Frequently asked questions
AI-generated answers based on this skill's SKILL.md and metadata
How to capture a new product idea with idea?
idea guides you through structured idea capture with mandatory discovery and validation gates. You enter your concept, and idea auto-detects your project module, then walks you through focused user interviews to validate the problem statement. The result is a technology-neutral artifact ready for refinement and conversion into backlog items.
What does idea do to turn rough concepts into backlog items?
idea converts vague ideas into tech-agnostic problem statements by capturing your concept, conducting structured user interviews, and validating assumptions before detailed specification. Once validated, idea outputs artifacts with module context and sizing information, preparing your idea for direct handoff to PBI creation without leaking solution details.
Can idea help validate ideas through user interviews?
Yes. idea includes a validation framework that conducts focused user interviews as a mandatory gate in the capture process. This validation step ensures your idea is grounded in real user needs before you invest in detailed specification or technical design, reducing downstream rework.
What is idea's structured idea capture process?
idea's process starts with capturing your product concept, auto-detects your project module, then runs you through discovery and validation workflows. Each stage preserves business intent while keeping problem statements technology-neutral. The output includes validated artifacts with module context and sizing ready for backlog conversion.
Does idea generate artifacts that preserve business intent?
idea generates idea artifacts specifically designed to preserve business intent without leaking solution details. These validated artifacts include module context and sizing information, making them ready for handoff to PBI creation while keeping the focus on the problem, not the proposed technology.
How does idea support ideation to refinement workflow?
idea bridges ideation and refinement by capturing new concepts, running them through discovery and validation gates, and outputting tech-agnostic problem statements. This structured workflow ensures ideas are validated and properly contextualized before moving to detailed specification or backlog item creation.

Refine transforms raw ideas into production-ready product backlog items through structured problem validation, requirements elicitation, and BDD-formatted acceptance criteria. The skill enforces hypothesis gates, mandatory user interviews, and dual estimation cycles to ensure teams have complete, testable scope before development begins.
Quality Gate Review applies pass/fail criteria at each development stage—from idea to release—ensuring standards compliance and generating audit trails. It defines checklists for gate transitions, verifies acceptance criteria with evidence, and tracks quality metrics including code complexity and defect rates.
Business Analyst guides you through refining requirements into structured user stories using the As-a/I-want/So-that format while ensuring INVEST compliance. It extracts and references existing business rules from your project docs, investigates domain entities, and generates acceptance criteria in BDD (GIVEN/WHEN/THEN) format to close gaps and improve testability.
product-owner helps teams structure raw concepts into actionable backlog items by auto-detecting project modules and injecting relevant feature context. It supports RICE scoring, MoSCoW classification, and Value/Effort prioritization to align ideas with business goals. Built for Clean Architecture and CQRS projects, it enforces validation interviews and numeric priority ordering to ensure decisions are grounded in project reality.
e2e-test automates creation of spec-traceable end-to-end tests using your project's configured framework, with every test linked to a TC code and structured via Page Object Model. It handles test generation from recordings, specs, or UI changes while enforcing semantic selectors and self-sufficient test data to keep tests resilient to future changes.
problem-solving guides you through five systematic techniques—Simplification Cascades, Collision-Zone Thinking, Meta-Pattern Recognition, Inversion Exercise, and Scale Game—each designed to address specific types of stuck-ness. Match your symptom to the right technique, load its detailed reference, and apply the process step-by-step; combine multiple techniques when a problem requires it.
