Idea.md

Overview

Create a strong Idea.md when the user has an early concept but not yet a full PRD. Treat it as the bridge between raw brainstorming and formal product requirements.

An Idea.md is not universal. If the repo already has a local convention, follow it. If not, default to the house definition in references/what-is-idea-md.md: a concise, structured concept brief that captures the problem, user, solution, repo fit, risks, and next validation steps.

Announce at start: I'm using the idea-md skill to create or refine the idea file.

Inputs to Gather

Pull from the richest available sources, in this order:

1. Existing Idea.md / IDEA.md / related drafts
2. Current repo context: README, specs, roadmap docs, issues, package structure, notable constraints
3. Conversation history and user-provided notes
4. Adjacent artifacts such as PRDs, design docs, or research notes
