Idea Flow Orchestrator
Chooses the right next skill and publishing action for a raw prompt, existing idea, research request, or pro-candidate request.
- Classify the user input.
- Ask only the missing questions.
- End with a tool plan or blocker.
Published playbooks
Idea skills for agents and humans.
These are the FreeIdeaStore-native playbooks agents should follow before creating, critiquing, researching, validating, prototyping, refining, or promoting an idea. They are also exposed through MCP as list_idea_skills, get_idea_skill, and apply_idea_skill. Local Codex or Claude skills can follow these playbooks, but the canonical published versions live here and in FIS MCP.
Default agent flow
- Use Idea Flow Orchestrator to classify the request and pick the next skill.
- For a raw prompt, ask at most four missing questions, then use Idea Document Architect.
- Create a short public page with honest sections only; do not fake research.
- For serious canonical updates, use the universal 2-level spine: Overview, People And Problem, Context And Evidence, Proposed Solution, Risks And Constraints, Validation, Prototype Or Pilot, Model And Distribution, Evolution.
- Use contributions for critique, research, validation, prototype plans, pivots, and evidence.
- Make named products, companies, services, datasets, regulators, and public sources clickable when credible URLs are known.
- Use publish_idea_update only when the owner approves a canonical page refinement.
Idea Interviewer
Turns a vague idea into enough structured context to publish a useful first page.
- Find the first user and setting.
- Name the painful workaround.
- Produce summary, signal, next step, risk, and body.
Idea Document Architect
Turns the first prompt or short interview answers into a coherent generic FreeIdeaStore public idea document.
- Produce title, summary, stage, category, signal, next step, risk, and body.
- Use the universal 2-level spine when there is enough substance.
- Keep it critique-friendly.
Idea Critic
Finds weak assumptions, safety issues, regulation, cost traps, trust gaps, and reasons to trash or narrow the idea.
- List the strongest objections.
- Name one kill-signal test.
- Suggest a risk-reducing wedge.
Competitor Finder
Finds direct competitors, indirect substitutes, and manual workarounds before an idea is treated as novel.
- Search by user job and likely buyer language.
- Separate direct competitors from substitutes.
- Link product names to credible source pages.
Idea Researcher
Turns public evidence, competitor notes, user signals, and source-backed observations into useful idea history.
- Identify claims that need evidence.
- Capture clickable public sources.
- Record unknowns as contributions.
Idea Refiner
Merges useful history into a clearer canonical public idea document while keeping risks and caveats visible.
- Read the current idea first.
- Preserve useful content.
- Use publish_idea_update only when owner-approved.
Pivot Generator
Finds sharper customer, market, product, or format alternatives when the original version is too broad or risky.
- Generate three pivot options.
- Recommend one narrow wedge.
- Explain the risk reduction.
Validation Planner
Turns an idea into a cheap validation plan that can prove, narrow, pivot, or trash it quickly.
- Name the riskiest assumption.
- Define test method and thresholds.
- Prefer behavior over compliments.
Prototype Planner
Defines the smallest prototype that can test the idea's core workflow without pretending the full product exists.
- Name the one workflow to prove.
- Separate real from manual parts.
- Set demo success criteria.
Pro Candidate Assessor
Decides whether an idea deserves ProIdeaStore diligence, needs more refinement, should pivot, or should be parked.
- Score customer clarity, evidence, risk, buildability, and commercial potential.
- Name missing diligence.
- Promote only when earned.
