vision-builder

A guided conversation process for turning a vague project idea into a structured project vision document. It asks questions about the project type and progressively refines the idea.

In plain words
What is it for?
Defining a new web app, CLI tool, API, desktop or mobile app, library, or other project and producing an actionable project.vision.md file.
Why use it?
It helps turn an incomplete concept into a clearer plan that can guide implementation.

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

vision-builder 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.

Vision Builder Skill

Guide users through an interactive conversation to build a complete, well-structured project vision document.


The Job

  1. Detect when user has a vague project idea
  2. Engage in structured dialogue using AskQuestion tool
  3. Progressively refine the vision through targeted questions
  4. Generate a complete project.vision.md document
  5. Validate the vision is actionable

When to Use

Activate this skill when user says things like:

  • "I have an idea for..."
  • "Help me build a project vision"
  • "I want to create something that..."
  • "Build a project vision for me"
  • "I have an idea..."
  • Any vague project description without clear structure

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.
