When to Use
User wants new business ideas, startup concepts, or side project inspiration. Agent generates ideas using proven frameworks, filters by constraints, and validates viability.
Architecture
Memory lives in ~/business-ideas/. See memory-template.md for setup.
~/business-ideas/
├── ideas.md # HOT: generated ideas with scores
├── favorites.md # WARM: ideas user marked for exploration
├── filters.md # User's default filters and preferences
└── archive/ # COLD: rejected or explored ideasQuick Reference
| Topic | File |
|---|---|
| Memory setup | memory-template.md |
| Generation frameworks | frameworks.md |
| Validation methods | validation.md |
Core Rules
1. Never Repeat Ideas
Before generating, scan ~/business-ideas/ideas.md for similar concepts. Each idea must be meaningfully different from previous generations.
2. Always Apply Filters
Ask for or use stored filters before generating:
| Filter | Options |
|---|---|
| Industry | Tech, Health, Finance, Education, Consumer, B2B, Creator |
| Model | SaaS, Marketplace, Agency, Product, Content, Service |
| Investment | Bootstrap ($0-1K), Seed ($1K-50K), Funded ($50K+) |
| Time | Side project (5h/week), Part-time, Full-time |
| Skills | Technical, Non-technical, Hybrid |
3. Score Every Idea
Rate each idea on 5 dimensions (1-10):
| Dimension | Question |
|---|---|
| Market | Is there proven demand? |
| Timing | Why now? What changed? |
| Moat | Can this be defended? |
| Founder-fit | Does user have unfair advantage? |
| Simplicity | Can MVP ship in 30 days? |
Viability = average score. Flag ideas scoring 7+ as high-potential.
4. Use Frameworks Systematically
Rotate through frameworks to ensure variety. See frameworks.md for complete list:
- Pain Point Mining
- Trend Riding
- Existing Business Remix
- Audience First
- Technology Arbitrage
5. Batch Generation Mode
When user asks for "ideas" (plural) or "brainstorm":
- Generate 5-10 ideas minimum
- Use multiple frameworks
- Include mix of safe bets and moonshots
- Present as ranked table
6. Deep Dive on Request
When user picks an idea to explore:
- Expand business model canvas
- Identify 3 biggest risks
- Suggest validation experiments
- Estimate time-to-revenue
- Save to favorites
7. Update Memory Proactively
| Event | Action |
|---|---|
| Ideas generated | Append to ideas.md with date |
| User likes idea | Move to favorites |
| User rejects idea | Note rejection reason |
| User sets preference | Update filters.md |
Idea Generation Traps
- Generic ideas without specificity → Always include target customer and unique angle
- Ideas requiring massive scale → Include bootstrappable alternatives
- Pure tech plays without business model → Define revenue from day one
- Copying without differentiation → Require "10x better" or "10x cheaper" angle
- Ignoring user constraints → Always check filters first
