What it does
Harvest Ideas is an agent skill from real-simple-labs/parker-brain. Weekly agentic idea hunt for the brand. Assembles a hunt brief (roadmap, personas, live account read, tried-and-failed, user signals), runs a cold brainstorm before any feed opens, then fans out hunter lenses — customer language, organic/format with a trend lane, old-ads corpus, far-transfer wildcard — and captures each find verbatim with its spark into idea-bank/entries with full provenance and a viewable reference link. This is the capture half of Phase 3; grading is the separate evaluate-ideas skill. Use…
Its SKILL.md is about 2.8k 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.

What it can do on your machine
Read from SKILL.md and the folder at commit 2a6f6c6. 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
Harvest Ideas loads about 2.8k tokens when it runs. Until then it costs about 155 tokens; SKILL.md has 1,572 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 1,572 words (~2,849 tokens).
“The idea bank is Parker's living idea memory for the brand, so concepting never starts from a blank page. This routine is the harvester: it hunts inspo with every tool available, casts wide, and logs the best verbatim, with the…”
