Idea Validator

Critically evaluate ideas with honest feedback on market viability, technical feasibility, and actionable improvements.

When to Use

Trigger this skill when the user asks to:

• Evaluate, validate, or score an app idea or startup concept
• Get honest feedback on whether an idea is worth building
• Research what competitors already exist in a space: paid products with their market share, and open-source alternatives to build on
• Turn a vague concept into a structured validation report

Instructions

Run the steps in this order: Setup steps 1-2 → Repo Sync → Setup steps 3-6 → Phase 1 Clarify → Phase 2 Technical Context → Phase 3 Competitive Landscape → Phase 4 Evaluate → Phase 5 Improve → Commit and Push → Final Report. Do not skip or reorder a step, except where an Edge Cases row says to stop. A stop after Setup step 4 still runs Commit and Push on the files written so far, then the Final Report. Run README Maintenance only when its trigger (defined in that section) matches.
