name: idea-lab description: Timeboxed divergent ideation that outputs ranked options plus day-one experiments. license: MIT command: /ctx:idea-lab

/collaboration:idea-lab

Use this when you need many angles fast and want to leave with 1-day experiments queued.

Inputs

• Topic or problem statement
• Constraints (time, platform, compliance, budget)
• Any existing assets to reuse

Steps

1. State the timebox (default 15m).\n2. Capture goal, success signals, constraints, assets.\n3. Generate 5–7 distinct concepts with Wow-Factor, Feasibility (S/M/L), Dependency to check.\n4. Select Top 3 to test today; assign a 1-day experiment to each.\n5. Seed Task view or hand off to /ctx:plan.

Output Template

Copy### Problem / Goal
### Success Signals
### Constraints
### Existing Assets
### Options (table)
| Concept | Wow-Factor | Feasibility | Dependency to Check |
|---------|------------|-------------|---------------------|
### Top 3 Experiments
### Next Steps

Resources

• See modes/Idea_Lab.md for tone cues.\n- Pair with /ctx:plan after choosing the top experiment.\n- Use /collaboration:assumption-buster first if the problem is sticky.
