sdd-idea

sdd-idea is a skill for Claude Code, Codex from felipefontoura/pi-sdd-kit. It costs 60 tokens per session (782 once invoked), scanned A, original, MIT.

A conversational workflow for exploring an early product or feature idea before committing to a plan or requirements document. It examines the problem, users, possible directions, value, constraints, and risks.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it to brainstorm, clarify, compare approaches, or prepare a raw idea for planning and formal requirements. It is not intended to execute technical work or write implementation code.
Why use it?
It helps turn an incomplete idea into a clearer problem and set of options before implementation decisions are made. The result remains exploration rather than an approved delivery plan.

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

sdd-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 9d 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.

SDD Idea

Explore an idea before turning it into a plan, requirements, or code.

Purpose

Use this skill to create cognitive clarity before formal planning. IDEA is divergent: it explores the problem space, users, alternatives, value signals, constraints, risks, and possible directions. It does not commit the user to a roadmap or implementation.

Workflow

  1. Load the SDD reference.

    • Read ../_shared/references/sdd-practical.md.
    • Apply the Language Policy: respond and write artifacts in the user's initial chat language while keeping skill instructions and templates in EN-US.
    • Read ../_shared/references/templates.md only when writing the final artifact.
    • Use package-level templates/idea.md as the user-facing template when available.
    • Load relevant .ai/steering/*.md files when present, especially product, principles, or domain context.
    • If .ai/strategy/handoff/strategy-brief.md exists, read it as optional upstream context; use it to seed exploration, but do not require it or treat it as approved SDD scope.
  2. Establish the workspace.

    • Use .ai/sdd/ideas/ for idea artifacts.
    • Create .ai/sdd/ideas/ if it does not exist.
    • If .ai/sdd/PLAN.md or .ai/sdd/specs/ exists, briefly inspect them to avoid duplicating an existing direction.
    • If using the optional strategy handoff, record it as a source path in the idea artifact.
  3. Explore the raw idea.

    • Ask one question at a time.
    • Prefer multiple-choice questions when useful.
    • Cover at least: problem, target users, current alternatives, desired outcome, constraints, success signals, and risk.
    • Do not ask implementation-first questions unless the idea is explicitly technical.
  4. Present directions.

    • Propose 2-3 possible directions.
    • Include trade-offs: speed, complexity, user value, and risk.
    • Recommend one direction, but preserve dissenting alternatives.
    • Ask the user whether to continue exploring, create a PLAN, create REQUIREMENTS directly, or archive the idea.
