Research, validate, publish, and audit app ideas on webmatrices.com/app-ideas. Iterative pain-mining via SuperMCP, parallel scout agents to score pain vs competition, publish to the strict three-section structure (pure Problem + Why Existing Fails + Economics callout), and smell-test for cross-field coherence (whether claims in the narrative are backed by the page's own pain points / source posts / existingSolutions, whether pain quotes match their sources, plus length and r/r/X bugs). Use when asked to research a new app idea, validate a hypothesis, enrich/publish an idea, or audit a page for incoherence.

From the source SKILL.md

Research and publish app ideas. The /app-ideas/[slug] page is a decision tool, not a forum — every field has a specific job and a tight budget. This skill enforces both the research bar (pain ≥7/10, competition ≤4/10, 12+ pain points, 10+ source posts) AND the publishing discipline (pure problem statement, separate why-fails + economics sections, terse Overview/Verdict/Market Timing).

What this skill does

App Ideas is a community-contributed Claude Code skill in the storytelling sub-category. It ships as a SKILL.md file that Claude Code auto-discovers under ~/.claude/skills/app-ideas/ and loads when your prompt matches the skill's trigger.

When to invoke it: Use when asked to research a new app idea, validate a hypothesis, enrich/publish an idea, or audit a page for incoherence.
