SUMMARY

What it does

This skill refines raw ideas into sharp, actionable concepts through structured divergent and convergent thinking. It is an interactive dialogue that guides users through three phases: 1) Understand & Expand (divergent), 2) Evaluate & Converge, and 3) Sharpen & Ship. It produces a markdown one-pager with problem statement, recommended direction, key assumptions, MVP scope, and a 'Not Doing' list. The skill emphasizes challenging assumptions, focusing on user experience, and avoiding yes-machine behavior. It can optionally initialize an ideas directory via a shell script and may use tools like AskUserQuestion, Glob, Grep, and Read when running inside a codebase. The skill is designed for ideation and planning, not for direct execution of tasks.
