idea

A command for managing ideas as they move from rough concepts to committed projects. It stores ideas and related information in a local wiki, a collection of linked project notes.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it to capture, list, show, research, shape, promote, or archive ideas, and to connect them with concepts and project records.
Why use it?
It gives ideas a consistent place and process, reducing duplicate entries and keeping research, links, status, and next actions together.

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.

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 2d 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.

Your task

Manage Ideas between compiled Concepts and committed Projects. Read skills/wiki-manager/references/ideas.md; load inventory, research, or Project references only for the operation that needs them.

Resolve HUB from $HOME/.config/llm-wiki/config.json (hub_path first), then --local, --wiki, CWD .wiki/, or HUB. Read indexes first. Writes require one active topic and never go at hub root.

Natural language is primary. Infer new, list, show, develop, shape, promote, or archive; resolve phrases such as "the podcast thing" from the conversation, titles, aliases, and Idea indexes. Derive safe slugs.

Capture: new [<slug>] "<seed>"

Check Idea titles/aliases, relevant Concepts/inventory, and Project slugs for duplicates. Link related Ideas; never merge automatically.

  1. Lazily create inventory/ideas/ and its _index.md.
  2. Write inventory/ideas/<slug>.md with required inventory fields, kind: idea, status: proposed, default priority: p2, next_action, and related wiki/source links when known.
  3. Preserve the exact seed under ## Original Seed. Add concise sections for opportunity, target, evidence, assumptions/counterevidence, alternatives, current shape, scope/no-gos, risks, questions, success criteria, intended deliverable, and decision notes.
  4. Rebuild indexes and log idea | captured <slug>.

Do not duplicate the seed as a raw note or create a Project.

Catalog: list and show

Read the Idea index first; hub-wide lists read only active topics' Idea indexes. Filter by status, maturity, priority, topic, tags/aliases, owner, next action, or Project. Default to a short list.

Derive maturity: captured when the record exists; researching from linked raw research; shaped from approved_at plus an Approved Decision Snapshot; project from a linked non-empty WHY.md; delivered from a linked outcome/deliverable. Never add a synchronized stage field.

Develop: develop <slug>

Read the Idea, linked Concepts, and indexes; research only gaps. Evidence goes in raw/, reusable synthesis in wiki/, and the Idea distinguishes evidence, assumptions, contradictions, and unknowns. Update status/date/next action, indexes, and log. Research never implies approval or Project creation.

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 nvk/llm-wiki (1,175 stars, last pushed 5d ago), licensed MIT. It adds 18 tokens to every session and 1,007 once invoked, about $0.0001 per session on Opus 5. 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 2026-08-30.
