/idea-wizard — add features to existing Forge
SkillDev tools30 → 5 → 15 funnel for brainstorming new features on the existing Forge codebase. Use when adding capability to a mature install, not for greenfield.
Available today. Use it from your connected AI after setup.
No other account needed.
Connect ahel once, and every AI you use reads what you have installed.
Then ask your AI: use the /idea-wizard — add features to existing Forge skill
What this skill tells your AI
The instructions your AI receives, as published by hoangsonww/forge-agentic-coding-cli in .claude/skills/idea-wizard/SKILL.md and read by ahel’s review.
Winnowing forces critical evaluation. Asking for "5 ideas" directly produces weak lists; asking for 30 then winnowing produces strong ones.
Phases
- Ground in reality. Read AGENTS.md + CLAUDE.md. Skim the open
bead graph:
jq -c 'select(.status!="closed")' .beads/beads.jsonl. - Generate 30, winnow to 5. Use the Phase 2 prompt in
.flywheel/prompts/idea-wizard.md. - Expand to 15. "OK and your next best 10 and why." Each one must be verified novel against the current bead graph.
- Human review. You pick from the 15 which to pursue.
- Create beads in
.beads/beads.jsonlwith full descriptions. - Polish 4–5 times with
/polish-beads.
When NOT to use this
- For bounded, small changes — use the TODO-list approach inline instead, without formal beads.
- For greenfield projects — use
/planfrom the start. - For porting ideas from an external project — use the
research-and-reimagine approach (see
FLYWHEEL.md§5); save the proposal to.flywheel/proposals/.
Verification before bead creation
For every idea that survives winnowing, verify:
- It respects Forge's security and permission invariants.
- It fits under one of the existing subsystem labels.
- It doesn't duplicate something closed (check closed beads too).
