SYSTEM DOCUMENTATION & REQUIREMENTS

💡 This Skill includes scripts (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 startup idea or a feature request for an existing codebase. Invoke the skill, and it grounds variations in your actual architecture, pushes back on weak directions, and delivers a concrete plan you can act on. ## Quick Start Ask the agent to help you refine your idea by saying "Help me refine this idea" or "Ideate on [your concept]" and it will guide you through the three-phase process.

FAQPage Schema
How do I refine a vague idea into an actionable plan?▼

Invoke the skill with your idea and it guides you through three phases: expanding the idea into 5-8 variations, stress-testing the strongest directions against value and feasibility, then producing a markdown one-pager with MVP scope and key assumptions.

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 inside an existing codebase?▼

Yes. When run inside a project, it uses Glob, Grep, and Read to scan existing architecture, patterns, and constraints, then grounds idea variations in what actually exists and references specific files when relevant.

What output does an ideation session produce?▼

The final output is a markdown one-pager containing a problem statement, recommended direction, key assumptions to validate, MVP scope, a Not Doing list, and open questions. It is saved to docs/ideas/ only after you confirm.

When should I not use structured ideation?▼

Skip it when the idea is already well-defined with validated assumptions and a clear user, or when you need immediate execution rather than exploration. The skill is designed for the fuzzy front end before committing to a plan.
