SYSTEM DOCUMENTATION & REQUIREMENTS

💡 This Skill includes references (resource) and assets (resource) components.

What problem does it solve?

Guides product teams to discover non-obvious, feasible innovations by systematically manipulating components already in the product and its immediate environment (the Closed World) and then discovering the value those configurations create.

Core Features & Use Cases

  • Structured SIT workflow: Orchestrates the five SIT techniques (variable dependency, subtraction, multiplication, division, task unification) with step-by-step prompts and capture format.
  • Practical templates and examples: Includes a ready-to-use SIT template and multiple case-study outputs to illustrate Function Follows Form thinking and idea capture.
  • Integration-ready outputs: Produces 25–40 virtual-product ideas with value-discovery notes that are ready for quick filtering, idea-evaluation, and validation.
  • Use case: Run after solution-definition (PRFAQ + Closed World) to generate a diverse idea portfolio for new product behaviors, simplification, modularization, or asset re-use.

Quick Start

Use the ideation-sit skill to run a full SIT session on your PRFAQ and Closed World map and generate 25-40 virtual-product ideas with short value-discovery notes.

Frequently Asked Questions about ideation-sit

High-intent search queries and answers about installing and using this skill.

FAQPage Schema
How do I generate product innovation ideas using existing components?▼

Generate product innovation ideas by applying Systematic Inventive Thinking techniques to manipulate components within your product's Closed World, producing 25-40 structured virtual-product ideas with value discovery notes.

What is the function follows form approach in product discovery?▼

Function follows form is a product discovery approach where you first modify or configure existing product components into a virtual product, and then discover the potential value and utility of that new configuration.

How do I run a structured ideation session with SIT techniques?▼

Run a structured ideation session by sequentially applying five SIT techniques—variable dependency, subtraction, multiplication, division, and task unification—to your PRFAQ and Closed World map to extract diverse feature concepts.

When should I use closed world innovation for feature design?▼

Use closed world innovation during product discovery when you need non-obvious, feasible feature designs derived strictly from manipulating existing product and immediate environmental components rather than introducing external technologies.

Can I use this ideation output for downstream validation workflows?▼

Yes, the ideation output is integration-ready, producing 25-40 virtual-product ideas formatted with concise value discovery notes specifically suitable for quick filtering, idea evaluation, and downstream validation workflows.

What inputs do I need to start a SIT ideation session?▼

Starting a SIT ideation session requires a completed solution definition consisting of a PRFAQ and a Closed World map detailing the product's existing components and immediate environment for systematic manipulation.
