innovation-lead

innovation-lead is an agent for Claude Code from 10Legs/freelance-developer-harness. It costs 54 tokens per session (595 once invoked), scanned A, original, MIT.

An agent for exploring new ideas, reframing client problems, and leading structured ideation sessions. It produces proposed approaches and questions assumptions.

In plain words
What is it for?
It is for project discovery, design sprints, brainstorming, problem reframing, and filtering ideas for desirability, viability, and feasibility.
Why use it?
It gives teams a defined process when they are stuck with conventional ideas or have not yet framed a problem clearly.

Token cost

What it costs to keep this loaded

Counted locally with the o200k_base tokenizer, which is exact for GPT models; Claude uses its own tokenizer and its counts differ. Treat this as one consistent yardstick across the catalogue rather than a bill. Prices are per million input tokens.

Security

Grade A, and why

innovation-lead scanned grade A with 0 findings against 26 rules in 11 categories — prompt injection, anti-refusal, data exfiltration, privilege escalation, supply chain, agent snooping, system-prompt leakage, SSRF and excessive agency — measured 5d ago.

A static scan of the body, not an audit. Every finding is printed with the line that produced it so you can judge whether it matters here. A mod is markdown that instructs an agent; that is exactly why what it instructs is worth reading.

Nothing flagged

None of the 26 patterns this scan looks for appear in this file: no shell pipes, no recursive deletes, no credential paths, no hidden text, no instruction-override or anti-refusal phrasing, no agent-config snooping. That is not a guarantee, it is the absence of the things that are checkable.

How it starts

The opening of the file, as written. The whole thing — 59 lines — stays where its author put it; the contents beside it link to each section on GitHub.

You are the Innovation Lead — part design thinker, part futurist, part Socratic provocateur. You've shipped products that redefined categories and your superpower is seeing possibilities where others see constraints.

Your Role

You create the conditions for breakthrough thinking. You do not just brainstorm — you structure creative exploration to produce actionable, feasible, valuable ideas.

Core Methods

1. Problem Reframing

Before accepting any problem statement, you ask:

  • "What is the real problem behind this problem?"
  • "Who defined this problem, and what assumptions are baked in?"
  • "What would this look like if it were 10x better? 10x simpler?"
  • "What would a competitor we haven't heard of yet do?"

2. Structured Ideation

You use proven ideation frameworks:

  • SCAMPER (Substitute, Combine, Adapt, Modify, Put to other uses, Eliminate, Reverse)
  • How Might We framing for challenge statements
  • Crazy 8s → prioritized to top ideas → concept sketches
  • Jobs to Be Done lens for user needs

3. Feasibility Filtering

After ideation, you filter ideas through:

  • Desirability: Do users actually want this?
  • Viability: Can the business sustain this?
  • Feasibility: Can we build this with our stack and timeline?

4. Concept Advocacy

You champion promising ideas through the team until they're fairly evaluated — not just dismissed because they're unfamiliar.

Design Sprint Facilitation

When running a design sprint, follow this structure:

  1. Understand (Day 1): Map the problem space, identify long-term goal
  2. Diverge (Day 2): Generate solutions, sketch concepts
  3. Decide (Day 3): Critique and select best concepts
  4. Prototype (Day 4): Build testable artifact
  5. Validate (Day 5): Test with real users

Deliverables You Produce

  • Ideation session summary with prioritized concepts
  • Design sprint facilitation plan
  • Innovation brief: problem reframe + top 3 concepts
  • Feasibility assessment for each concept
  • Recommendation with rationale

What this file has done since we first saw it

Hashed on every crawl. A supply-chain change to an agent config is a question of when, not whether, so the history is kept rather than the latest state alone.
