Idea Generator Skill

Generates a ranked shortlist of 3-5 app ideas tailored to the developer's skills, interests, and constraints. Output is formatted to feed directly into the product-agent skill for validation.

When This Skill Activates

Use this skill when the user:

Doesn't have an app idea yet
Says "what should I build?" or "I don't know what to build"
Wants to brainstorm app ideas
Is stuck after a previous idea was rejected or abandoned
Wants to explore what's possible with a specific technology (e.g., "what can I build with Foundation Models?")
Wants inspiration based on their skills or domain expertise
Asks for a brainstorm session

Already has a specific idea? Skip this skill. Use the product-agent skill instead.

What This Skill Does

1. Developer Profile Elicitation

Gathers context about the developer to personalize ideas:

Technical skills — Languages, frameworks, platforms (Swift, SwiftUI, UIKit, CloudKit, etc.)
Domain interests — Health, finance, productivity, education, creativity, etc.
Platform preference — iOS, macOS, iPadOS, watchOS, visionOS, or multi-platform
Time availability — Side project (5-10 hrs/week), full-time, weekend hack
Constraints — Budget, backend experience, design skills, existing audience

2. Five Brainstorming Lenses

Each lens generates 5-8 raw ideas. Lenses are applied in order:

Skills & Interests — What can you uniquely build given what you know?
Problem-First — What took 30 seconds today that should take 5? What's annoying?
Technology-First — Which Apple frameworks have few indie apps? (Foundation Models, ActivityKit, WidgetKit, VisionKit, WeatherKit, MapKit)
Market Gap — Where are App Store categories underserved, stale, or overpriced?
Trend-Based — What macro trends create new app opportunities? (AI-native, privacy-first, health/wellness, single-use utilities, Apple Silicon productivity)
