idea-to-build

idea-to-build is a skill for Claude Code, Codex from build-with-dhiraj/ai-workflow-framework-portability-kit. It costs 121 tokens per session (1,550 once invoked), scanned A, original, MIT.

A four-step workflow that turns an idea into shipped code: brainstorm it, record work as tracker tickets, make a repository-based plan, and coordinate coding agents to implement it.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it to turn a rough idea into dependent tickets, plan changes against the actual codebase, and coordinate agents that build the planned work.
Why use it?
It keeps decisions and progress in a shared ticket tracker instead of an easily lost chat, so work can resume across sessions and devices.

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-to-build 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 1mo 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.

How it starts

The opening of the file, as written. The whole thing — 61 lines — stays where its author put it; the contents beside it link to each section on GitHub.

Idea → Build Pipeline (global, model-tiered)

A cross-surface pipeline that separates ideation, specification, architecture, and implementation by model tier and surface. The durable state between stages is the ticket tracker — never a chat transcript. Any new session (any device) resumes by reading the tracker.

Why tiers: Sonnet is a cheap, fast divergent thinker — ideal brainstorm partner. Fable is the scarce, expensive judgment — spend it ONLY on architecture, planning, review gating, and orchestration. Opus 4.8 agents are strong implementers at a fraction of Fable's cost. Fable never writes the code; it instructs agents who do. Same output quality, fraction of the price.

The four stages

# Stage Surface Model State it produces
1 Brainstorm Anywhere — claude.ai chat, phone, or Claude Code Sonnet A fleshed-out idea (scope, constraints, decisions)
2 Ticketize Same surface as 1 (needs tracker MCP) Sonnet Tickets with dependencies, blockers, human/agent tags
3 Plan MUST be in the project repo (Claude Code) Fable Build plan grounded in tickets + actual repo state
4 Execute Project repo (Claude Code) Fable orchestrates; Opus 4.8 agents implement Shipped, reviewed code; tickets closed

Hard gate: Stages 3–4 never happen in a plain chat. They require the project file — Fable must see the real repo (what already exists, conventions, migrations half-done) alongside the tickets.

Stage 1 — Brainstorm (Sonnet, anywhere)

  • Role: thought partner. Ask probing questions, run WebSearch/research on demand, surface trade-offs, converge on scope. Brain-dump friendly.
  • In Claude Code: switch with /model sonnet, then use superpowers:brainstorming (or product-management:product-brainstorming for product/feature ideation, per global precedence).
  • On claude.ai/phone: plain chat works — no repo needed. Ensure the tracker connector is enabled on claude.ai so Stage 2 can run from the same conversation.
  • Done when: the idea's scope, non-goals, and key decisions are settled enough that ticketizing wouldn't invent anything.

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.
