/idea — Turn a Rough Idea Into Backlog Tasks

Usage: /idea [describe the idea]

Arguments: $ARGUMENTS

Takes a raw idea and runs it through the product pipeline: evaluate, decompose, prioritise.

Steps

1. Read current state for context:

   cat memory/STATE.md
   cat memory/DECISIONS.md
   

2. po-agent evaluates the idea:

   • Does this align with the current phase?
   • Which persona benefits?
   • What's the user story? (As a [persona], I want [action], so that [benefit])
   • Priority relative to current backlog?

3. tech-lead-agent assesses feasibility:

   • Technical complexity (S/M/L/XL)
   • Dependencies on existing code
   • Any architectural decisions needed? (DEC-XXX)
   • Fits within project tech stack?

4. security-analyst-agent checks constraints:

   • Does it introduce any security surface?
   • Any data privacy implications?

5. Decompose into tasks (if approved):

   • Break into TASK-XXX items
   • Define acceptance criteria
   • Estimate complexity

6. Show the evaluation:
