Best use case
mashup is best used when you need a repeatable AI agent workflow instead of a one-off prompt.
Force-fit patterns from other domains to spark novel concepts.
Teams using mashup 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:mashup` Use when you want fresh UX/GT ideas by blending unrelated domains. ## Inputs - Topic/problem - Domains to borrow from (flags or let it randomize) - Any constraints to respect ## Steps 1. Pick 2–3 orthogonal domains (fintech, gaming, health, etc.). 2. Lift 1–2 patterns per domain (loyalty loops, streaks, rituals, marketplace dynamics). 3. Create 3 mashup concepts with user journey sketch, differentiator, risk, first experiment. 4. Label one bold bet and one safe bet. 5. Hand off to `/ctx:plan` or add Tasks for the experiments. ## Output Template ``` ### Domains & Patterns ### Mashup Concepts (3) - Concept … (journey, differentiator, risk, first experiment) ### Bold Bet / Safe Bet ### Next Experiments ``` ## Pairings - Combine with `/collaboration:assumption-buster` to widen the idea pool. - Use `/collaboration:concept-forge` to score the mashups.
