Generate 5–10 business idea candidates from a blank page or a founder's domain context — using pain mining, jobs-to-be-done, trend × capability mapping, constraint relaxation, adjacency search, and founder-market-fit prompts. Each candidate is a structured idea card (segment, JTBD, current alternative, why-now, distribution wedge, monetisation, "feels like").

Score an unbuilt business idea on desirability, viability, feasibility, distribution wedge, why-now, founder-market-fit, market size, alternatives, defensibility, capital intensity, and regulatory/ethical risk — and return a GO / ITERATE / KILL verdict with kill criteria and a next kill test. Load when the user asks to evaluate a business idea, score a startup idea, screen an idea, decide whether to pursue this venture, do an idea review, or says "is this a good business idea", "should I build this", "evaluate this startup", "screen this idea", "go/no-go on this idea", "kill or pursue". Sub-skill of `venture-exploration`. Calls `fermi` for sizing, `assumption-mapping` for hidden beliefs, optional `pre-mortem` / `adversarial-hat` for high-stakes ideas.

YC Office Hours — two modes. Startup mode: six forcing questions that expose demand reality, status quo, desperate specificity, narrowest wedge, observation, and future-fit. Builder mode: design thinking brainstorming for side projects, hackathons, learning, and open source. Saves a design doc. Use when asked to "brainstorm this", "I have an idea", "help me think through this", "office hours", or "is this worth building". Proactively invoke this skill (do NOT answer directly) when the user describes a new product idea, asks whether something is worth building, wants to think through design decisions for something that doesn't exist yet, or is exploring a concept before any code is written. Use before /plan-ceo-review or /plan-eng-review. (gstack)
