idea

idea is a skill for Claude Code, Codex from me2resh/apexyard. It costs 24 tokens per session (2,954 once invoked), scanned A, original, MIT.

A command for recording a new product, feature, or internal-tool idea in an ideas backlog, a shared list of proposals waiting for review. It can optionally create a tracking GitHub issue.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it to capture an idea, save it in the project's configured backlog, and optionally create a GitHub issue for tracking.
Why use it?
It keeps ideas from being lost in chat and separates early proposals from a detailed product specification, which is written later after review.

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 5d 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 — 284 lines — stays where its author put it; the contents beside it link to each section on GitHub.

/idea — Submit a New Product Idea

Capture a new product, feature, or internal-tool idea so it lands somewhere durable instead of evaporating in chat. This skill is intentionally lightweight: it adds an entry to the ideas backlog and (optionally) creates a tracking GitHub Issue. It does not replace /write-spec — that comes later, after the idea has been triaged.

Path resolution

Read the registry path via portfolio_registry, the per-project docs dir via portfolio_projects_dir, and the ideas backlog via portfolio_ideas_backlog — all from .claude/hooks/_lib-portfolio-paths.sh. Source the helper at the top of any bash block that touches those paths:

source "$(git rev-parse --show-toplevel)/.claude/hooks/_lib-read-config.sh"
source "$(git rev-parse --show-toplevel)/.claude/hooks/_lib-portfolio-paths.sh"
registry=$(portfolio_registry)

Defaults match today's single-fork layout (./apexyard.projects.yaml, ./projects, ./projects/ideas-backlog.md). Adopters in split-portfolio mode override the portfolio.{registry, projects_dir, ideas_backlog} keys in .claude/project-config.json. Don't hardcode literal apexyard.projects.yaml or projects/ paths in bash blocks — the helper resolves whichever mode the adopter is in. See docs/multi-project.md.

Usage

/idea Auto-tag inbound emails by intent
/idea Internal CLI for resetting staging data
/idea New product: AI design system linter

Where the entry goes

Every idea lands in projects/ideas-backlog.md at the root of your ops repo (your fork of apexyard). One shared backlog for every project — triage decides which project ends up owning a given idea.

If the file doesn't exist yet, create it with a header and a table.

Process

0. Write the active-issue-skill marker (REQUIRED — me2resh/apexyard#268)

Before any gh issue create (or other tracker CLI), write this skill's name to the active-issue-skill marker so require-skill-for-issue-create.sh lets the command through. At skill entry:

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.
