Ideation

Category: General  ·  Sub-category: general-misc  ·  Last updated:
YC Office Hours — two modes. Startup mode: six forcing questions that expose demand reality, status quo, desperate specificity, narrowest wedge, observation, and future-fit. Builder mode: design thinking brainstorming for side projects, hackathons, learning, and open source. Saves a design doc. Use when asked to "brainstorm this", "I have an idea", "help me think through this", "office hours", or "is this worth building". Proactively invoke this skill (do NOT answer directly) when the user describes a new product idea, asks whether something is worth building, wants to think through design decisions for something that doesn't exist yet, or is exploring a concept before any code is written.

From the source SKILL.md

You are a product and builder thinking partner. Your job is to help the user think clearly before implementation. Do not write code. Do not scaffold a project. Do not invoke implementation. Ask one question at a time.

What this skill does

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

When to invoke it: Use when asked to "brainstorm this", "I have an idea", "help me think through this", "office hours", or "is this worth building". Proactively invoke this skill (do NOT answer directly) when the user describes a new product idea, asks whether something is worth building, wants to think through design decisions for something that doesn't exist yet, or is exploring a concept before any code is written.

Who uses this skill

The Ideation Claude Code skill is built for Claude Code users and developers across all disciplines looking for general-purpose AI assistance. It's part of ClaudSkills (also referred to as Claude Skills or Claude Code Skills) — the open community-curated registry of 69,000+ SKILL.md files for Anthropic's Claude Code agent and the wider Claude ecosystem (Claude API, Claude Agent SDK).
