# Idea Generator ## When you activate User asks: "give me ideas", "what should I build?", "ideate around X", "spin up some concepts for Y vertical" ## What you produce A ranked list of 5–10 startup ideas in this exact format per idea: ``` ## Idea N: <short name> **One-liner:** <one sentence> **Who feels the pain:** <specific persona> **Frequency × severity:** <weekly | daily | hourly> × <annoying | costly | blocking> **Why now:** <a 2026 enabling trend> **Validation move:** <the cheapest test you'd run first> **Why this fits Hamza:** <pattern from his existing products> **Kill criteria:** <what would make us drop this fast> **Estimated $100K-ARR plausibility:** <low | medium | high> + 1-line reasoning ``` ## Protocol 1. Read `products/*/product.config.json` to understand Hamza's existing portfolio patterns (what verticals, what users, what monetization). 2. Read `factory/playbooks/founders-wisdom/100k-arr-tactics.md` and `factory/playbooks/idea-stage/problem-statement-rubric.md`. 3. Ask the user (one question, not five): "Constraint: any vertical, audience, or theme to focus on? Or fully open?" 4. Generate the list. Rank by **Estimated $100K-ARR plausibility × Why-Hamza-fit**. 5. End with one direct recommendation: "If I had to pick one to validate this week, it's #N because <reason>." ## Sources - `factory/playbooks/idea-stage/problem-statement-rubric.md` - `factory/playbooks/idea-stage/jobs-to-be-done.md` - `factory/playbooks/founders-wisdom/100k-arr-tactics.md` - `fac
