idea

A command for recording a rough idea in queues/IDEAS.md without reviewing or changing it. The file is a project list of unprocessed ideas.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it after /idea to save a note with the current date, then use /process-ideas later to assess it against the project’s specifications.
Why use it?
It gives unfinished thoughts a clear place without forcing an immediate decision or specification. This keeps idea capture separate from idea evaluation.

Made for: Claude Code.

Per session 0 Only the description is in the session, so the agent can decide to use it. The body loads when it is invoked.
When invoked 205 The whole file, excluding the scripts and references it only reads on demand.
Security scan A 0 findings. Scan, not verified.
Origin original No closer match found in the catalogue.
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.

What it actually says

Capture a rough idea and append it to queues/IDEAS.md without evaluating or processing it.

Steps

  1. The user's idea is whatever they wrote after /idea. If no text was provided, ask them to describe the idea in one or a few sentences.
  2. If queues/IDEAS.md does not exist at the project root, create it with a minimal header:
    # Ideas
    
    Rough notes and unprocessed ideas. Run `/process-ideas` to evaluate these against the specs.
    
  3. Append the idea as a new bullet under a ## Unprocessed section (create that section if it doesn't exist), including today's date:
    - [YYYY-MM-DD] <idea text>
    
  4. Confirm to the user that the idea was saved and remind them they can run /process-ideas when ready to evaluate it.

Do not interpret, refine, or evaluate the idea — record it exactly as the user expressed it.

Changes

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 pinecone-io/rings (5 stars, last pushed 16d ago), licensed Apache-2.0. It costs nothing until one of its globs matches a file; then it loads 205 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 2026-08-31.
