Idea parking lot manager — capture tangential ideas without derailing the current task


/massu-squirrels

Manages a parking lot for stray ideas that come up mid-session. Captures thoughts worth keeping without derailing the current task. Not a backlog -- just a scratchpad for unvetted, unscoped ideas.

When to Use

  • Mid-task ideas: When a tangential thought pops up that you do not want to lose
  • Scope creep prevention: Park the idea instead of acting on it now
  • Session review: Review accumulated ideas and promote the good ones to plans
  • Cleanup: Remove stale or irrelevant ideas periodically

What It Does

  • Manages .claude/session-state/squirrels.md as an idea parking lot
  • Supports adding, reviewing, promoting, and cleaning ideas
  • Groups ideas by age during review
  • Can promote an idea to a plan or task when ready
