Idea Exploration Skill
Launch autonomous Claude Code sessions to explore business ideas in depth. Get market research, technical analysis, GTM strategy, and actionable recommendations.
Quick Start
Trigger phrase: Say Idea: [description] and the assistant will:
- Spin up a Claude Code session in tmux
- Research and analyze the idea comprehensively
- Save results to
~/clawd/ideas/<slug>/research.md - Send file to your Telegram Saved Messages
- Notify you via cron when complete
How It Works

Prerequisites
claudeCLI (Claude Code)tmuxtelegramCLI (supertelegram)- Clawdbot with cron enabled
1. Create Scripts
See ~/clawd/scripts/explore-idea.sh for the full implementation.
Key components:
- Creates idea directory with prompt and runner script
- Unsets OAuth env vars to use Claude Max
- Runs claude with
--dangerously-skip-permissions - Calls notify script on completion
2. Set Up Cron Job
# Cron job to check notification queue every minute
{
name: "Check notification queue",
sessionTarget: "isolated",
wakeMode: "now",
payload: {
kind: "agentTurn",
message: "Check ~/.clawdbot/notify-queue/ for .json files...",
deliver: true,
channel: "telegram",
to: "YOUR_CHAT_ID"
},
schedule: { kind: "every", everyMs: 60000 }
}3. Add AGENTS.md Instructions
**When user says "Idea: [description]":**
1. Extract the idea description
2. Execute: `CLAWD_SESSION_KEY="main" ~/clawd/scripts/explore-idea.sh "[idea]"`
3. Confirm: "Idea exploration started. You'll be notified when complete."Analysis Framework
The exploration covers:
- Core Concept Analysis - Problem, assumptions, uniqueness
- Market Research - Users, TAM/SAM/SOM, competitors
- Technical Implementation - Stack, MVP scope, challenges
- Business Model - Revenue, pricing, unit economics
- Go-to-Market Strategy - Launch, acquisition, partnerships
- Risks & Challenges - Technical, competitive, regulatory
- Verdict & Recommendations - Clear yes/no with action plan
Verdict Types
- 🟢 STRONG YES - Clear opportunity, pursue aggressively
- 🟡 CONDITIONAL YES - Promising but needs validation
- 🟠 PIVOT RECOMMENDED - Core insight good, execution needs work
- 🔴 PASS - Too many red flags
