rqrqrqrq/idea-clawdbot

Overview

This skill launches background Clawdbot sessions to explore and analyze business ideas end-to-end. Say "Idea: [description]" to spawn a sub-agent that performs market research, technical analysis, GTM planning and writes a comprehensive research.md. Results are saved under ~/clawd/ideas/<slug>/research.md and the file plus a short verdict are sent back to the current chat.

How this skill works

The skill detects the "Idea:" trigger, converts the description into a URL-friendly slug, and uses sessions_spawn to start a background research session with a prepared prompt template. The sub-agent runs autonomously, compiles research into a file, and when finished the main agent returns the saved research.md and a concise verdict summary to the same chat. All processing is native to Clawdbot and requires no external CLIs or services.

When to use it

• You have a new product or startup idea you want a rapid, structured assessment for.
• You need market sizing, competitor mapping, or MVP scoping without manual research.
• You want a documented research artifact stored in ~/clawd/ideas for later review.
• You prefer analysis delivered asynchronously so you can continue other work.
• You want a clear verdict and next-step recommendations (yes/conditional/pivot/pass).

Best practices

• Start prompts with "Idea: [one-sentence description]" and add important context in a second sentence.
• Keep idea descriptions specific (target user, core value) for faster, higher-quality results.
• Check session progress via Clawdbot sessions list/history if you want live status.
• Use the saved research.md directory to track changes, iterate, or fork ideas later.
• Allow 3–5 minutes for a full analysis; expect longer for very broad or complex ideas.

Example use cases

• Validate a mobile app concept with market sizing and competitor gaps.
• Scope an AI/Machine Learning MVP with technical stack recommendations.
• Generate a go-to-market plan and initial acquisition channels for a SaaS idea.
• Assess regulatory or compliance risks for health/finance-related concepts.
• Produce a documented research file to attach to investor or team discussions.
