File contents

IDEA Storer (IS) Integration

A CLI tool for capturing development ideas that AI agents can understand.

Discovery

Check for ideas in this order:

Project-specific: .ideas.json in current directory or git root
Global fallback: ~/.config/ideastorer/ideas.json

Reading Ideas

When user says "check IS", "my ideas", or "what should I work on":

Read the .ideas.json file using the Read tool
Parse the JSON and extract active ideas
Present relevant ideas based on current context
Suggest which ideas relate to current work

JSON Schema

{
  "version": "1.0.0",
  "ideas": [
    {
      "id": "abc12345",
      "content": "The idea text",
      "tags": ["tag1", "tag2"],
      "priority": "low|medium|high",
      "status": "active|done|archived",
      "created_at": "ISO8601",
      "context": {
        "project": "project-name",
        "git_branch": "branch-name"
      }
    }
  ]
}

CLI Commands

is "quick idea"              # Add idea instantly
is add "idea" -t tag         # Add with tags
is list                      # Show recent ideas
is list -t tag               # Filter by tag
is search "query"            # Search ideas
is done <id>                 # Mark completed
is delete <id>               # Remove idea
is export                    # Export as JSON
is export --format md        # Export as Markdown

Workflow Integration

Before Starting Work

"Check IS for ideas related to [current task]"
→ Read .ideas.json
→ Filter by relevant tags
→ Present actionable items

During Implementation

Reference idea IDs in commit messages
Cross-check implementation against stored ideas
Suggest related ideas that could be addressed

After Completion

"Mark idea <id> as done"
→ Run: is done <id>
→ Confirm completion

Example Interactions

User: "What should I work on?" Action: Read .ideas.json, present high-priority active ideas

User: "Check IS for auth ideas" Action: Search ideas with "auth" or tag "authentication"

User: "Add to IS: implement caching" Action: Run is add "implement caching" -t performance
