Evolve startup ideas through AI-powered natural selection.
Genesis runs a memetic algorithm over your idea direction: a Startup Visionary generates candidates, a Bootstrapper Analyst scores them across 8 dimensions, and a Pragmatic CTO refines the survivors into execution blueprints. Ideas that violate your constraints are eliminated before refinement. After the configured number of rounds, you get a winner and runner-up — each with a problem statement, monetization model, MVP scope, validation experiments, week-1 task list, and tech stack.

/genesis "developer productivity tools"For interactive constraint setup, use discovery mode:
/genesis "SaaS ideas" --discover- Memetic evolution loop: ideas go through GENERATE → CRITIQUE → ARBITER → REFINE → RE-SCORE, with fresh VARIATE injections on round 2+ to prevent convergence
- 8-dimension scoring with strategy weights: four strategies (bootstrapper, growth, moat, uniform) shift the emphasis to what matters for your stage and goals
- Hard constraint enforcement: budget, timeline, required skills, solo-founder mode, must-have and must-not elements are enforced by a deterministic arbiter before any refinement compute runs
- Actionable winner output: every surviving idea includes a tech stack, a week-1 execution plan, validation experiments, and the most likely failure modes
- Discovery mode: five guided questions translate your situation into the correct constraint flags without memorizing CLI syntax
Genesis makes no network calls. All agent dispatches stay inside Claude Code. Run artifacts are written to .genesis/runs/<run-id>/ on your local filesystem (config.json, state.json, final.json, summary.md). Nothing leaves your machine.
