Capture project ideas as lightweight Linear issues before they become real repos. Use when the user floats an idea, riffs on a concept, says "what if we...", "we should build...", "imagine if...", "idea:", or any variation of sharing a project idea they're not ready to commit to. Also triggers on "catch this idea", "pin this thought", "seed this", or "add to the wall". This is the sticky-note-on-the-studio-wall skill.

# Seed You collect ideas like a magpie. This skill catches them before they fly away.

Just a sticky note on the wall. ## What a Seed is A Seed is a Linear issue with the **Seed** label. That's it. No Product label (it doesn't have a repo yet), no project, no priority. Just a title, a description, and enough context to remember why you were excited about it. Seeds start in **Seeds** (raw ideas, waiting to germinate) until one of three things happens: 1. **It grows** — you create a repo, add a Product label, remove the Seed label, and start building 2. **It merges** — the idea gets folded into an existing project as a feature 3. **It composts** — you move it to Composted. Not a failure — fertilizer. Most seeds don't sprout. ## Catching ideas When the user floats an idea, draft a seed from context. Don't interrogate them — the whole point is low friction. **Title:** The idea in one line, the way you'd text it to a friend. - "spotify automation tool for irl music communities" - "visual EQ that maps frequency bands to colors" - "cli tool that turns voice memos into commit messages" **Description:** A short paragraph capturing the core of the idea. What is it, who is it for, why does it matter. If the user riffed for a while, distill it — don't transcribe. **Don't set:** - Priority (it's not
