What problem does it solve? Raw ideas often stay vague, untested, or over-scoped, leading teams to build the wrong thing. This Skill turns a rough concept into a sharp, validated one-pager with explicit assumptions, MVP scope, and a clear "Not Doing" list before any code is written. ## Core Features & Use Cases - Three-phase ideation dialogue: Understand & Expand (divergent variations via lenses like inversion and simplification), Evaluate & Converge (stress-testing on user value, feasibility, differentiation), and Sharpen & Ship (a markdown one-pager). - Codebase-aware grounding: When run inside a .NET solution, it scans existing architecture (MyApp.Core, EF Core models, Directory.Packages.props, ViewModels) to ground variations in real constraints. - Reference frameworks: Bundled references for SCAMPER, JTBD, pre-mortem, an evaluation rubric, and full example sessions. - Use Case: You are deciding what to build next — a new Avalonia app, an ASP.NET Core API, or a NuGet library. Invoke the skill, answer sharpening questions, review 5-8 idea variations, and receive a one-pager saved to docs/ideas/ with assumptions to validate and explicit trade-offs. ## Quick Start Ask the agent to help you refine or stress-test your idea for a new .NET feature or product, and it will guide you through the three-phase ideation dialogue.
