Idea Miner
For founders, indie hackers and students choosing what to build, especially in Indian and other non-US markets. They give it a market, such as “Indian B2B SMEs” or “US dental clinics”, plus a line about their background. They get back up to four ranked ideas, each with sourced proof that the problem is real, plus a weekend experiment to test demand before writing code. They can also pass a chosen idea to a competitor analysis or a mock investor panel, if those optional skills are installed.

- Requires Claude with web search and skills/plugins enabled (Claude Code, or the Claude app). Claude usage is billed by Anthropic under the user’s own plan or API account. A full run launches about 8 research agents, so it uses more of that plan than a normal chat. Quick mode uses fewer. The scoring script needs Python 3, which comes with standard Claude environments. Paid idea databases are not needed. No hosting, hardware or other paid services are required. The companion skills (startup-competitors, shark) are optional.
Repository description
A Claude plugin that finds startup problems people already complain about, and checks them before suggesting ideas. Parallel research agents search YC Requests for Startups, Razorpay Fix My Itch, Reddit, X, IndieHackers, LinkedIn and G2/Capterra reviews. It keeps a problem only if it appears in at least two different kinds of source, and re-checks a sample of the quotes. It also looks up startups that failed on similar ideas. Each surviving idea is scored out of 40 on 8 dimensions. You get a report with linked evidence, a failure autopsy, the case against each idea and a 72-hour validation test.
