module-ideation

Brainstorming new Eurorack modules works best with a structured ideation process that guides you through defining the module's category, core concept, I/O specifications, panel design, and use cases. This Skill walks you through four phases—from free-form collection through documentation—to capture your vision and produce a complete creative brief without requiring external tools.

A creative brief for a VCV Rack module captures the module name, category, core concept, input/output specifications, voltage ranges, panel vision, intended use cases, and inspirations. This Skill generates a structured template during ideation that organizes these elements and ensures nothing critical is overlooked during the design phase.

Yes. The Skill includes Improvement Mode, which adapts the brainstorming workflow to refine existing modules. It applies the same phase-driven approach to identify gaps, generate targeted questions, and document enhancement opportunities without starting from scratch.

The workflow enforces decision gates at each phase to validate your thinking before advancing. It detects whether you're creating a new module or improving an existing one, asks targeted questions to fill gaps, and produces phase-appropriate artifacts that feed directly into planning and implementation.

You need a module name and initial idea or direction to begin. The ideation process extracts additional details—category, core concept, I/O goals, panel vision, and use cases—through guided questioning, so you don't need everything defined upfront.
