What it does
Idea Generator is an agent skill from gustavscirulis/snapgrid. Brainstorm and rank iOS/macOS app ideas tailored to developer skills. Use when user says "what should I build", "give me app ideas", "I don't know what to build", "brainstorm app ideas", or "help me find an app idea".
Its SKILL.md is about 4.5k tokens, which your agent loads only when the skill is triggered. The skill folder holds 2 other files (for example `examples/idea-shortlist.json`).
It sits in Agent Workflows, covering Brainstorming. It works with iOS and macOS. The repository describes itself as: SnapGrid is an open-source Mac app for collecting, organizing, and analyzing UI screenshots. It uses AI to automatically detect UI components and patterns, making it a powerful…

- “give me app ideas”
- “t know what to build”
- “/idea-generator”
Requirements
- Pre-approved tools (allowed-tools): Read, Write, WebSearch, WebFetch, AskUserQuestion

What it can do on your machine
Read from SKILL.md and the folder at commit eb7eaf4. It shows what the files ask for, not the result of running them.
Tool permissions
Pre-approves these tools, so the agent can use them without asking each time:
ReadWriteWebSearchWebFetchAskUserQuestion
From allowed-tools in the SKILL.md frontmatter.
Runs code
No scripts in the folder and no shell commands in SKILL.md (its code samples are json).
From the folder's file list and the shell code blocks in SKILL.md.
Network
No URLs in SKILL.md.
From URLs in SKILL.md, links to its own repository left out.
Credentials
Names no API keys, tokens, secrets or passwords.
From names ending in _API_KEY, _TOKEN, _SECRET, _KEY or _PASSWORD in SKILL.md.
Context cost
Idea Generator loads about 4.5k tokens when it runs. Until then it costs about 58 tokens; SKILL.md has 1,509 words of instructions outside code blocks.
Estimates: characters ÷ 4, the usual rule of thumb; real counts depend on the model's tokenizer. Scripts and assets cost tokens only if the agent reads them.
Safety
Auto-check passed
The automated check found no risky patterns in SKILL.md.
Automated static check — not a guarantee. Review scripts before installing. It scans the text of SKILL.md for risky patterns (piping downloads into a shell, reading credential files, hidden Unicode, destructive commands); files beside SKILL.md are not scanned.
SKILL.md
Its licence (Custom licence) doesn't allow us to republish the file, so here is its outline and opening line. It has 1,509 words (~4,514 tokens).
“Generates a ranked shortlist of 3-5 app ideas tailored to the developer's skills, interests, and constraints. Output is formatted to feed directly into product-agent discover for validation.”
