Best use case
concept-forge is best used when you need a repeatable AI agent workflow instead of a one-off prompt.
Score concepts on impact/delight/effort and pick a 1-day spike.
Teams using concept-forge should expect a more consistent output, faster repeated execution, less prompt rewriting.
When to use this skill
- You want a reusable workflow that can be run more than once with consistent structure.
When not to use this skill
- You only need a quick one-off answer and do not need a reusable workflow.
- You cannot install or maintain the underlying files, dependencies, or repository context.

# `/collaboration:concept-forge` Use after you have a handful of ideas and need to pick what to test first. ## Inputs - Problem statement - Scoring axis (impact|delight|effort) - Constraints to honor ## Steps 1. Capture problem, success signals, constraints.\n2. Generate 4–6 concept cards with Impact (1–5), Delight (1–5), Effort (S/M/L), Risks, 1-day Spike.\n3. Rank by chosen axis (tie-breaker: lowest effort).\n4. Recommend top card + spike and list verification steps.\n5. Seed Tasks or hand off to `/ctx:plan` for execution. ## Output Template ``` ### Problem ### Success Signals ### Constraints ### Concept Cards (ranked) - Concept … (impact, delight, effort, risks, 1-day spike) ### Recommended Spike ### Verification Checklist ``` ## Pairings - Precede with `/collaboration:idea-lab` or `/collaboration:mashup` to generate options. - Follow with `/collaboration:pre-mortem` to de-risk the chosen concept.
