BMAD Idea Router

Use this skill as the repository's pre-planning creative intake and concept-routing layer.

The job is not to dump dozens of ideation techniques or persona gimmicks. The job is to:

1. normalize a messy early-stage idea packet,
2. choose the single framing mode that reduces ambiguity fastest,
3. produce one concept artifact that downstream work can actually use,
4. route the next step to the right neighboring skill.

Read references/operating-modes.md for mode-selection heuristics, references/handoff-boundaries.md for adjacent-skill routing, and references/concept-packet-template.md for reusable output scaffolding.

When to use this skill

• The user has a rough idea and needs a clearer problem, audience, concept, or story before planning starts
• The request is still ambiguous enough that jumping straight to a PRD, sprint plan, or launch plan would be premature
• A product, service, content, or GTM idea needs one concept brief, positioning brief, or narrative packet first
• A game idea needs pillars, player fantasy, core loop, and first concept framing before bmad-gds or task decomposition
• The user explicitly mentions brainstorming, concept shaping, design thinking, positioning, JTBD-style framing, story packaging, or pre-planning clarification
