What it does

Idea Generator is an agent skill from holaboss-ai/holaOS. Brainstorm creative content ideas tailored to your niche, audience, and goals.

Its SKILL.md is about 600 tokens, which your agent loads only when the skill is triggered. It is a single SKILL.md file with no bundled scripts.

It sits in Agent Workflows, covering Brainstorming. The repository describes itself as: Open-source agentic workspace enterprises can make their own. Connect the systems you already run — 100+ integrations, MCP, chat tools, apps, browser, local files — with shared…

When your agent uses it

Example prompts

  • “/idea-generator”

Workflow steps

6 steps, taken from the first numbered list in SKILL.md.

  1. Confirm the niche, audience, goal, and any voice or constraints.
  2. Pull on multiple sources of inspiration: audience pain points and questions, current trends, competitor gaps, evergreen pillars, and…
  3. Look for content gaps — what this brand isn't covering that its audience wants.
  4. For each idea, attach an angle, a hook, and a recommended platform/format.
  5. Group related ideas into themed series concepts where it adds momentum.
  6. Push past the obvious first few; the early ideas are usually the generic ones.

What it can do on your machine

Read from SKILL.md and the folder at commit 4684714. It shows what the files ask for, not the result of running them.

  • Tool permissions

    Pre-approves nothing: there is no allowed-tools line, so your agent's usual permission prompts apply.

    From allowed-tools in the SKILL.md frontmatter.

  • Runs code

    No scripts in the folder and no shell commands in SKILL.md.

    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 597 tokens when it runs. Until then it costs about 23 tokens; SKILL.md has 365 words of instructions outside code blocks.

Always · name and description, kept in context so the agent knows when to use it
~23
When it runs · the whole SKILL.md, loaded when a task matches
~597

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 365 words (~597 tokens).

“Brainstorm like a creative lead who never ships a blank list: every idea comes with an angle, a hook, and a home. The goal is fresh, relevant, usable concepts the team can turn into real content — not generic prompts…”
