Idea

Capture ideas with full context so they're actionable later.

Usage

/idea <description of the idea>

Procedure

1. Gather context inline (fast, no subagent):

   • Repo name: git rev-parse --show-toplevel | xargs basename
   • Branch: git branch --show-current
   • Recent files: git diff --name-only HEAD~3..HEAD 2>/dev/null

2. Spawn context-keeper agent (haiku model) with this prompt:

Save an idea to memory. Use `memory_save` with type=`task` and the following content:

## <Idea title, 5-10 words> — <date>

**Context:** <repo> / <branch>
**Related files:** <recently changed files, if relevant>

<1-2 paragraphs expanding the idea: what it solves, rough approach, constraints>

### Open questions
- <Things to figure out before implementing>

---
Idea text: <user's idea>
Repo: <repo>
Branch: <branch>
Recent files: <files>

The agent must:

• First call memory_context to check for duplicate ideas
• Then call memory_save with the formatted content

3. Also write the idea to ~/ctx/insights/_ideas/<slug>.md (slug: lowercase, hyphens, max 60 chars) as a file backup.

4. Report the saved path and a one-line summary to the user.

Rules

• Use context-keeper agent (haiku) for memory operations — never call MCP tools directly
• One idea per invocation — if the user gives multiple, spawn parallel agents
• Dedup — the agent checks memory before saving; if a match exists, it appends instead
