Check a proposed X, LinkedIn, Instagram, or other content idea against ten evidence-backed gates before drafting or posting. Use when someone wants a clear make-or-rework decision on an idea, not a prediction of reach or virality.
Collected from public GitHub. Every version is saved exactly as it was and never changes. Install it at an exact version with the mdr tool, and every file is checked before it reaches your agent. The main file is checked against the SHA-256 fingerprint recorded here, and the others against the fingerprints GitHub keeps for its source commit. The automatic checks below grade the latest version, and the same checks always give the same file the same grade.
What the file says
# Idea Gate Decide whether a content idea is ready to make. This adapts Eshaan Kansal's open-source Pocket CMO Idea Gate; see [source, licence, and gates](references/gates.md). The original tool runs as a local dashboard in Pocket CMO; this skill runs the same ten gates inside your agent. Execution mode: agent-native in Claude Code or Codex. No extra API key is required. Do not claim to simulate an audience or forecast impressions, engagement, conversion, or virality. Example request: “Should I make this LinkedIn post idea for early-stage SaaS founders? Run Idea Gate, show each gate's evidence, and tell me what to change before writing.” ## Inputs Ask for the proposed idea, intended reader or viewer, and channel if absent. Use the user's existing product context or writing samples only when available and authorized. Ask about hard brand, legal, client, or confidentiality boundaries if a proposed claim might cross one. Do not demand a brand kit or analytics account just to judge an idea. ## Saved settings …

How to install
mdr add ekos-labs/skills/idea-gate@sha256:7a8555d17d139e09The line at the top of this page pins the label v1.0.0, which is what most people want. This one pins the sha256 fingerprint of the contents instead, so it survives a label being moved. Either way the exact version is written to mdr.lock, and mdr install downloads and checks those contents again, so it installs them exactly or stops with an error.
