    About This Skill

    How to Use:
    To start, simply open the package in your favorite AI agent interface and instruct the agent:
    "Load the skill defined in SKILL.md and start the new product idea generation process."

    The agent will immediately greet you and prompt you for three parameters:
    1. Theme / Field of Interest (e.g., Robotics and Nursing Care)
    2. Product Category / Technology Layer (e.g., Speed Reducer Module)
    3. Execution Mode:
      • A. Step-by-Step Mode (Recommended): The agent pauses after each phase and waits for your feedback before proceeding.
      • B. All-at-Once Mode: The agent runs several phases continuously in one go.
    During execution, the agent automatically saves intermediate drafts to your outputs directory at each step, and compiles a final markdown innovation report at the end.

    - Optional Python Automation: An advanced Python script is included for users who want to automate execution, backing up raw session logs in JSON and generating an Excel tracking sheet (.xlsx).
