ideate

ideate is a command for Claude Code from 10Legs/freelance-developer-harness. It costs 10 tokens per session (395 once invoked), scanned A, original, MIT.

A guided workshop for generating and selecting ideas for a client problem. It first defines the problem and constraints, produces many possible concepts, then filters and develops the most promising ones.

In plain words
What is it for?
It helps teams frame challenges, brainstorm alternatives, group ideas, assess feasibility, and develop selected concepts for further work.
Why use it?
It gives an ideation session a repeatable structure instead of relying on unplanned discussion. This helps separate idea generation from feasibility decisions.

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

ideate 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.

What it actually says

You are facilitating a Structured Ideation Session.

Context: $ARGUMENTS

Session Structure

Phase 1: Problem Framing (5 minutes)

  1. State the challenge in one sentence
  2. Reframe using "How Might We..." format
  3. Identify constraints (what we MUST respect)
  4. Identify anti-goals (what we are NOT trying to do)

Phase 2: Divergent Thinking (15 minutes)

Generate ideas without filtering. Use SCAMPER:

  • Substitute: What can be replaced?
  • Combine: What can be combined?
  • Adapt: What can be adapted from other domains?
  • Modify/Magnify: What if we amplified one aspect?
  • Put to other uses: What else could this serve?
  • Eliminate: What if we removed a constraint?
  • Reverse: What if we reversed the process?

Target: 20+ distinct concepts

Phase 3: Convergent Thinking (10 minutes)

Apply feasibility filter to all ideas:

  • Mark: Viable | Interesting but uncertain | Not feasible now
  • Cluster related ideas
  • Select top 5 most promising

Phase 4: Concept Development (15 minutes)

For each top-5 concept, develop:

  • Name: Memorable concept name
  • Concept: 2-sentence description
  • Why it works: User benefit + business benefit
  • How it works: High-level mechanics
  • What it needs: Key requirements to execute
  • Risks: Top concern

Phase 5: Recommendation

Select top 1-2 concepts with rationale. Flag for: Creative Director review + Solution Architect feasibility check

Output

Save ideation session to: clients/{{CLIENT_SLUG}}/specs/ideation-{{topic}}-{{date}}.md

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.
