Github Reop
If you are anything like me, you have a flood of dumb but interesting ideas every day. The hard part isn't having the idea, it's documenting, structuring, and evaluating it before it gets lost in the ether.
Manually setting up a structured document for every daily idea is a repetitive, time-consuming chore that frankly, makes the whole process feel like work.
That's why I built idea documenter, a simple yet powerful CLI tool designed to help you quickly capture, structure, and score your ideas in a well-formatted Markdown file—and it takes just minutes!

The Problem Idea Documenter Solves
The core issue this tool tackles is the overhead of documentation.
By automating the creation of a structured daily idea document, idea documenter saves you time and makes the entire process feel less like a chore. It streamlines your idea-capturing process, letting you focus on the creativity rather than the template.
Key Features That Make Idea Capture a Breeze
Here’s what makes idea documenter a must-have for any prolific thinker:
Interactive Command-Line Interface: It guides you through the entire documentation process with a clear series of questions, making it intuitive and fast.
Structured Markdown Output: No more messy notes! Your ideas are automatically generated into a clean, well-formatted Markdown file.
Built-in Feasibility & Impact Scoring: Get instant feedback! The tool includes a simple scoring system to help you evaluate how feasible and impactful your idea is right away.
Automated, Clean File Naming: Every idea gets its own file named by the date, using the format: YYYY_MM_DD.md.
Safe Interruption: Accidentally hit Ctrl+C? No problem. The tool cleans up and removes the incomplete file, so you don't end up with clutter.
🚀 How to Use It (Your New Idea Workflow)
Using idea_doc_creator is straightforward. Once installed, just run the command and let the tool do the rest.
Run the tool:

- Follow the steps: The CLI will guide you through four main phases: Idea Prompt: Get started with a list of prompts. Raw Idea: Just dump your initial, unfiltered thoughts here. Idea Breakdown: Flesh out the core concepts and details. Feasibility & Impact Scoring: Assign scores to evaluate your idea's potential.
After you complete these steps, your new idea is saved as a Markdown file in your current directory, ready for review!
