Idea Exploration Skill (Clawdbot Native)

Launch autonomous background sessions to explore business ideas in depth. Get market research, technical analysis, GTM strategy, and actionable recommendations—all using built-in Clawdbot features.

Quick Start

Trigger phrase: Say Idea: [description] and the assistant will:

Spawn a background sub-agent session using sessions_spawn
Research and analyze the idea comprehensively
Save results to ~/clawd/ideas/<slug>/research.md
Send the file + summary back to this Telegram chat

How It Works

User: "Idea: AI calendar assistant"
       ↓
┌─────────────────────────────────┐
│  1. Detect "Idea:" trigger      │
│  2. sessions_spawn background   │
│  3. Sub-agent researches        │
│  4. Writes research.md          │
│  5. Returns to main chat        │
│  6. Sends file + summary        │
└─────────────────────────────────┘

Prerequisites

Clawdbot with sessions_spawn enabled
No external CLIs needed (fully native)

AGENTS.md Integration

Add this to your AGENTS.md:

## Idea Exploration

**When user says "Idea: [description]":**

1. Extract the idea description
2. Create a slug from the idea (lowercase, hyphens)
3. Use `sessions_spawn` to launch a background research session:
   - **task**: Use the template from `skills/idea-clawdbot/templates/idea-exploration-prompt.md`
   - **label**: `idea-research-<slug>`
   - **cleanup**: keep (so we can review the session later)
4. Confirm: "🔬 Research started for: [idea]. I'll ping you when done (usually 3-5 minutes)."
5. When the sub-agent completes, send the research file to the chat

**Result handling:**
- Research saved to: `~/clawd/ideas/<slug>/research.md`
- Send file as document via Telegram
- Include brief summary of verdict (🟢/🟡/🟠/🔴)

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

Example Output

~/clawd/ideas/ai-calendar-assistant/
├── metadata.txt
├── research.md    # 400-500 line comprehensive analysis

Tips

Ideas typically take 3-5 minutes to analyze
Check session progress: clawdbot sessions list --kinds spawn
Monitor sub-agent: clawdbot sessions history <session-key>
Results come back to the same chat automatically

Template Variables

When spawning the sub-agent, replace these in the prompt template:

{IDEA_DESCRIPTION}: The actual idea text
{IDEA_SLUG}: URL-friendly version (e.g., "ai-powered-calendar")
