logging-ideas

name: logging-ideas description: Logs product or project ideas into the repo-local .ideas system, creates a same-name planning folder with applicable planning docs, and syncs the resulting .ideas files plus related idea-logger components across repos listed in SYNC-REPOS.md. Use when the user asks to capture, log, add, or plan a new idea.

Logging Ideas

Use this skill whenever the user asks to log a new idea, add something to the master ideas list, or create/update an idea planning folder.

Purpose

Maintain a consistent .ideas/ workflow across repos:

• capture the idea in .ideas/ideas.md
• create or update the same-name idea folder
• populate applicable planning docs using repo-setup conventions
• mirror .ideas/SYNC-REPOS.md
• sync the resulting files across repos in SYNC-REPOS.md

Workflow

1. Read .ideas/README.md, .ideas/ideas.md, and SYNC-REPOS.md.
2. Derive or confirm the idea title.
3. Add a new titled, dated, numbered section to .ideas/ideas.md.
4. Create a same-name subfolder in .ideas/.
5. Populate the applicable planning docs for that idea using the same document style used in .docs/planning/.
6. Ensure .ideas/SYNC-REPOS.md mirrors the root sync manifest and idea-specific sync rules.
7. If the idea-logger agent/skill/system-docs files changed, sync those too.
8. Mirror the updated .ideas/ files and related idea-logger components to the repos listed in SYNC-REPOS.md.

Rules

• ideas.md is the master list for the repo.
• Folder names must match the exact idea titles used in ideas.md.
• Use substantive planning content, not empty placeholders.
• Only create the planning docs that are applicable to the specific idea.
• Preserve existing idea entries unless the user explicitly requests edits or removals.
• Report which repos received sync updates and note any failures.

Typical Trigger Phrases

• "log this idea"
• "add this to ideas"
• "capture this idea"
• "create an idea folder"
• "plan this idea under .ideas"
