ideate

A design-idea workflow that creates image-based alternatives, remixes, or new visual directions from a product brief.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it to explore design variants for a component, screen, feature, workflow, or broader product idea.
Why use it?
It helps when a written product idea needs several visual concepts before one direction is built.

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 2d 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 — 192 lines — stays where its author put it; the contents beside it link to each section on GitHub.

Ideate

You're tasked with generating design concepts for a user's idea.

Follow the shared Product Design routing guidance in $index.

Critical Overrides

User Context

Before starting, load $user-context and run its preflight script when local shell access is available.

Attach provided product URLs, Figma files, screenshots, reference images, codebase paths, Storybook, tokens, design systems, brand assets, component refs, browser preferences, and share targets to the Image Gen generations to align them to the design brief.

Do not inspect every saved reference. Inspect only what the current task needs.

Workflow

Do not generate images until $get-context has satisfied the minimum required design brief.

Before generating images:

  1. Understand the brief.
  • Identify the target: component, screen, feature/workflow, or broad product idea.
  • Identify the intended user, product surface, and goal.
  • Preserve hard constraints from the user.
  • Run get-context if the minimum required design brief isn't satisfied.
  1. Resolve context.
  • Use provided files, screenshots, links, and visible references.
  • In a local workspace, look for nearby design documentation and other local visual context.
  • Check likely design context folders such as user-context, storybook/, .storybook/, design-system/, design-systems/, tokens/, components/, app/, and generated prototype roots.
  • In an existing project, look for existing product screenshots, similar flows, Storybook captures, design tokens, and component references before generating. Ask if the user can provide example screens similar to the one they are building if the existing app isn't accessible. Ensure you add design language and tokens to the Image Gen prompt.
  1. Inspect references directly.
  • Look at screenshots, images, Figma frames, app surfaces, or other visual references before generating.
  • Do not infer from filenames alone.
  • If a named local path or reference is not visible, stop and ask the user to confirm the path, upload the file, start the local app, or point to the correct workspace.

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.

ideate is a skill published in the GitHub repository XiaomiMiMo/MiMo-Code (12,904 stars, last pushed 2d ago), licensed MIT. It adds 44 tokens to every session and 2,578 once invoked, about $0.0002 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.
