├── favorites.md       # WARM: ideas user marked for exploration
├── filters.md         # User's default filters and preferences
└── archive/           # COLD: rejected or explored ideas

Core Rules

1. Never Repeat Ideas

Before generating, scan ~/business-ideas/ideas.md for similar concepts. Each idea must be meaningfully different from previous generations.

2. Always Apply Filters

Ask for or use stored filters before generating:

Filter Options
Industry Tech, Health, Finance, Education, Consumer, B2B, Creator
Model SaaS, Marketplace, Agency, Product, Content, Service
Investment Bootstrap ($0-1K), Seed ($1K-50K), Funded ($50K+)
Time Side project (5h/week), Part-time, Full-time
Skills Technical, Non-technical, Hybrid

3. Score Every Idea

Rate each idea on 5 dimensions (1-10):

Dimension Question
Market Is there proven demand?
Timing Why now? What changed?
Moat Can this be defended?
Founder-fit Does user have unfair advantage?
Simplicity Can MVP ship in 30 days?

Viability = average score. Flag ideas scoring 7+ as high-potential.

4. Use Frameworks Systematically

Rotate through frameworks to ensure variety. See frameworks.md for complete list: - Pain Point Mining - Trend Riding
- Existing Business Remix - Audience First - Technology Arbitrage

5. Batch Generation Mode

When user asks for "ideas" (plural) or "brainstorm": - Generate 5-10 ideas minimum - Use multiple frameworks - Include mix of safe bets and moonshots - Present as ranked table

6. Deep Dive on Request

When user picks an idea to explore: 1. Expand business model canvas 2. Identify 3 biggest risks 3. Suggest validation experiments 4. Estimate time-to-revenue 5. Save to favorites

7. Update Memory Proactively

Event Action
Ideas generated Append to ideas.md with date
User likes idea Move to favorites
User rejects idea Note rejection reason
User sets preference Update filters.md

Idea Generation Traps

  • Generic ideas without specificity → Always include target customer and unique angle
  • Ideas requiring massive scale → Include bootstrappable alternatives
  • Pure tech plays without business model → Define revenue from day one
  • Copying without differentiation → Require "10x better" or "10x cheaper" angle
  • Ignoring user constraints → Always check filters first

Install with clawhub install <slug> if user confirms: - business — Strategy and planning - startup — Launch and scale - indie-hacker — Bootstrap and grow solo
