Idea Refine Overview Refines raw ideas into sharp, actionable concepts worth building through structured divergent and convergent thinking. When to Use Use when an idea is still vague and needs shaping before it can become a plan Use when you need to stress-test assumptions before committing to a direction Use when you want to expand options before converging on one Trigger phrases: "Help me refine this idea", "Ideate on [concept]", "Stress-test my plan" Not for: a user who is unsure what they want at all (use interview-me), or a direction already chosen that needs a spec (use spec-driven-development) How It Works Understand & Expand (Divergent): Restate the idea, ask sharpening questions, and generate variations. Evaluate & Converge: Cluster ideas, stress-test them, and surface hidden assumptions. Sharpen & Ship: Produce a concrete markdown one-pager moving work forward. This skill is primarily an interactive dialogue.
