SYSTEM DOCUMENTATION & REQUIREMENTS

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

What problem does it solve?

This Skill helps you refine a vague or early-stage idea into a clear, actionable concept by guiding divergent ideation, then converging on a direction you can validate and build.

Core Features & Use Cases

  • Interactive divergent expansion: Restates the idea as a How Might We problem, asks 3–5 sharpening questions, and generates 5–8 meaningful variations to uncover stronger angles.
  • Convergent evaluation & stress-testing: Clusters resonant options into 2–3 distinct directions and stress-tests them for user value, feasibility, and differentiation while surfacing hidden assumptions.
  • Sharpen & produce a one-pager: Outputs a structured markdown one-pager (problem statement, recommended direction, assumptions to validate, MVP scope, and a deliberate Not Doing list) after user confirmation.

Quick Start

Invoke idea-refine with your raw idea so the agent asks the sharpening questions and then produces an actionable one-pager you can validate.

Frequently Asked Questions about idea-refine

High-intent search queries and answers about installing and using this skill.

FAQPage Schema
How do I refine a rough product idea into a build-ready concept?▼

To refine a rough product idea, you restate it as a How Might We statement, answer sharpening questions, generate 5-8 variations, cluster them into 2-3 directions, and output a markdown one-pager with MVP scope. This structured divergent and convergent thinking turns vague ideas into actionable concepts.

What is assumption testing and problem framing in early product scoping?▼

Assumption testing and problem framing in product scoping involve stress-testing clustered idea directions for user value, feasibility, and differentiation while surfacing hidden assumptions. This process ensures your MVP scope targets the right validation targets before development begins.

How do I scope an MVP and create a Not Doing list for feature planning?▼

You scope an MVP and create a Not Doing list by converging on a recommended direction after divergent ideation. The process outputs a structured markdown one-pager that explicitly defines what to build and what to deliberately exclude for sharper validation.

Can I use divergent and convergent thinking for strategic evaluation of process ideas?▼

Yes, you can use divergent and convergent thinking for strategic evaluation of process ideas. The interactive flow restates any raw product or process idea as a How Might We statement, generates multiple variations, and stress-tests clustered directions for feasibility and user value.

What is the best way to turn vague ideation into actionable MVP planning?▼

The best way to turn vague ideation into actionable MVP planning is through an interactive flow that collects success and constraint inputs via sharpening questions. It generates 5-8 meaningful variations, clusters them into distinct directions, and produces a one-pager after confirmation.

When do I need structured idea refinement instead of building immediately?▼

You need structured idea refinement when you have early ideation, feature scoping, or plan stress-testing requirements but lack sharper positioning, constraints, and validation targets. It prevents premature building by surfacing hidden assumptions and defining a deliberate Not Doing list.
