SYSTEM DOCUMENTATION & REQUIREMENTS

💡 This Skill includes scripts (resource) and references (resource) components.

What problem does it solve? Raw ideas are often vague, untested, and overloaded with hidden assumptions. This Skill turns a rough concept into a sharp, validated direction by guiding you through structured ideation, stress-testing, and scoping before you commit to building anything. ## Core Features & Use Cases - Divergent Ideation: Restates your idea as a "How Might We" problem statement, asks sharpening questions, and generates 5-8 variations using lenses like inversion, constraint removal, and audience shift. - Convergent Evaluation: Clusters ideas into distinct directions and stress-tests them against user value, feasibility, and differentiation, explicitly surfacing hidden assumptions. - 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 your confirmation. - Use Case: You have a vague product idea like "help restaurants compete with delivery apps." Invoke the skill, and it guides you through questioning, generates six distinct variations, stress-tests the strongest ones, and delivers a concrete MVP plan with explicit trade-offs. ## Quick Start Ask the agent to help you refine or stress-test your idea by describing the concept you want to explore.

FAQPage Schema
How do I refine a vague product idea before building it?▼

Invoke the skill with your raw idea and it guides you through three phases: expanding the idea into 5-8 variations, stress-testing the strongest directions against user value and feasibility, and producing a concrete one-pager with MVP scope and explicit trade-offs.

How to stress-test assumptions in a new product idea?▼

The skill's Phase 2 explicitly surfaces hidden assumptions for each direction, categorizing what must be true, what could kill the idea, and what you are choosing to ignore. Each assumption gets paired with a validation strategy in the final output.

What ideation frameworks does this skill use?▼

It draws from SCAMPER, How Might We reframing, First Principles thinking, Jobs to Be Done, constraint-based ideation, pre-mortem analysis, and analogous inspiration. Frameworks are applied selectively based on the idea, not run mechanically.

Can this skill work with ideas inside an existing codebase?▼

Yes. When run inside a project, it scans the codebase for existing architecture, patterns, and constraints, then grounds idea variations in what actually exists, referencing specific files and technical limitations.

What are the limitations of conversational ideation skills?▼

The output quality depends on honest user input about target users and constraints. It produces a planning artifact, not implementation, and requires user confirmation before saving anything to docs/ideas/.
