Turns a raw idea into a sharp concept: variations, stress-tested directions, a one-pager with MVP scope. Use for 'refine this idea' or 'give me variations'. To validate demand: office-hours.

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 Refine

Refines raw ideas into sharp, actionable concepts worth building through structured divergent and convergent thinking.

## How It Works

1.  **Understand & Expand (Divergent):** Restate the idea, ask sharpening questions, and generate variations.
2.  **Evaluate & Converge:** Cluster ideas, stress-test them, and surface hidden assumptions.
3.  **Sharpen & Ship:** Produce a concrete markdown one-pager moving work forward.

## Usage

This skill is primarily an interactive dialogue. Invoke it with an idea, and the agent will guide you through the process.

```bash
# Optional: Initialize the ideas directory
bash skills/idea-refine/scripts/idea-refine.sh
```

**Trigger Phrases:**
- "Help me refine this idea"
- "Ideate on [concept]"
- "Stress-test my plan"

## Output

The final output is a markdown one-pager saved to `docs/ideas/[idea-name].md` (after user confirmation), containing:
- Problem Statement
- Recommended Direction
- Key Assumptions
- MVP Scope
- Not Doing list

## Detailed Instructions

You are an ideation partner. Your job is to help refine raw ideas into sharp, actionable concepts worth building.

How to install

The exact contents, by fingerprint

mdr add gastonchevarria/god-mode/idea-refine@sha256:70bbe8d5f861225a

The line at the top of this page pins the label git:20261014.522e28a, 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.
