About idea-refine

idea-refine

Refines raw ideas into sharp

idea-refine is an agent skill from Addy Osmani's agent-skills collection that turns a raw, vague idea into a sharp, actionable concept through structured divergent and convergent thinking. It works in three stages. First, understand and expand: the agent restates the idea, asks sharpening questions and generates variations. Second, evaluate and converge: it clusters the ideas, stress-tests them and surfaces hidden assumptions. Third, sharpen and ship: it produces a concrete one-page markdown document that moves the work forward. The skill applies when an idea is still vague and needs shaping before it can become a plan, when assumptions need stress-testing before committing to a direction, and when a person wants more options before choosing one. It is not the right skill for someone who is unsure what they want at all, which the collection's interview skill handles, or for a direction that has already been chosen and needs a specification. The skill is listed on skills.sh, with its security audit results shown there.
