idea:new

New Idea

Scaffold a new business idea folder with structured documents to guide ideation through validation.

Workflow

Step 1: Parse Arguments

Extract the idea name and optional description from ``.

• If no arguments, ask the user for an idea name and one-line description
• Sanitize the idea name to lowercase-kebab-case for the folder name
• Use today's date as prefix: YYYY-MM-DD-idea-name

Step 2: Create Folder Structure

Create the following under ideas/:

ideas/YYYY-MM-DD-idea-name/
├── 00-overview.md
├── 01-brainstorm.md
├── 02-lean-canvas.md
├── 03-assumptions.md
├── 04-pmf-strategy.md
└── 05-experiments.md

Step 3: Generate Each Document

Use the templates in templates.md to generate each file. Fill in as much as possible from the idea description. Leave sections the user needs to think about with <!-- TODO: ... --> markers.

For the brainstorm document, use the installed brainstorm-ideas-new skill's methodology if available.

For the lean canvas, use the installed lean-canvas skill's framework if available.

For PMF strategy, use the installed pmf-strategy skill's framework if available.

Step 4: Summary

After creation, output:

1. The folder path
2. A brief table of all created documents with their purpose
3. Suggest next step:

Your idea is scaffolded! Here's what to do next:

→ /idea:pushback {idea-name}  — stress-test your idea through conversational sparring + scoring

Success Criteria

• All 6 files created with meaningful starter content
• Folder name follows YYYY-MM-DD-idea-name convention
• Each document is actionable, not just empty headers
