๐ New for this month's meetup: The I-Framework
Ever have a startup idea and not know what to actually build first? I've been working on a tool for exactly that, and I want you to break it before Saturday.
The I-Framework is a Claude Code plugin that walks you through the first three "I's" of a startup โ Intent โ Ideation โ Innovation โ and spits out a build-ready product spec. The core idea: a startup is a stack of risks, and you retire them cheapest-and-most-fatal first. Each stage kills one risk (Do people have this problem? Is this the right solution? Why do we win?) and writes one artifact to a `Product/` folder. You end up with a ranked set of feature files โ each with a user story, testable acceptance criteria, and an honest "is this our edge, or just table-stakes?" classification. The 4th I, Implementation, is where your build team picks it up.
It's conversational โ it interviews you one question at a time and pushes back on thin answers rather than just flattering the idea.
Try it before Saturday:
- Have Claude Code installed.
- `git clone https://github.com/InSciCo/i-framework`
- Open the folder in Claude Code and type `/iflow` to start (or `/intent` to jump straight in). The skills auto-load โ no setup.
There are four worked sample specs in `_sandbox/samples/` (meal-planning, dev tooling, a marketplace, fintech) if you want to see the output first.
Run it on a real idea of yours, bring what it produced โ or where it fell over โ and we'll dig into it together Saturday.
