What problem does it solve? Raw ideas often stay vague, untested, or over-scoped, leading teams to build the wrong thing. This Skill turns a rough concept into a sharp, validated direction by forcing structured exploration, assumption-surfacing, and explicit trade-offs before any implementation begins. ## Core Features & Use Cases - Divergent Exploration: Restates the idea as a "How Might We" statement, asks sharpening questions, and generates 5-8 variations using lenses like inversion, constraint removal, and simplification. - Convergent Evaluation: Clusters resonant ideas into 2-3 directions, stress-tests them on user value, feasibility, and differentiation, and surfaces hidden assumptions that could kill the idea. - Actionable Output: Produces a markdown one-pager with problem statement, recommended direction, key assumptions, MVP scope, and a "Not Doing" list, saved to docs/ideas/ after confirmation. - Use Case: A founder with a vague app concept invokes the skill, gets pushed through sharpening questions and alternative framings, and walks away with a scoped MVP definition and explicit list of what not to build. ## Quick Start Ask the agent to help you refine your idea by describing the concept and saying "help me refine this idea" or "ideate on" followed by your concept.
