ideating

ideating is a skill for Claude Code from isvlasov/rageatc-oss. It costs 37 tokens per session (910 once invoked), scanned A, original, MIT.

An idea-capture and brainstorming workflow for exploring thoughts before choosing a direction. It supports quick notes, guided discussion, and reviewing saved ideas.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it to save an idea, brainstorm around a problem, or review stored ideas and decide which ones to pursue.
Why use it?
It helps preserve fleeting thoughts without forcing structure, while giving more shape to ideas when deeper exploration is useful.

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

ideating 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 8d 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 — 71 lines — stays where its author put it; the contents beside it link to each section on GitHub.

Ideating

Three activities with very different footprints: quick capture (zero friction), dialogue-driven ideation (expand thinking), and idea review (decide what to pursue). Match the activity to what the user brings — and keep capture frictionless above all.

Skip this skill when the user already knows what they want (understanding-the-ask) or is evaluating a specific solution (solutioning).

Activity 1 — Quick capture

The user has a thought and wants it preserved before it vanishes.

  1. Accept whatever is given — a phrase, a sentence, a question.
  2. Append to the project's ideas.md with the date and a one-line summary (format below).
  3. Confirm saved, move on.

No forced formality: if the user says "quick idea: versioned skills", write exactly that. Don't expand, structure, or ask clarifying questions unless the user wants dialogue.

Activity 2 — Dialogue-driven ideation

Frame the exploration first — "What are we exploring? Starting fresh, or building on something?" A rough focus is enough; it doesn't need to be a problem statement.

Pick facilitation techniques to fit, and use them naturally without naming them ("What if we looked at this from a purely emotional perspective?", not "Now we're using Red Hat thinking"):

  • Expansive exploration — SCAMPER prompts (substitute? combine? adapt?), analogies from other domains, random connections
  • Perspective-shifting — Six Thinking Hats lenses, stakeholder viewpoints, "How might we" questions
  • Assumption-surfacing — "What are we assuming must be true?", reverse an assumption and explore what becomes possible

Your highest value is introducing new dimensions, not elaborating what's already there:

  • "What domain completely unrelated to this solves a similar challenge?"
  • "What would someone with opposite expertise notice that we're missing?"
  • "What becomes possible if we reverse [key constraint]?"

Keep divergence and convergence separate, and signal transitions explicitly: "we're generating possibilities now — no evaluation yet" → "let's shift to the critical lens". Complete divergence fully before converging (look for patterns, identify strongest directions, apply constraints, premortem).

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.

ideating is a skill published in the GitHub repository isvlasov/rageatc-oss (9 stars, last pushed 1mo ago), licensed MIT. It adds 37 tokens to every session and 910 once invoked, about $0.0002 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 2026-08-31.
