idea-clawdbot

What This Skill Does

The idea-clawdbot skill is an autonomous research engine designed to transform raw business concepts into professional-grade strategy documents. By leveraging Clawdbot's native sessions_spawn capability, this skill moves away from cumbersome external dependencies, running complex market analysis, technical scoping, and business model generation entirely within the background of your existing environment. When you provide a brief description, the skill initiates a deep-dive sub-agent session that researches your idea against a multi-faceted framework, saves the resulting analysis to your local file system, and pushes the final report back to your current chat session. It eliminates the friction between 'having a thought' and 'having an actionable business plan.'

Installation

To integrate this skill into your workflow, you need to ensure your Clawdbot installation supports sessions_spawn. Run the installation command provided by your repository host:

clawhub install openclaw/skills/skills/rqrqrqrq/research-idea

Once installed, verify that your AGENTS.md is updated with the logic provided in the skill documentation. This ensures that the agent correctly routes the 'Idea:' trigger to the dedicated sub-agent research session rather than attempting to answer it with a simple conversational response.

Use Cases

• Pre-Validation: Quickly filter out unviable business ideas by generating a comprehensive SWOT analysis before investing significant time.
• Technical Scoping: Determine the required stack and MVP roadmap for a new app idea.
• Market Intelligence: Identify potential competitors and TAM/SAM/SOM metrics for specific niche markets.
• Go-to-Market Strategy: Generate channel-specific acquisition strategies and partnership opportunities for new product concepts.

Example Prompts

1. "Idea: A subscription-based platform that uses AI to analyze local restaurant health inspection data and sends alerts to concerned diners."
2. "Idea: A specialized CRM for independent freelance photographers that automatically handles contract generation and milestone-based invoicing."
3. "Idea: A peer-to-peer marketplace for renting high-end gardening equipment, focusing on urban farming communities."

Tips & Limitations

• Resource Management: Research typically takes 3-5 minutes to complete. Do not initiate multiple parallel idea sessions if your hardware resources are limited, as each session runs an independent LLM inference process.
• Monitoring: You can track the progress of your research via the CLI using clawdbot sessions list --kinds spawn.
• Deep Dives: The skill generates long-form markdown files (400-500 lines). Ensure you have sufficient local storage allocated to ~/clawd/ideas/.
• Human-in-the-loop: Always verify the generated technical stack and market data, as the research is derived from LLM analysis which may require final human verification before implementation.
