idea

idea is a command for coding agents from bacchus-labs/wrangler. It costs 13 tokens per session (255 once invoked), scanned A, original, MIT.

A command that saves a new idea exactly as the user wrote it in the project's idea storage.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it with `/idea` to send an idea to a background agent and save it under `.wrangler/ideas/` with project metadata.
Why use it?
It preserves the original wording instead of changing or interpreting the idea during capture.

Install

Getting it into your agent

One page per mod, every tool's command on it. A separate URL per tool would split the same page into five that compete with each other.

agentmods
npx agentmods add commands/bacchus-labs/wrangler/idea
Clone the repo
git clone --depth 1 https://github.com/bacchus-labs/wrangler

Or install wrangler, the plugin that ships this one along with the rest of its 25 skills, 16 commands, 16 agents.

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

idea 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

Capture New Idea

Parse Arguments

Extract the full text after /idea:

  • Everything after /idea is the idea content
  • Preserve exact wording, punctuation, formatting
  • Do NOT interpret, enhance, or rewrite

Execute

Use the Task tool to dispatch a background agent:

Task tool with:
- subagent_type: "general-purpose"
- run_in_background: true
- description: "Capture new idea"
- prompt: |
    Use the wrangler:capturing-ideas skill to capture this idea verbatim:

    """
    $IDEA_TEXT
    """

    The skill will:
    - Use MCP issues_create tool with type='idea'
    - Preserve exact wording (no interpretation)
    - Save to .wrangler/ideas/ with proper frontmatter
    - Clean up any weird characters if needed

Confirm

After dispatching the background agent, tell the user:

✓ Capturing idea in background...

Your idea will be saved to .wrangler/ideas/ with proper MCP frontmatter.

That's it. Let the background agent handle the rest.

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.
