ideation

ideation is a skill for Claude Code, Codex from S3YED/appie-kit. It costs 10 tokens per session (1,483 once invoked), scanned A, a copy of ideation, MIT.

A method for coming up with project ideas by applying creative constraints, such as a small time limit or a specific problem to solve.

In plain words
What is it for?
It suggests concrete ideas for software, art, hardware, writing, or other projects, and can guide the user toward building a selected idea.
Why use it?
It helps when you want to build something but have no clear direction or are facing too many possible choices.

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 3d 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 — 152 lines — stays where its author put it; the contents beside it link to each section on GitHub.

Creative Ideation

When to use

Use when the user says 'I want to build something', 'give me a project idea', 'I'm bored', 'what should I make', 'inspire me', or any variant of 'I have tools but no direction'. Works for code, art, hardware, writing, tools, and anything that can be made.

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.

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.
