SYSTEM DOCUMENTATION & REQUIREMENTS

💡 This Skill includes references (resource) components.

What problem does it solve?

Collects, clarifies, and evaluates new project ideas at the ideation stage to determine which concepts are worth pursuing.

Core Features & Use Cases

  • Governance-driven ideation workflow: plan, review, execute, and re-verify to ensure disciplined decision-making.
  • Idea capture to artifact generation: convert ideas into a structured brief (idea-brief.md) using templates in references.
  • Evaluation-ready inputs: leverage the provided evaluation framework to compare and filter candidates.

Quick Start

Begin by defining the problem, capture at least three candidate ideas, and generate an idea-brief at .claude/01-ideation/idea-brief.md using the templates in references.

FAQPage Schema
How do I structure and evaluate new project ideas during brainstorming?

Structured ideation captures problems, generates at least three candidate ideas, and applies an evaluation framework to filter concepts. This governance-driven workflow ensures disciplined decision-making by enforcing plan, review, execute, and re-verify steps.

What is the best way to turn raw brainstorming concepts into a validated project brief?

Converting brainstorming concepts into a validated project brief requires defining the core problem, capturing candidate ideas, and generating a structured idea-brief.md artifact. This process uses templates in references to enable reproducible project evaluation.

Can I use this ideation workflow for early lifecycle project management governance?

This ideation workflow supports early lifecycle project management by automating structured collection and validation of new concepts. It enforces governance steps from planning through re-verification to determine which ideas are worth pursuing.

How do I generate an idea-brief template for project evaluation?

To generate an idea-brief template, define the problem, capture at least three candidate ideas, and output the brief to the .claude directory. Templates in references provide the structure needed to create reproducible evaluation-ready inputs.

Why does my project ideation process need a governance workflow?

Project ideation needs a governance workflow to ensure disciplined decision-making before execution. Enforcing structured review and re-verification steps prevents poorly validated concepts from advancing, ensuring only evaluated ideas become projects.

Are there limitations to using structured templates for idea evaluation?

Structured templates for idea evaluation require defining a clear problem and capturing at least three candidate ideas before generation. The framework focuses on early lifecycle validation, meaning it does not handle downstream execution or post-launch project tracking.
