What it does
Hai Idea is an agent skill from hylarucoder/hai-stack. Evaluates whether an idea, feature, product, or project deserves attention and returns one verdict—Do, Validate first, Reframe, Defer, or Kill—plus the strongest objection and cheapest decision-changing test. Use when the user asks whether something is worth doing, is a fake need or distraction, should be built/killed/postponed, or which idea to prioritize（值不值得做、是不是伪需求、要不要砍）. Use hai-goal after the decision to proceed is made.
Its SKILL.md is about 1.3k tokens, which your agent loads only when the skill is triggered. The skill folder holds 5 other files, including reference files (for example `SKILL.zh_CN.md`, `agents/openai.yaml` and `references/output-template.md`).
When your agent uses it
- The user asks whether something is worth doing
- Should be built/killed/postponed
- Which idea to prioritize（值不值得做、是不是伪需求、要不要砍）
Example prompts
- “Use the hai-idea skill to evaluate whether an idea, feature, product, or project deserves attention and returns one verdict—Do, Validate first…”
- “/hai-idea”
Workflow steps
7 steps, taken from the first numbered list in SKILL.md.
- Restate the idea in one sentence. Remove decoration and excitement, name the target user or affected system, and state the expected outcome.
- Identify the decision. Is the current decision to do, validate, prioritize, reframe, or kill? If comparing ideas, rank by decision value…
- Evaluate the decisive dimensions from the Evaluation Frame above. Penalize vague users, fake urgency, high maintenance cost, missing…
- Make the call. Pick exactly one verdict from the Verdict Guide below, explain the reason directly, and state your confidence (high /…
- State the strongest objection. Name the single best reason not to do this now, even if your verdict is Do — a call you cannot argue…
- Offer a stronger version. If the current idea is weak or only partly right, give the strongest nearby reframe. Skip only when the idea is…
- Define the smallest useful validation. What is the cheapest test that could change the decision? What signal would prove demand…
What it can do on your machine
Read from SKILL.md and the folder at commit a6c7ed2. 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
Hai Idea loads about 1.3k tokens when it runs, and up to ~1.7k if it reads all its reference files. Until then it costs about 110 tokens; SKILL.md has 698 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 698 words (~1,268 tokens).
“For Chinese readers, see SKILL.zh_CN.md. The English SKILL.md is the execution source of truth.”

With the skills CLI, run `npx skills add hylarucoder/hai-stack --skill hai-idea -a cursor` (or -a gemini-cli, github-copilot or opencode for the others). To copy it by hand, put the folder in .cursor/skills/hai-idea, .gemini/skills/hai-idea, .github/skills/hai-idea and .opencode/skills/hai-idea in your project.
What does Hai Idea need to run?
SKILL.md names no scripts, command-line tools or credentials: Hai Idea is instructions for the agent only.
Does Hai Idea access the network?
SKILL.md contains no URLs. Any network use would come from the scripts or tools the agent runs. This is read from the text; nothing was executed.
Is Hai Idea safe to install?
Our automated static check of SKILL.md found no risky patterns, such as piping downloads into a shell, reading credential files or hidden Unicode. It is not a guarantee. Review the folder before installing.
What licence does Hai Idea use?

How many tokens does Hai Idea use?
About 1.3k tokens (SKILL.md is roughly 5.1k characters). Agents keep only the skill's name and description in context until a task matches; then they load SKILL.md in full. Its references folder adds about 480 tokens, read only when the agent opens those files.
