description Use when the user has an idea to brainstorm, wants to design a feature, needs help refining a concept, says "let's ideate", or describes a vague project needing structure. Guides structured brainstorming to produce a clear feature description ready for speckit.

Ideate Skill

Guides structured brainstorming to transform a vague idea into a clear feature description ready for /speckit.specify.

When to Use

  • User says "I have an idea for..."
  • User describes a concept that needs refinement
  • User wants to brainstorm or design something
  • Before creating a PRD/spec

Structured Brainstorming

Guide the user through these questions:

1. Core Value

  • What problem does this solve?
  • Who is the primary user?
  • What's the one-sentence pitch?

2. Key Features

  • What are the 3-5 must-have features?
  • What's the MVP (minimum viable product)?
  • What can wait for v2?

3. User Journey

  • How does a user discover this?
  • What's the happy path?
  • What does success look like?

4. Constraints

  • Any technical constraints?
  • Timeline or scope limits?
  • Dependencies on other systems?

Output Format

After brainstorming, produce a Feature Description ready for speckit:

## Feature: [Name]

### Problem
[1-2 sentences describing the problem]

### Solution
[1-2 sentences describing the solution]

### User Stories
1. As a [user], I want to [action] so that [benefit]
2. ...

### MVP Scope
- [ ] Feature 1
- [ ] Feature 2
- [ ] Feature 3

### Out of Scope (v2+)
- Feature X
- Feature Y

### Constraints
- [Any technical/business constraints]

Handoff to Spec-Kit

Once the feature description is complete, hand off to spec-kit-skill:

  1. Install spec-kit-skill (if not already):

    /plugin marketplace add feiskyer/claude-code-settings
/plugin install spec-kit-skill

  2. Run spec-kit workflow:

    • The spec-kit-skill auto-triggers when you mention "spec-kit" or reference .specify/
    • It guides through: specify → clarify → plan → tasks

  3. Continue to execution:

    • Once tasks.md is ready, the execute skill handles autonomous implementation

Example Session

User: "I have an idea for a CLI tool that helps manage dotfiles"

Claude (with ideate skill):

  1. Asks about core value: "What pain point does this solve?"
  2. Asks about features: "What are the must-have capabilities?"
  3. Asks about users: "Who is this for - beginners or power users?"
  4. Produces feature description
  5. Suggests: "Ready to create the PRD? Run /speckit.specify with this description."
