ideation-planning-plugin

August 12, 2026 · View on GitHub

Claude Code plugin for ideation and planning workflows — capture, evaluate, rank, simulate, and plan ideas. Consolidates brainstorming and idea-evaluation primitives from across the marketplace into a single plugin with six workspace variants.

Part of the danielrosehill Claude Code marketplace.

Decision analysis moved out (v1.1.0). The decision-analyze command and decision-framework workspace variant have been migrated to the standalone decision-evaluation-framework plugin, which expands the original seven frameworks to twenty, adds parallel multi-lens orchestration, Typst PDF rendering, and Google Drive export. This plugin's scope returns to ideation, evaluation, ranking, and simulation.

What you get

Primitives (always available once the plugin is installed)

Capture & ingest (/ideation-planning:idea-*):

  • idea-capture — capture a new idea from text, URL, or voice-note audio
  • idea-ingest — process raw inputs in raw-inputs/ into a structured idea document
  • idea-refine — iteratively expand and clarify an existing idea document
  • idea-consolidate — merge related ideas into a consolidated proposal

Ideation runs (/ideation-planning:ideation-*):

  • ideation-configure — set topic, constraints, depth, diversity mode
  • ideation-run — generate a diverse batch of ideas against the active topic, fanning out across parallel idea-generator agents on separate lenses when the batch is large enough to warrant it
  • ideation-synthesize — aggregate across runs, surface themes, pick top candidates

Evaluation & ranking (/ideation-planning:eval-*, /ideation-planning:rank-*):

  • eval-single-idea — ICEC-style scorecard evaluation of one idea
  • eval-council — six-persona council deliberation on an idea or business
  • eval-batch — evaluate a queue of ideas in one pass
  • rank-ideas — comparative ranking across evaluated ideas
  • rank-candidates — shortlist a set of candidates (GitHub repos, products, vendors) against a spec
  • rank-redteam — red-team/buyer-perspective evaluation of a target (site, product, vendor)

Feature ideas (/ideation-planning:feature-*):

  • feature-new-idea — capture a structured feature idea/request
  • feature-prioritize — score and prioritize the feature-ideas queue
  • feature-export-roadmap — export an approved roadmap

Simulations (/ideation-planning:sim-*):

  • sim-configure-speakers / sim-configure-parties — define conference speakers or negotiation parties
  • sim-run-conference — simulate a multi-speaker conference / symposium
  • sim-run-negotiation — simulate a multi-party negotiation
  • sim-map-debate — map positions, camps, and fault lines in a debate

Planning & deliverables (/ideation-planning:plan-*, /ideation-planning:deliverable-*):

  • plan-project — convert a refined idea into a project plan
  • deliverable-audience — render a stakeholder-targeted PDF (pandoc → Typst) from whichever of consolidated/, synthesis/, runs/, plan/plan.md, or docs/idea.md the workspace has

Agents:

  • idea-generator — lens-scoped idea generator, designed to be fanned out in parallel
  • idea-evaluator — autonomous single-idea ICEC evaluator
  • council-evaluator — six-persona council deliberation orchestrator
  • ranking-evaluator — batch ranking / shortlist orchestrator
  • buyer-evaluator — red-team buyer persona for websites and products

Provisioning skill

  • /ideation-planning:new-workspace <name> [--variant=<v>] [--private] [--local-only]

Scaffolds a new workspace for one of the six variants:

  • ideation-session — brainstorming + synthesis runs
  • single-idea-eval — deep ICEC/council evaluation of one idea at a time
  • multi-idea-ranking — shortlist/ranking across many candidates (GH repos, products, vendors)
  • feature-ideas — feature idea intake + prioritization
  • simulation — conference, negotiation, or debate simulation
  • idea-capture — low-friction capture + consolidation workspace

For decision analysis, install the decision-evaluation-framework plugin separately.

Personalises CLAUDE.md from ~/.claude/CLAUDE.md and creates a GitHub repo — public by default, private with --private, skipped entirely with --local-only.

Install

/plugin install ideation-planning@danielrosehill

Usage

/ideation-planning:new-workspace my-ideation --variant=ideation-session
/ideation-planning:ideation-configure
/ideation-planning:ideation-run
/ideation-planning:ideation-synthesize

A full subject-scoped session, private, ending in something readable away from the terminal — here, non-fiction books that could be written about a given subject:

/ideation-planning:new-workspace books-on-<subject> --variant=ideation-session --private
/ideation-planning:ideation-configure     # topic, purpose, constraints, depth, diversity
/ideation-planning:ideation-run           # repeat; each run reads the last and avoids it
/ideation-planning:ideation-synthesize    # themes, top picks, gaps
/ideation-planning:deliverable-audience   # → deliverables/<slug>-<audience>-YYYY-MM-DD.pdf

ideation-configure is where the shape of the output is decided — the purpose field distinguishes covering a space from attacking a problem, and the output format field is what makes each idea come back with the fields you actually want (for books: working title, thesis, why now, who reads it).

/ideation-planning:new-workspace evaluate-saas-idea --variant=single-idea-eval
/ideation-planning:eval-single-idea
/ideation-planning:eval-council
