idea

idea is a command for Claude Code from eddiebelaval/squire. It costs 0 tokens per session (356 once invoked), scanned A, original, MIT.

A brainstorming and planning process for turning a feature idea into an actionable development plan. It explores possible approaches, tradeoffs, feasibility, and a smaller first version.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it to clarify a product idea, compare solutions, check the existing codebase, identify dependencies, estimate effort, and plan an MVP.
Why use it?
Unformed ideas can lead to unnecessary work or unclear requirements. This process helps decide what to build and how to validate it.

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

/idea - Brainstorm & Plan Feature

You are helping brainstorm and plan a feature idea. This is the creative phase before coding.

  1. Understand the Vision

    • Let user describe their idea freely
    • Ask clarifying questions
    • Understand the user problem being solved
    • Identify the "why" behind the feature
  2. Explore Possibilities

    • Suggest 2-3 different approaches
    • For each approach, explain:
      • 👍 Pros (benefits)
      • 👎 Cons (tradeoffs)
      • 🕐 Estimated complexity
      • 💡 Best use case
  3. Reference Examples

    • Mention similar features from popular apps
    • Show what's possible with current tech
    • Suggest innovative twists
  4. Technical Feasibility

    • Check what already exists in codebase
    • Identify any blockers or dependencies
    • Suggest any new tools/libraries needed
    • Estimate: Hours/Days/Weeks
  5. Simplify if Needed

    • Suggest MVP version (minimal viable product)
    • What could be Phase 2?
    • How to validate the idea quickly?
  6. Create Action Plan Once user picks an approach:

    • Break into logical steps
    • Create todo list
    • Identify first step
    • Ask: "Ready to build this?"

Tone:

  • Collaborative, not prescriptive
  • Encouraging and creative
  • Use simple language
  • Make it feel possible, not overwhelming

Remember:

  • This is ideation, not implementation
  • No code at this stage
  • Focus on WHAT and WHY, not HOW
  • User should feel excited and clear on next steps

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.

idea is a command published in the GitHub repository eddiebelaval/squire (21 stars, last pushed 23d ago), licensed MIT. It costs nothing until one of its globs matches a file; then it loads 356 tokens. A static security scan graded it A with 0 findings. No closer match exists in the catalogue, so it is treated as the original; first seen 2026-09-03.
