business-idea-eval

Business Idea Eval

Claude Code plugin for evaluating, refining, and developing business ideas. Capture an idea (text or voice), apply structured analytical lenses, run an LLM-council deliberation, synthesise the findings, and export polished documents — internal or public-facing — plus a placeholder logo and name suggestions.

Successor to the Claude-Business-Evaluator template repo. The methodology assets (ICEC scorecard, PRGX scorecard, six-persona council) are ported into this plugin's reference/ directory.

Skills

Setup

• onboard — first-run setup; pick workspace path and capture user context

Capture

• capture-idea — text input → structured workspace, with optional executive summary, elevator pitch, technical deep-dive, and timeline variants
• capture-voice-idea — audio file → transcript → structured workspace (uses claude-transcription plugin if installed)

Analytical lenses

• vc-lens — VC-style review (market, moat, capital efficiency, exit, verdict)
• tam-analysis — top-down + bottom-up TAM / SAM / SOM with reconciliation
• b2b-b2c-fit — explore B2B / B2C / B2B2C / prosumer / marketplace / dev-tool routings
• assumptions-and-objections — surface load-bearing assumptions and likely objections
• hardware-feasibility — BOM, hardest engineering risks, prototyping plan, cert path
• dev-spec — system architecture sketch, components, build phases, MVP effort
• timeline-and-project — milestone-based plan to first revenue / first deployment
• social-impact-lens — non-financial review: beneficiaries, harms, externalities, mission-coherence

Council

• council-review-subagents — six-persona LLM council via parallel Claude subagents (Operator, Financier, Skeptic, Visionary, Customer Advocate, Strategist) with blind ranking and chairman synthesis
• council-review-karpathy — wrapper that clones karpathy/llm-council on demand and runs the canonical implementation

Comparison & synthesis

• compare-ideas — head-to-head ranked comparison across multiple ideas in the workspace
• brainstorm-pivots — generate scope cuts, feature additions, customer pivots, model pivots
• synthesize-analysis — consolidate every lens + council output for one idea into a timestamped unified assessment

Output generation

Internal:

• internal-pdf — render any analysis as a Typst PDF for personal records

Public-facing:

• public-onepager — single-page shareable PDF (Typst)
• public-pitch-deck-outline — 12-slide markdown pitch-deck outline

Branding:

• name-suggestions — domain and product name candidates with availability checks
• placeholder-logo — AI-generated placeholder logo via fal / nano-banana / FLUX

Workspace layout

The plugin keeps idea data under a user-chosen path (configured during onboard):

<workspace_path>/
  ideas/
    <idea-slug>/
      idea.md                # raw capture, never edited
      versions/              # formatted variants (exec summary, elevator pitch, ...)
      analysis/              # one file per lens
      council/               # per-persona + chairman synthesis
      synthesis/             # timestamped unified assessments
      exports/               # PDFs, decks, logos
  comparisons/               # workspace-level cross-idea comparisons

Plugin config (workspace pointer, user context path, council default) lives at:

${CLAUDE_USER_DATA:-${XDG_DATA_HOME:-$HOME/.local/share}/claude-plugins}/business-idea-eval/
