/business-brainstorm — Pressure-test a business idea

/business-brainstorm — 商业想法压力测试

Takes a vague idea, runs it through the user's filter, and outputs a structured viability brief. Composes with
deep-research
(for market) and
/domain
(for naming).
接收模糊的想法,通过用户的评估标准进行分析,输出结构化的可行性简报。可与
deep-research
(用于市场调研)和
/domain
(用于命名)配合使用。

Step 1 — Capture the idea

步骤1 — 收集想法

Get from the user:
  • The idea in 1–2 sentences (the what)
  • The reason it's on their mind (the why now)
  • Any starting context (a chat where this came up, a tweet that inspired it, a problem they've hit)
If they point at a past chat / doc, load it first. Memory has
project_*.md
files for in-flight projects — check there before assuming the idea is brand-new.
If the idea is too vague to score, ask 1–2 clarifying questions and stop. Don't pad the brief with assumptions.
向用户获取:
  • 用1-2句话描述想法(即「是什么」)
  • 这个想法产生的缘由(即「为什么是现在」)
  • 任何初始背景信息(比如产生这个想法的聊天记录、启发你的推文、你遇到的某个问题)
如果用户指向过往的聊天/文档,先加载该内容。记忆库中包含针对进行中项目的
project_*.md
文件——在假设想法是全新的之前,先检查这些文件。
如果想法过于模糊无法评分,提出1-2个澄清问题后停止。不要用假设内容填充简报。

Step 2 — Load the framework + personal overlay

步骤2 — 加载框架+个性化覆盖内容

Read
references/framework.md
— the user's filter. Apply each dimension in order.
Also try to load
${MAKERSKILLS_CONFIG:-$HOME/.config/makerskills}/business-brainstorm/portfolio.local.md
if it exists — this is where the user lists their real in-flight businesses, properties, audiences, and partners. When present, use it for the "portfolio fit," "distribution," and "opportunity cost" dimensions instead of asking the user to name each one.
读取
references/framework.md
——这是用户的评估标准。按顺序应用每个维度。
同时尝试加载
${MAKERSKILLS_CONFIG:-$HOME/.config/makerskills}/business-brainstorm/portfolio.local.md
(如果存在)——用户会在此文件中列出其实际运营中的业务、资产、受众和合作伙伴。若文件存在,在评估「业务组合适配」、「获客渠道」和「机会成本」维度时,使用该文件中的信息,而非让用户逐一说明。

Step 3 — Score each dimension

步骤3 — 为每个维度评分

For each of the 9 dimensions in
framework.md
, give a 1-line take + a verdict (✅ strong / 🟡 OK / ❌ weak / ❓ unknown — needs research).
Don't BS the unknowns. Mark them ❓ and route to deep-research in Step 4.
针对
framework.md
中的9个维度,给出1句话的评估结论+判定结果(✅ 优秀 / 🟡 合格 / ❌ 薄弱 / ❓ 未知 — 需要调研)。
不要对未知内容敷衍。标记为❓并在步骤4中转向深度调研。

Step 4 — Trigger research where needed (optional)

步骤4 — 按需触发调研(可选)

If 2+ dimensions are ❓ unknown, offer the user: "Want me to run
/deep-research
on [topic] before scoring?"
Useful research targets:
  • Market size / who pays signal →
    /last30days <space>
    +
    WebSearch
  • Competitive landscape → search for "alternatives to X", "X vs Y" pages
  • ICP signal → forums / Reddit / X where the audience hangs out
  • Pricing benchmarks → look at competitor pricing pages
If the user says yes, run
Skill({skill: "deep-research", args: "<topic>"})
and incorporate the brief.
如果有2个及以上维度标记为❓未知,向用户提议:「是否需要我针对[主题]运行
/deep-research
后再评分?」
有用的调研方向:
  • 市场规模/付费信号 →
    /last30days <space>
    +
    WebSearch
  • 竞争格局 → 搜索「alternatives to X」、「X vs Y」相关页面
  • 核心受众信号 → 受众聚集的论坛/Reddit/X平台
  • 定价基准 → 查看竞品的定价页面
如果用户同意,运行
Skill({skill: "deep-research", args: "<topic>"})
并将调研简报纳入分析。

Step 5 — Check the .com

步骤5 — 检查.com域名

Always run
/domain
on the working name(s). A perfect idea with a $50k domain is a worse idea than a B+ idea with a free .com.
If naming is wide open, brainstorm 5–10 candidate names through
/domain
and report which are available.
始终针对备选名称运行
/domain
工具。一个完美的想法但域名要花费5万美元,不如一个B级想法但拥有免费的.com域名。
如果命名空间较大,通过
/domain
工具头脑风暴5-10个候选名称,并报告哪些可用。

Step 6 — Output the brief

步骤6 — 输出简报

Use this template:
markdown
undefined
使用以下模板:
markdown
undefined

Business brainstorm: <name or idea slug>

商业头脑风暴:<名称或想法缩写>

Date: <YYYY-MM-DD> Idea: <1–2 sentences> Why now: <1 sentence>
日期: <YYYY-MM-DD> 想法: <1-2句话> 为什么是现在: <1句话>

