What problem does it solve? Brainstorming sessions often produce vague ideas that never become actionable work, or duplicate existing plans. This Skill turns open-ended ideation into a structured, multi-phase workflow that generates many ideas, winnows them ruthlessly, and converts survivors into granular, self-documenting beads with tasks, subtasks, and dependencies. ## Core Features & Use Cases - Structured Ideation Pipeline: A six-phase workflow that generates 30 ideas, winnows to the best 5, expands to 15, checks overlap against existing beads, and creates dependency-structured work items. - Self-Documenting Beads: Creates beads via the br CLI with background, rationale, risks, and success criteria so no external plan document is needed. - Iterative Refinement: Runs 4-5 refinement passes in plan space with cycle detection via bv --robot-insights before any implementation begins. - Use Case: When planning the next milestone for a CLI tool, use this Skill to brainstorm improvements, evaluate them against a 10-criterion rubric, and produce a complete bead graph with unit and e2e test tasks ready for implementation. ## Quick Start Ask the agent to run the idea-wizard workflow to brainstorm improvements for this project and turn the best ideas into beads.
