bmad-forge-idea
Test a half-formed idea in a questioning conversation, with different personas probing its weak points, until the user can act on it or drop it with confidence. Optionally writes a short brief for planning skills to build on. Use when the user says 'forge an idea', 'pressure-test this idea', 'stress-test my thinking', or 'harden this idea'

BMad Forge Idea Overview Take a half-formed idea and pressure-test it in conversation, while changing your mind is still cheap, until it becomes something the user can act on with conviction or reject. The main risk is what the user has not examined yet: unchecked assumptions and unresolved decisions usually become more expensive problems later. The main goal is better thinking, not producing an artifact. Strengthening an idea, rejecting it, or thinking it through more clearly are all complete outcomes. Writing the forged idea to hand off to another workflow is optional. Do not steer the conversation toward "shall we build it?" This skill can be used on many kinds of ideas. When the idea is about a product or feature, what survives may be written to a short forged idea for later planning. Lead by questioning, not lecturing. Ask one question at a time, press on weak points, and do not let vague claims pass without examination.
