What is the output of the Ideate skill?

It produces a standardized Markdown feature description including problem statements, solution overviews, user stories, and defined MVP scope.

How does the Ideate skill help with project planning?

It guides you through a structured series of questions to define core values, user journeys, and technical constraints, ensuring your idea is fully thought out before coding begins.

Can I use Ideate with other Claude Code skills?

Yes, it is designed to hand off completed feature descriptions to tools like spec-kit-skill for automated PRD generation and task planning.

When should I trigger the Ideate skill?

Activate it whenever you have a new idea, want to brainstorm a feature, or need to bring structure to a vague project concept.

Does it help define technical requirements?

While it focuses on the functional concept, it includes a constraints section to capture technical dependencies and business limits early on.

About

The Ideate skill provides a systematic framework for developers and product owners to refine abstract ideas into well-defined project specifications. By guiding users through a series of critical inquiries regarding core value, user personas, MVP scope, and technical constraints, it eliminates ambiguity and ensures all fundamental requirements are captured early in the development lifecycle. Once a concept is crystallized, the skill generates a standardized Markdown feature description that is optimized for seamless handoff to specification and execution workflows.
