ideation

ideation is a skill for Claude Code, Codex from moltis-org/moltis. It costs 75 tokens per session (1,445 once invoked), scanned A, original, MIT.

A creative prompt system for generating project ideas from constraints. It covers software, art, hardware, writing, and other things you can make.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it to generate three concrete ideas, such as small developer tools, workflow automations, command-line programs, or projects shaped by a chosen constraint.
Why use it?
It helps when you want to build something but have no clear direction, by turning a broad goal into specific starting points.

About the project

Moltis is a persistent personal agent server written in Rust that runs on hardware controlled by its user. It provides an AI agent with sandboxed command execution, model-provider connections, memory, voice, scheduling, messaging integrations, browser automation, and MCP tools. Its catalogue add-ons extend the agent’s workflows and available tools.

Getting it into your agent

One page per mod, every tool's command on it. A separate URL per tool would split the same page into five that compete with each other.

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

ideation 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 6d 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 — 143 lines — stays where its author put it; the contents beside it link to each section on GitHub.

Creative Ideation

Generate project ideas through creative constraints. Constraint + direction = creativity.

How It Works

  1. Pick a constraint from the library below — random, or matched to the user's domain/mood
  2. Interpret it broadly — a coding prompt can become a hardware project, an art prompt can become a CLI tool
  3. Generate 3 concrete project ideas that satisfy the constraint
  4. If they pick one, build it — create the project, write the code, ship it

The Rule

Every prompt is interpreted as broadly as possible. "Does this include X?" → Yes. The prompts provide direction and mild constraint. Without either, there is no creativity.

Constraint Library

For Developers

Solve your own itch: Build the tool you wished existed this week. Under 50 lines. Ship it today.

Automate the annoying thing: What's the most tedious part of your workflow? Script it away. Two hours to fix a problem that costs you five minutes a day.

The CLI tool that should exist: Think of a command you've wished you could type. git undo-that-thing-i-just-did. docker why-is-this-broken. npm explain-yourself. Now build it.

Nothing new except glue: Make something entirely from existing APIs, libraries, and datasets. The only original contribution is how you connect them.

Frankenstein week: Take something that does X and make it do Y. A git repo that plays music. A Dockerfile that generates poetry. A cron job that sends compliments.

Subtract: How much can you remove from a codebase before it breaks? Strip a tool to its minimum viable function. Delete until only the essence remains.

High concept, low effort: A deep idea, lazily executed. The concept should be brilliant. The implementation should take an afternoon. If it takes longer, you're overthinking it.

For Makers & Artists

Blatantly copy something: Pick something you admire — a tool, an artwork, an interface. Recreate it from scratch. The learning is in the gap between your version and theirs.

What ships with it

1 file beside SKILL.md in the same directory: the scripts, references and assets a skill reads on demand. Not counted in the per-session cost; read them before you install if any of them is executable.

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.
