product-ideation is a skill for Claude Code from QBall-Inc/the-bulwark. It costs 55 tokens per session (4,128 once invoked), scanned A, original, MIT.

A product-idea evaluation process that uses six research roles to study an idea, its market, competitors, and target users, then gives a BUY, HOLD, or SELL recommendation.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it to research a new product concept, assess its viability, study its market, or decide whether to build it.

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

product-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 11d 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 — 381 lines — stays where its author put it; the contents beside it link to each section on GitHub.

Product Ideation

Evaluates a product idea through a structured six-agent research pipeline and delivers a BUY/HOLD/SELL recommendation. The orchestrator interviews the user to clarify the idea, then spawns dedicated sub-agents for validation, market research, competitive analysis, pattern documentation, segment analysis, and final strategy. All analysis is grounded in web research and structured frameworks.


When to Use This Skill

Load this skill when the user request matches ANY of these patterns:

Trigger Pattern Example User Request
Idea evaluation "Is this product idea worth pursuing?", "Evaluate my idea: X"
Market analysis "Research the market for X", "Should I build X?"
Investment-style assessment "Give me a BUY/HOLD/SELL on this idea", "Validate my product concept"
Pre-build research "Before I start building X, help me understand the landscape"

DO NOT use for:

  • Evaluating existing live products or companies (use a financial analysis skill instead)
  • Technical architecture decisions for an already-committed product (the idea stage has passed)
  • Competitive analysis in isolation without a product idea as the anchor

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.
