SYSTEM DOCUMENTATION & REQUIREMENTS

What problem does it solve? Startup idea backlogs accumulate dozens of entries with no visibility into which ideas have been executed versus which are rotting. This Skill audits the execution gap by comparing the backlog against shipped skills, merged PRs, and deployed prototypes, then ranks the top 3 ideas to build next. ## Core Features & Use Cases - Execution-gap audit: Parses the idea backlog and screening results, then fuzzy-matches each idea against skill directories, GitHub PRs via the gh CLI, prototype records, and recent build logs to classify ideas as executed or unexecuted. - Priority scoring: Scores unexecuted ideas on narrative fit, operator fit (grounded in soul files), recency, and ecosystem-gap signals from a builder-map ecosystem feed, with optional theme filtering. - Interactive pick flow: Sends a force-reply notification asking which idea to build next, and a follow-up pick: reply marks the chosen idea in the backlog idempotently. - Use Case: Run a weekly audit to see that 40 backlog ideas exist, 12 were screened, 5 were executed, and receive a ranked shortlist of 3 ideas with execution paths (skill, prototype, or external PR). ## Quick Start Run the idea-pipeline skill to audit my startup idea backlog and tell me the top 3 ideas to build this week.

FAQPage Schema
How do I track which startup ideas have been built?▼

Run the audit to parse the idea backlog and fuzzy-match each idea against skill directory names, merged PR titles from the gh CLI, prototype records, and recent build logs. Each idea is classified as executed or unexecuted, and the gap count is reported.

How does the skill rank which idea to build next?▼

Unexecuted ideas are scored on narrative fit (0-4), operator fit from soul files (0-2), recency bonus (0-2), and ecosystem-gap bonus (0-3) from a builder-map ecosystem feed. The top 3 by descending score are surfaced with tie-breaks favoring underserved categories.

Can I filter the idea audit to a specific theme?▼

Yes, pass a theme value such as a vertical or keyword as the optional variable, and the audit filters scored ideas to those whose category or text matches. Leaving it empty scans the entire backlog.

What happens when I reply with a pick to the build-next prompt?▼

A pick: reply is intercepted before the audit runs. The skill resolves the selection by exact or fuzzy name match, or by backlog row number, appends a selected marker with the date to that row, and confirms via notification without dispatching any build.

Does the idea pipeline audit require network access or API keys?▼

No external network calls are needed in the main logic. PR scanning uses the gh CLI, which handles GitHub authentication internally, and narrative context comes from local memory files rather than web searches.

What happens if the idea backlog file does not exist?▼

The skill logs an IDEA_PIPELINE_SKIP entry and stops, since there is nothing to audit. The backlog is expected at memory/topics/startup-ideas.md and is typically populated by an idea-generation skill first.
