About this Skill

Explore alternatives and assumptions, then turn a rough idea into a focused concept with an MVP scope. Alternate divergent exploration and convergence, stress-test assumptions and choose a concrete direction.

Why we picked it

A task workflow in Addy's Agent Skills. Follow the upstream instructions and retain referenced shared files; host capabilities and project configuration determine which steps can run.

What it helps with

  • A rough concept needs exploration before becoming a specification.

Workflow and deliverables

Alternate divergent exploration and convergence, stress-test assumptions and choose a concrete direction.

A one-page concept with problem statement, recommended direction, assumptions, MVP scope and exclusions; saved after user confirmation.

Idea Refine instructions

Install with the required references

Install the complete pack through a documented repository integration when shared references are needed. A per-skill skills CLI install copies only skills/<name>/ and can omit the repository-level references/ checklists; keep the needed shared files with the workflow.

Upstream overview and integrations

Before you use it

  • An Agent that can load Skill Markdown and access your project. File edits, shell commands, builds and checks depend on the selected workflow and its environment.
  • Use your project's own runtimes, dependencies and verification commands. The Skill files provide instructions and do not install those project tools.
  • Install the complete pack through a documented repository integration when shared references are needed. A per-skill skills CLI install copies only skills/<name>/ and can omit the repository-level references/ checklists; keep the needed shared files with the workflow.
