ideas

This skill should be used when the user wants to explore a new project idea, feature concept, or product direction that needs creative development before any design or implementation work begins. This skill should be used when the user says things like "I have an idea", "help me think through", "what should this be", "let's explore", "I'm not sure what this should be", or when requirements are vague and need shaping into a clear vision.

This skill should be used when the user wants to sharpen, distill, or pressure-test an existing idea. Triggers include "refine this idea", "what's the core of this", "help me cut this down", "is this idea any good", "challenge this idea", "help me decide if this is worth pursuing", "strip this back", "what's essential here", or when an idea has too many features and needs focus.

This skill should be used when the user wants sustained divergent exploration of a theme — riffing, branching, finding unexpected angles without converging toward a vision or spec. Works independently, before ideation (to generate raw material), or after refinement (to re-expand a stripped idea). Uses a toolkit of 22 creative techniques adapted to conversational energy. Produces a branching outline of ideas explored. Triggers include "riff on", "explore ideas around", "let's brainstorm about", "what could we do with", "help me think around", "idea jam", "think out loud about", "go wild with", "free-associate on", or when the user wants to explore an idea space.
