Identifies **forward-looking, innovative upgrade opportunities** that go beyond
Generate and critically evaluate grounded improvement ideas for the current project by scanning the codebase. Use for 'what to improve', 'give ideas', or proactive project direction suggestions.
Generates and critically evaluates grounded improvement ideas for the current project's codebase. Triggers on 'what to improve', 'give me ideas', or similar requests to produce ranked ideation docs.
Scans full project—code, infrastructure, marketing, growth, business—to surface 3-5 high-impact low-effort opportunities ranked by value and routes to relevant skills. Use when unsure what to work on next.
Share bugs, ideas, or general feedback.
Identifies forward-looking, innovative upgrade opportunities that go beyond fixing problems — suggesting features and patterns that make a project stand out. This is the "what if?" layer on top of the council's "what's wrong?" analysis.
Suggest AI integration opportunities appropriate to the project:
| Project Type | AI Feature | Effort | Impact |
|---|---|---|---|
| Content app | AI-powered search with embeddings | Medium | High |
| E-commerce | Product recommendation engine | High | Very High |
| SaaS dashboard | Natural language data queries | Medium | High |
| Dev tools | AI code review / suggestions | Medium | High |
| CMS | AI content generation / summarization | Low | Medium |
| Form-heavy app | Smart form auto-fill | Low | Medium |
| Documentation | AI-powered Q&A chatbot | Medium | High |
| Any app | AI-powered command palette | Low | High |
Detection: Look for search functionality, data tables, content editing, or user input forms — these are prime AI integration points.
Patterns that dramatically improve perceived quality:
| Pattern | What It Is | When to Suggest |
|---|---|---|
| Command Palette (Cmd+K) | Searchable action menu | Any app with >5 pages/actions |
| Optimistic Updates | UI updates before server confirms | Any CRUD app |
| Skeleton Screens | Content-shaped loading placeholders | Any data-loading UI |
| Drag-and-Drop | Reorderable lists/grids | Lists with order significance |
| Infinite Scroll | Progressive content loading | Feed/list-heavy apps |
| Toast Notifications | Non-blocking feedback | Any app with async actions |

| Contextual Tooltips | Rich inline help | Complex/enterprise UIs |
| Keyboard Shortcuts | Power-user acceleration | Productivity/dev tools |
| Live Collaboration | Real-time multi-user | Docs/editors/whiteboards |
| Dark Mode | Theme switching | Any user-facing app |
| Responsive Sidebar | Collapsible navigation | Dashboard/admin layouts |
| Data Visualization | Charts/graphs from data | Apps with analytics |
| Undo/Redo Stack | Action history | Editors/form-heavy apps |
Beyond fixing bottlenecks — architectural performance patterns:
| Pattern | What It Is | When to Suggest |

description: >
Your app has 12 pages and 8 common actions. A command palette (Cmd+K)
lets power users navigate, search, and act without leaving the keyboard.
Libraries like cmdk or kbar make this a 2-3 hour implementation with
dramatic UX improvement.
implementation:
library: "cmdk (pacocoursey/cmdk) — 2KB gzipped"
files_to_create: ["src/components/CommandPalette.tsx"]
files_to_modify: ["src/app/layout.tsx"]
estimated_time: "2-3 hours"
inspiration: "VS Code, Linear, Vercel Dashboard, Raycast"