Verdict

判定结果

Build / Sleep on it / Pass / Steal an angle for [existing property]
<2–3 sentence rationale>
打造 / 搁置 / 放弃 / 为[现有业务]借鉴某个切入点
<2-3句话的理由>

Step 7 — Archive

步骤7 — 归档

Archives live in
${MAKERSKILLS_CONFIG:-$HOME/.config/makerskills}/business-brainstorm/archive/
(create the directory if missing). Never write archives inside the skill's own folder — skill installs and upgrades re-sync from source and wipe anything saved there. Migration: if this skill's folder contains an old
references/ideas-archive/
with user entries, move those files into the archive directory first.
Write to
<archive dir>/<YYYY-MM-DD>-<slug>.md
. Append to
<archive dir>/INDEX.md
(create if missing):
markdown
- 2026-06-16 — [<idea>](./<filename>.md)**<verdict>**<one-line rationale>
归档文件存储在
${MAKERSKILLS_CONFIG:-$HOME/.config/makerskills}/business-brainstorm/archive/
目录(若目录不存在则创建)。绝不要将归档文件写入技能自身的文件夹——技能安装和升级会从源端同步并清除该文件夹中的所有保存内容。迁移说明: 如果该技能文件夹中包含旧的
references/ideas-archive/
目录及用户条目,请先将这些文件移动到归档目录中。
写入文件至
<归档目录>/<YYYY-MM-DD>-<slug>.md
。并将内容追加至
<归档目录>/INDEX.md
(若不存在则创建):
markdown
- 2026-06-16 — [<想法>](./<文件名>.md)**<判定结果>**<一句话理由>

Step 8 — Surface

步骤8 — 展示结果

Show the brief in chat. Tell the user the archive path. Offer:
  • "Want to push to Notion as a positioning canvas?"
  • "Want me to scaffold a project repo / landing page?" (if verdict = Build)
  • "Want me to revisit in 30 days?" (if verdict = Sleep on it)
在聊天中展示简报。告知用户归档路径。提供以下选项:
  • 「是否需要将其推送至Notion作为定位画布?」
  • 「是否需要我搭建项目仓库/着陆页?」(若判定结果为「打造」)
  • 「是否需要我在30天后重新评估?」(若判定结果为「搁置」)

Composes with

可配合使用的工具

  • deep-research

    ) — 用于业务组合背景检查(不要提出已存在的想法)

Notes on quality

质量注意事项

  • Nine dimensions, not one hero metric. Ideas fail because one dimension quietly rots even when the rest score high. Force each dimension to be scored — no "we'll figure that out later" cop-outs.
  • Verdict discipline: Ship / Sleep on it / Kill. Not "maybe." Ambiguity in the verdict compounds into ambiguity in the commit; the brief exists to prevent that.
  • Portfolio-context check is non-negotiable. Before writing, grep memory + wiki for existing property overlap. If the new idea is 80% one of your existing properties, propose extending the existing property instead of forking a new one — 4x cheaper to compound.
  • Archive every brief, even Kills. Killed ideas resurface — the brief with rationale prevents re-litigating. The archive dir + INDEX.md makes revisit trivial.
  • "Angle to steal" section forces value from Kills. Even ideas you won't build often have an angle that improves an existing property. Don't skip this section — it's the highest-leverage output of a Kill verdict.
  • 30-day revisit for "Sleep on it." Set the calendar reminder. Sleep-on-it ideas that never get revisited become dead weight in the archive; ideas that get revisited resurface with better context.
  • 九个维度,而非单一关键指标。 即使其他维度得分很高,某个维度的隐性缺陷也会导致想法失败。必须对每个维度进行评分——不允许出现「之后再解决」的敷衍。
  • 判定结果需明确:打造/搁置/放弃。 不能是「也许」。判定结果的模糊性会导致执行中的不确定性,而简报的存在就是为了避免这种情况。
  • 业务组合背景检查必不可少。 在撰写简报前,搜索记忆库+知识库,查看是否与现有业务存在重叠。如果新想法与某个现有业务的重合度达80%,建议扩展现有业务而非创建新业务——这样的成本仅为新业务的1/4,复利效应更强。
  • 归档所有简报,包括「放弃」的想法。 被放弃的想法可能会重新出现——带有理由的简报可避免重复评估。归档目录+INDEX.md让重新评估变得简单。
  • 「借鉴切入点」部分可从「放弃」的想法中挖掘价值。 即使你不会打造某个想法,它通常也包含可改进现有业务的切入点。不要跳过这一部分——这是「放弃」判定结果中价值最高的输出。
  • 对「搁置」的想法进行30天后重新评估。 设置日历提醒。未被重新评估的搁置想法会成为归档中的无效内容;重新评估的想法会在更完善的背景下重新浮现。
