What problem does it solve? Raw feature ideas often go straight to PRD or implementation without market research, business validation, or scope discipline, causing rework and misaligned priorities. This Skill turns a rough idea into a structured, research-backed _idea.md spec before any PRD work begins. ## Core Features & Use Cases - Interactive Clarification: Asks 3-6 targeted multiple-choice questions (one at a time) to refine problem, target user, scope, and success criteria. - Parallel Research: Combines codebase exploration with web research on competitors, market data, and technical approaches. - Business & Strategy Analysis: Applies business analyst and product strategist personas to score the idea on impact, reach, frequency, differentiation, defensibility, and feasibility, plus an opportunity scan with alternatives. - Multi-Advisor Council Debate: Runs a 3-5 advisor debate on scope, priority, risks, and trade-offs, then records the scope decision as an ADR. - Use Case: A product manager has an idea for smart notification batching. The Skill interviews them, researches the market, debates trade-offs with a virtual council, and produces an approved _idea.md with KPIs, feature table, out-of-scope list, and ADRs ready for PRD creation. ## Quick Start Ask the AI to expand your feature idea into a structured idea spec, for example: "Use the idea factory to explore adding automatic schedule conflict detection for musicians."
