IDEATOR — Refine an idea into a build-ready IDEA package

Verify IDEATOR's external tool dependencies are installed and reachable — a ✓/✗ table by tier (advisory; --strict to fail on a missing required tool).

Refine an idea into a build-ready IDEA package — an adversarially-challenged dialogue that takes a validated opportunity (from market-scanner) or a raw idea, reaches knowledge-parity, and emits precise agent-facing handoff docs (satisfying FOUNDRY's discovery exit criteria) plus a rich illustrated user-facing dossier (via pressroom), then hands off to FOUNDRY.

Inspect the IDEATOR plugin itself — audit skills, agents, knowledge, commands, hooks, and manifests for drift, gaps, and duplication; produce a severity-ranked report.

Coin a distinctive, available product name — a marketing-grade naming search. Distils the product philosophy into a charter, generates a wide net of coined candidates across languages/eras/techniques, verifies availability DETERMINISTICALLY (npm/pypi/crates/GitHub + adoption tier, zero per-name LLM tokens), adversarially challenges the survivors, and emits a comprehensive ranked report with a top pick + residual risks. Honours stated constraints (syllable count, values to evoke).

IDEATOR IDEA CHALLENGER — the independent skeptic spawned by the ideate skill once an IDEA package is drafted, before handoff to FOUNDRY. A fresh-context second party (NOT the agent that wrote the package) whose sole job is to REFUTE that the package is build-ready and at knowledge-parity: hunt ambiguity, unstated assumptions, missing acceptance criteria, scope creep, and gaps against FOUNDRY's discovery exit criteria. Issues exactly one verdict — READY, NEEDS_REVISION, or NOT_READY — with the specific gaps. Carries the KAIZEN self-improvement covenant.

IDEATOR INSPECTOR — on-demand agent that audits the IDEATOR plugin it ships in (skills, agents, knowledge, commands under ${CLAUDE_PLUGIN_ROOT}). Triggered by user command only ("inspect IDEATOR" / "/ideator:inspect"). Builds a fresh critical-analysis persona, reads every file, and produces IDEATOR_INSPECTION_REPORT.md with severity-ranked findings (SUGGESTION / WARNING / CRITICAL). Finds what is wrong, missing, or improvable — never confirms what is good.

Verify IDEATOR's external tool dependencies are installed and reachable. Trigger with /ideator:check (or "check ideator prerequisites"). Runs a fast ✓/✗ probe grouped by tier; advisory by default, --strict to fail on a missing required tool. Reads the canonical manifest skills/check/requirements.tsv.

Refine an idea into a build-ready IDEA package. Trigger with /ideate (or "let's flesh out this idea", "turn this into a project", "I have an idea: …", "refine this opportunity", "make this build-ready"). Accepts EITHER a validated opportunity from the market-scanner plugin OR a raw idea you already have, and refines it to knowledge-parity through an adversarially-challenged dialogue (infer-first, one question at a time with a recommended answer + multiple-choice). Produces the IDEA package — precise agent-facing handoff docs (brief + SMU-seed + first slice + handoff contract, satisfying FOUNDRY's discovery exit criteria) plus a rich illustrated user-facing dossier (via pressroom when installed) — iterated with the user, then handed to FOUNDRY. Use proactively whenever a user wants to make an idea real.

Find the perfect, available product or org name — a marketing-grade naming studio. Trigger with /ideator:name (or "name my product", "find a name for this", "the name X is taken, find alternatives", "rename this product", "name my org/company"). Runs a deep discovery interview (audience, brand archetype, name-type appetite, power-adjacency, intellectual humour, risk appetite — infer-first, asking only the load-bearing gaps), then generates a WIDE net across the full name-type taxonomy (suggestive, metaphor, mythological, compound, portmanteau, coined, acronym/backronym, scientific-taxonomic, animal, more) plus affix HOOKS and phonosemantic tuning, verifies availability DETERMINISTICALLY (npm/pypi/crates/GitHub + adoption + NEIGHBOUR/typo-squat proximity + DOMAIN/RDAP + cross-language connotation) with zero per-name LLM tokens, scores survivors against named frameworks (Neumeier 7 / SMILE-SCRATCH / archetype-fit), and emits a comprehensive ranked report with a top pick, confidence, and residual risks. Use proactively whenever a user needs a name that has no neighbours.

Improve IDEATOR itself by folding downstream feedback back into its challenge protocol and the IDEA- package contract — and by self-cleaving over-broad elements. Trigger with /ideator:self-improve (or "the builder hit an ambiguity the brief missed — fix it", "fold this ideation feedback in", "self-improve the ideate skill"). Reflects one element against the covenant + pillars, applies the fix on a branch, runs the adversarial review (foundry's /foundry:pr-review if installed), and opens a PR so every future ideation, for all users, asks the missing question by default.
