# Idea Refine
Refines raw ideas into sharp, actionable concepts worth building through structured divergent and convergent thinking.
## How It Works
1. **Understand & Expand (Divergent):** Restate the idea, ask sharpening questions, and generate variations.
2. **Evaluate & Converge:** Cluster ideas, stress-test them, and surface hidden assumptions.
3. **Sharpen & Ship:** Produce a concrete markdown one-pager moving work forward.
## Usage
This skill is primarily an interactive dialogue. Invoke it with an idea, and the agent will guide you through the process.
```bash
# Optional: Initialize the ideas directory
bash skills/idea-refine/scripts/idea-refine.sh
```
