How it works

Three steps. Rough idea to paste-ready prompt.

  1. 01

    Brief

    Type an industry, audience, or paste a rough idea. We parse it into structured fields.

  2. 02

    Refine

    Idea Forge generates costed options. Compare, refine, and pick the one worth building.

  3. 03

    Build prompt

    Get a Claude Code prompt with the right scaffold — paste and start shipping.

The problem

Ideas pile up. Briefs don't ship themselves.

Triage is exhausting

Ten ideas, no ranking

Triage is exhausting

You've got ten ideas in a notes app. None ranked. None ready to act on. By the time you remember which one mattered, the energy is gone.

A note isn't a brief

Scope · audience · cost

A note isn't a brief

Half-formed concepts can't be built. You need scope, audience, constraints, and a cost ceiling — and an honest take on what to cut to ship.

Prompting is the last 20%

Hours of boilerplate

Prompting is the last 20%

Going from brief to a Claude Code prompt takes another hour. Most of it is boilerplate. The shape of a useful prompt is mechanical — we automate it.

What's inside

Six tools. One workflow.

Guided briefs

Generator
01

Type an industry and audience. Get five to nine costed ideas with build estimates.

Super-powered research

Agent
02

An agent picks the industry itself, runs live web research, and returns one high-conviction idea.

Side-by-side compare

Tool
03

Put two ideas head to head. See cost, timeline, and the real tradeoffs.

Refine with suggestions

Co-pilot
04

Idea Forge asks sharpening questions and rewrites the brief in your voice.

Scaffold-aware prompts

Output
05

The output prompt differs for a browser game vs a SaaS app. Right boilerplate ships with it.

Local-first cost control

Routing
06

Cheap local models handle drafts. Frontier models only do the final polish.

Stance

Sharp, not slick.

Idea Forge has a stance. We cut the AI fluff and the hedging. You get a brief you can act on today, not a wall of qualifiers. If a sentence sounds like marketing copy, we rewrite it shorter.
