SYSTEM DOCUMENTATION & REQUIREMENTS

What problem does it solve?

Capture raw feature ideas and structure them with ICE scoring, enabling fast backlog growth and prioritization.

Core Features & Use Cases

  • Auto-create backlog files if missing (IDEAS.md and USER_STORIES.md) with proper headers.
  • Capture an idea description from user input, assign an IDEA-NNN ID, log source, and date.
  • Compute ICE score (Impact, Confidence, Effort) and determine status for auto-defer or scoring, then append to backlog.
  • Provide a structured result summary with the ICE breakdown and priority tier.

Quick Start

Capture a new feature idea using ICE scoring and append it to the Ideas Backlog from the command line.

FAQPage Schema
How do I capture feature ideas and prioritize them using ICE scoring?▼

Auto-create backlog files with proper headers if missing, assign an IDEA-NNN ID to raw feature ideas, compute ICE scores, and append structured rows to the Ideas Backlog to enable fast prioritization.

What is ICE scoring in product management and how does it help with backlog prioritization?▼

ICE scoring evaluates feature ideas by rating Impact, Confidence, and Effort, generating a quantitative score that determines a priority tier to help product managers auto-defer or prioritize backlog items efficiently.

How do I automatically generate and manage an ideas backlog in markdown?▼

Automatically create missing IDEAS.md and USER_STORIES.md files with proper headers, assign sequential IDEA-NNN IDs to raw inputs, and append new brainstorm outputs as structured rows to manage the ideas backlog.

Can I use this to log user requests and brainstorm outputs directly into a structured backlog?▼

Yes, log user requests and brainstorm outputs by capturing the description, assigning an IDEA-NNN ID, recording the source and date, and appending the structured entry directly into the Ideas Backlog.

Do I need to manually set up backlog files before capturing ideas?▼

No, manual backlog setup is unnecessary; the system auto-creates missing IDEAS.md and USER_STORIES.md files with proper headers and generates IDEA-NNN IDs automatically before appending the first captured idea.
