot instructions, Windsurf rules, Custom GPTs, AGENTS.md for OpenAI Codex, and GEMINI.md for Google Gemini CLI — our conversion guides cover each, and the free converter on the tools page does the wrapping for you.

Q: Does Ql Brainstorm work with Claude Code?

We tested it with Claude Code 2.x (agent harness) on Jul 15, 2026. Verdict: Works with setup. The interview process itself is genuinely good -- live-ran its ambiguity-gate script and watched it correctly reject an under-specified first round (score 23, needs <20) and force a follow-up question before passing (score 16) -- but a bare `cp -r skills/ql-brainstorm` install is structurally broken: Phase 0/0B/4c immediately shell out to lib/phase-skip.sh, lib/ambiguity.sh, lib/handoff.sh and agents/spec-reviewer.md, none of which exist outside the full quantum-loop repo, and the project's own README says the supported install is the plugin marketplace or `--plugin-dir`, not a single skill folder.

What Ql Brainstorm does

Runs a structured, multi-round Socratic questioning process before any code is written, forces 2-3 compared alternatives, section-by-section design approval, and saves a design doc plus a machine-readable handoff for downstream quantum-loop pipeline skills. Triggers on brainstorm/explore-idea/design-this/think-through requests; depends on lib/*.sh and agents/ scripts that live outside the skill's own folder at the quantum-loop repo root.

How to install Ql Brainstorm

git clone https://github.com/andyzengmath/quantum-loop
cd quantum-loop
mkdir -p ~/.claude/skills
cp -r skills/ql-brainstorm ~/.claude/skills/ql-brainstorm

Skills live in ~/.claude/skills/ (global) or .claude/skills/ (per-project). Restart Claude Code after installing.

Commands — how to trigger Ql Brainstorm

/ql-brainstorm Gated Socratic feature-design interview, but requires the whole quantum-loop plugin, not just this folder

It also activates on plain-language prompts like these:

I want to add dark mode to my app, help me think it through first
Walk me through designing this feature before I start coding
Question me about this idea until the design is fully clear
