What This Skill Does

The 'idea' skill acts as a dedicated AI business strategist and researcher. By launching background Claude Code sessions, it transforms simple user prompts into exhaustive, professional-grade market reports. It automates the entire discovery process, from conducting initial competitive landscape analysis to outlining technical stacks, revenue models, and Go-to-Market strategies. The skill effectively functions as an automated co-founder, saving dozens of hours by generating comprehensive research files directly in your environment and alerting you via Telegram the moment the analysis is complete.

Installation

To integrate this skill, follow these steps:

1. Ensure the 'claude' CLI, 'tmux', and 'supertelegram' are installed on your host system.
2. Run the installation command: clawhub install openclaw/skills/skills/andrewjiang/idea.
3. Verify that your ~/clawd/scripts/ directory contains the explore-idea.sh executor script.
4. Configure the cron job to monitor ~/.clawdbot/notify-queue/ to ensure your notifications are delivered to Telegram.
5. Append the provided instructions to your AGENTS.md file so the assistant recognizes the 'Idea:' trigger phrase.

Use Cases

• Startup Validation: Quickly test if a business concept has sufficient market demand or if it's too saturated.
• Feature Brainstorming: Analyze technical feasibility and implementation complexity for new SaaS features.
• Competitive Intelligence: Generate side-by-side comparisons of existing solutions and identify potential blue ocean opportunities.
• Strategy Development: Receive structured roadmaps including monetization, pricing strategies, and acquisition channels for early-stage ventures.

Example Prompts

1. "Idea: A subscription-based platform that uses AI to personalize local meal prep for students with specific allergies."
2. "Idea: A headless CMS plugin that automatically generates SEO-optimized social media clips from blog post content."
3. "Idea: A tool that monitors decentralized finance protocols to predict potential rug pulls for retail investors."

Tips & Limitations

• Efficiency: The 'idea' skill uses background tmux sessions to keep your main chat interface responsive, but avoid running more than three concurrent idea explorations to preserve system resources.
• Customization: You can modify the system prompt within the explore-idea.sh script to favor specific industry verticals or business models like B2B vs B2C.
• Limitations: The quality of the analysis is highly dependent on the specificity of your initial prompt. While the AI is excellent at synthesis, always conduct a final manual check on regulatory or legal assumptions generated in the research.md report.
