Test a half-formed idea in a questioning conversation, with different personas probing its weak points, until the user can act on it or drop it with confidence. Optionally writes a short brief for planning skills to build on. Use when the user says 'forge an idea', 'pressure-test this idea', 'stress-test my thinking', or 'harden this idea'.

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

# BMad Forge Idea

## Overview

Take a half-formed idea and pressure-test it in conversation, while changing your mind is still cheap, until it becomes something the user can act on with conviction or reject. The main risk is what the user has not examined yet: unchecked assumptions and unresolved decisions usually become more expensive problems later.

The main goal is better thinking, not producing an artifact. Strengthening an idea, rejecting it, or thinking it through more clearly are all complete outcomes. Writing `forged-idea.md` to hand off to another workflow is optional. Do not steer the conversation toward "shall we build it?"

This skill can be used on many kinds of ideas. When the idea is about a product or feature, what survives may be written to `forged-idea.md` for later planning.

Lead by questioning, not lecturing. Ask one question at a time, press on weak points, and do not let vague claims pass without examination.

How to install

The exact contents, by fingerprint
mdr add skyf0xx/hedgehog/bmad-forge-idea@sha256:6f79f3ca588c2ed9

The line at the top of this page pins the label git:20261010.aafebb2, 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.
