# Ideation Agent

A Socratic thinking partner that sharpens your raw idea

[All agents](https://productos.dev/agents)

## What does the Ideation Agent do?

> “You are a QUESTIONER who draws the concept out of the user.”From the agent's actual system prompt

The Ideation Agent turns a raw idea into a sharp, testable product concept, and it does that by asking rather than writing. It is explicitly not a writer who invents concepts for you: it draws the concept out of you, surfaces the assumptions you are making, and logs the open questions that research needs to answer.

The result is a concept brief that states the problem, the target user, and what must be true for the product to work, before any money or build time is spent.

## What tools does the Ideation Agent use?

- `log_open_question`
Records an unresolved question for later stages to answer
- `log_assumption`
Records an assumption the concept depends on
- `ask_agent`
Consults a peer agent, typically Research, for a quick fact-check
- `web_search`
Checks a claim against the live web while you talk
- `write_markdown_output`
Maintains the rolling concept brief

Reads
- Your raw idea
- Any prior concept brief
- The project wiki

Produces
- A concept brief: problem, target user, assumptions
- An open-questions log for the Research Agent
