What problem does it solve? Raw ideas are often vague, untested, and overloaded with hidden assumptions, leading teams to commit to plans before validating whether the idea is worth building. This Skill guides a structured ideation dialogue that sharpens fuzzy concepts into concrete, validated directions. ## Core Features & Use Cases - Three-Phase Ideation Process: Divergent expansion (restate the idea as a How Might We statement, ask sharpening questions, generate 5-8 variations), convergent evaluation (cluster, stress-test against user value, feasibility, and differentiation), and sharpening into a final artifact. - Assumption Auditing: Explicitly surfaces dealbreaker, important, and nice-to-have assumptions with validation strategies before any commitment. - Concrete Output Artifact: Produces a markdown one-pager saved to docs/ideas/ containing a problem statement, recommended direction, MVP scope, and a Not Doing list. - Use Case: A founder with a vague startup concept invokes the skill, gets pushed through sharpening questions and idea variations, receives honest pushback on weak directions, and walks away with a scoped MVP plan and explicit trade-offs. ## Quick Start Ask the agent to help you refine or stress-test your idea by describing the concept you want to explore.
