name: idea-storer description: This skill should be used when the user mentions "ideas", "IS", "idea storer", "check my ideas", "what should I work on", "project ideas", "pending features", or asks about brainstorming. Reads and interprets stored development ideas from IDEA Storer CLI for context-aware task planning.

IDEA Storer (IS) Integration

A CLI tool for capturing development ideas that AI agents can understand.

Discovery

Check for ideas in this order:

1. Project-specific: .ideas.json in current directory or git root
2. Global fallback: ~/.config/ideastorer/ideas.json

Reading Ideas

When user says "check IS", "my ideas", or "what should I work on":

1. Read the .ideas.json file using the Read tool
2. Parse the JSON and extract active ideas
3. Present relevant ideas based on current context
4. Suggest which ideas relate to current work

JSON Schema

Copy{
  "version": "1.0.0",
  "ideas": [
    {
      "id": "abc12345",
      "content": "The idea text",
      "tags": ["tag1", "tag2"],
      "priority": "low|medium|high",
      "status": "active|done|archived",
      "created_at": "ISO8601",
      "context": {
        "project": "project-name",
        "git_branch": "branch-name"
      }
    }
  ]
}

CLI Commands

Copyis "quick idea"              # Add idea instantly

is export                    # Export as JSON
is export --format md        # Export as Markdown

Workflow Integration

Before Starting Work

Copy"Check IS for ideas related to [current task]"
→ Read .ideas.json
→ Filter by relevant tags
→ Present actionable items

During Implementation

• Reference idea IDs in commit messages
• Cross-check implementation against stored ideas
• Suggest related ideas that could be addressed

After Completion

Copy"Mark idea <id> as done"
→ Run: is done <id>
→ Confirm completion

Example Interactions

User: "What should I work on?" Action: Read .ideas.json, present high-priority active ideas

User: "Check IS for auth ideas" Action: Search ideas with "auth" or tag "authentication"

User: "Add to IS: implement caching" Action: Run is add "implement caching" -t performance
