Capture the idea
while it's fresh.

One command to scaffold an entire evaluation directory. Extracts context from your conversation, creates the file structure, asks for your gut check, and sets up the idea as active so all other evaluation skills know what you're working on.

From thought to structure in 60 seconds

Dump what you're thinking — a sentence, a paragraph, a link. The skill extracts a name, scans the conversation for context (links, technical details, prior art), scaffolds the directory, and asks two questions: why is this interesting, and what could kill it.

  • Extracts idea name and one-liner from your description
  • Scans conversation for relevant context (links, details, constraints)
  • Creates full directory structure with README
  • Captures gut-check: why interesting + what could kill it
  • Sets idea as active for all other evaluation skills
  • Suggests next steps (opportunity-brief, market-research, competitor-landscape)

Everything you need, nothing you don't

The skill creates a clean directory structure designed for the full evaluation pipeline. Each folder has a purpose, and the README acts as your single source of truth — status, context, progress, and links all in one place.

The initial-context.md file captures anything useful from your current conversation — links you mentioned, technical details, constraints, or prior art — so nothing gets lost.

As you run each evaluation skill, outputs land in the right folder automatically. No manual file management.

What happens next

The README includes a progress checklist that tracks your evaluation journey. Each skill checks off its step automatically. You always know where you are and what's left.

The idea is set as active immediately — so when you run /opportunity-brief, /market-research, or any other evaluation skill, it already knows which idea you're working on.
