To check idea overlap with existing tracked repos, submit a raw idea description to trigger an overlap analysis against your products directory and configuration, surfacing specific matches with rationale.

Idea routing in a product management workflow evaluates a new idea against existing products and repos, then presents routing options like creating a new product or adding to an existing one without executing the decision.

To start the idea routing pipeline, describe your idea in one to five sentences, which initiates the overlap analysis and prepares the idea context for downstream steps by recording it in a specified markdown file.

No, the idea overlap analysis does not automatically decide where to route your project; it surfaces matches with specific rationale and presents all routing options, leaving the final decision to you.

This workflow handles recording raw ideas by capturing the idea and its intent, then writing this context into a markdown file within the product's directory structure to prepare for downstream pipeline steps.

You need existing products and tracked repos configured in your environment for the overlap analysis to function effectively, as it relies on reading these to determine accurate routing options.
