/validate-idea — Idea Feasibility Check

Check whether a proposed idea can actually be built with what we have.

When to use

• Before presenting ideas to Robert
• "Can we actually build [idea]?"
• "What's blocking [idea_id]?"
• After proposing new ideas to the pipeline

Execution

strategist validate-idea <idea_id>

Checks

• VPS hosting, Docker, cron, agents
• API access (Codex, Gemini, OpenRouter)
• Discord, GitHub integration
• Missing capabilities: payment processing, public API, domain, email, SSL

Output

Capability matrix with YES/NO + blocker list. Blockers tell Robert exactly what needs setup before an idea can launch.

Intent: Competent [I05]. Purpose: Prevent wasted effort on unbuildable ideas.
