SYSTEM DOCUMENTATION & REQUIREMENTS

💡 This Skill includes scripts (resource) components.

What problem does it solve?

This Skill solves the problem of vague or unrefined ideas by providing a structured, iterative framework that forces clarity, identifies hidden assumptions, and defines a clear path forward.

Core Features & Use Cases

  • Structured Ideation: Guides you through divergent thinking to expand concepts and convergent thinking to pressure-test them.
  • Assumption Validation: Explicitly identifies and challenges the core assumptions that could cause a project to fail.
  • Actionable Output: Generates a professional markdown one-pager that defines the problem, MVP scope, and what to explicitly avoid.
  • Use Case: Use this when you have a rough concept for a new product feature and need to stress-test its viability before writing a single line of code.

Quick Start

Invoke the idea-refine skill to help me brainstorm and stress-test my new concept for a local restaurant loyalty app.
