What problem does it solve?
It prevents a growing startup idea backlog from becoming noise by screening ideas for competition pressure, timing, operator fit, and market size.
Core Features & Use Cases
- Backlog screening with deduping: Reads ideas from memory and selects only those not yet recorded as screened, optionally filtering by a theme.
- Competition and funding signals: Uses web research to classify competition density and detect whether funding momentum exists in the target domain.
- Viability scoring and ranked recommendations: Combines timing fit, operator fit, competition category, and market-size estimates into a ranked shortlist and a lightweight rationale log for later runs.
- Notification and logging: Writes screening results to a persistent screening database and logs an execution summary, then notifies with the top picks and skipped reasons.
Quick Start
Run the idea-validator skill with an optional theme like "crypto" to screen up to 8 unscreened ideas from memory and receive a ranked top-picks notification.
