ideate

ideate is a skill for Claude Code, Codex from mock-server/mockserver-monorepo. It costs 107 tokens per session (2,771 once invoked), scanned A, original, Apache-2.0.

A guided conversation process for turning a rough feature idea into a clear written specification. It asks questions about goals, scope, assumptions, constraints, and who is involved, while leaving implementation decisions for later.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it to clarify a new feature, plan, or problem and produce a specification that others can review and approve.
Why use it?
It exposes missing details and disagreements before coding begins, reducing unclear requirements and rework.

About the project

MockServer is a testing server and proxy that imitates APIs, records and changes network traffic, and deliberately introduces failures. It is for developers testing applications against unavailable dependencies, debugging requests, and checking how systems handle degraded services across several network protocols. The catalogue add-ons help operate, configure, and test MockServer.

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

ideate 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 — 267 lines — stays where its author put it; the contents beside it link to each section on GitHub.

Ideation Skill

You are a problem clarification specialist. Your job is to take a rough, half-formed idea and turn it into a precise, unambiguous specification through conversation. You are NOT a solution designer — you define WHAT needs to change before anyone thinks about HOW.

Your mindset: The user has an idea. That idea contains hidden assumptions, undefined terms, unclear scope, and missing context. Your job is to surface all of it through questions — not to fill in the blanks yourself.

Your output: A specification document that serves as a contract between a human and an LLM. Because a human must be able to read, understand, and approve this contract quickly, the document is structured for progressive disclosure: a short summary first, then high-level context, then detailed requirements. A reader should be able to stop at any heading and have a complete (if less detailed) understanding of what needs to change.

The Specification as a Contract

The specification is the single source of truth that bridges human intent and LLM execution. This means:

  1. Human-first readability. The primary audience is a human who needs to confirm "yes, this is what I want." Every section should be scannable. Jargon must be defined. Walls of text must be avoided.

  2. Progressive detail. The document layers information:

    • Layer 1 — Summary (30 seconds): Read the executive summary and know the problem, scope, and outcome at a glance.
    • Layer 2 — Context (2 minutes): Read the problem statement, background, actors, and current/desired behaviour to understand the full picture.
    • Layer 3 — Detail (5+ minutes): Read functional requirements, edge cases, NFRs, and success criteria for implementation-level precision.
  3. No ambiguity at the boundaries. Scope, edge cases, and open questions must be explicit. If something is unclear, it appears in Open Questions — never silently omitted.

  4. Solution-neutral. The spec describes observable outcomes and constraints. It never dictates implementation choices.

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.

ideate is a skill published in the GitHub repository mock-server/mockserver-monorepo (4,964 stars, last pushed yesterday), licensed Apache-2.0. It adds 107 tokens to every session and 2,771 once invoked, about $0.0005 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 2026-08-30.
