ideate

ideate is a command for Claude Code from monoes/monomind. It costs 29 tokens per session (2,983 once invoked), scanned A, original, Apache-2.0.

A command that researches and evaluates an idea, then breaks it into smaller tasks saved in project documents or a task board. A task board is a shared list of work to do.

In plain words
What is it for?
Assessing a product or feature idea, identifying subtasks, and recording the resulting plan.
Why use it?
It turns an unstructured proposal into researched findings and work that can be acted on.

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 yesterday.

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 — 261 lines — stays where its author put it; the contents beside it link to each section on GitHub.

First — extract repeat flags: Follow the REPEAT PREAMBLE from mastermind-repeat/SKILL.md. Extracts --repeat, --tillend, --maxruns, --wait, --rep, --loop from $ARGUMENTS before all other parsing. If is_continuation = true, skip the empty-arguments check below.

If $ARGUMENTS is empty, output this and STOP:

Usage: /mastermind:ideate <prompt>

Example: /mastermind:ideate add real-time collaboration to the editor

By default, ideas are saved to docs/ideas/YYYY-MM-DD-<slug>.md. Add --monotask to write to a monotask board instead.

Do NOT proceed further if no arguments were provided.

Extract --monotask flag: If present, set USE_MONOTASK=true and remove from $ARGUMENTS. Default: USE_MONOTASK=false.


Step 0: Check monotask CLI (skip unless --monotask was passed)

Only run this step if USE_MONOTASK=true.

command -v monotask || (command -v cargo && cargo install monotask)

If neither exists, tell user to install Rust + monotask and STOP.


Step 1: Gather Project Context

Collect ALL of the following in parallel (skip any that error):

  1. Repo name: Run git remote get-url origin, extract the last path segment, strip .git. Fallback: basename of the current working directory. Store as REPO_NAME.

  2. README: Read README.md (first 200 lines). Skip if missing.

  3. Package manifest: Read whichever exists first: package.json, Cargo.toml, pyproject.toml, go.mod. Extract name, description, and keywords/tags.

  4. Knowledge graph: Call mcp__monomind__monograph_suggest with the user's prompt ($ARGUMENTS). Skip if it errors or returns empty.

  5. Memory search: Call mcp__monomind__memory_pattern-search with the user's prompt ($ARGUMENTS). Use the top 5 results.

Bundle all gathered information into a single PROJECT_CONTEXT string for downstream agents.


Step 2: Setup Storage

File mode (default):

DATE=$(date +%Y-%m-%d)
SLUG=$(echo "$ARGUMENTS" | tr '[:upper:]' '[:lower:]' | sed 's/[^a-z0-9]/-/g; s/-\+/-/g; s/^-//; s/-$//' | cut -c1-40)
IDEA_FILE="docs/ideas/${DATE}-${SLUG}.md"
mkdir -p docs/ideas

Write the file header using the Write tool:

---
source: mastermind:ideate
repo: <REPO_NAME>
created: <DATE>
prompt: <first 100 chars of $ARGUMENTS>
---

# Ideas: <$ARGUMENTS>

Store IDEA_FILE.

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.
