ideate

Solid

Generates, stress-tests, and iteratively evolves ideas for a stated problem — product concepts, features, solution options, strategies — using research-grounded divergent/convergent agent loops: parallel persona generators (nominal-group simulation), independent judges scoring novelty, feasibility, impact, and fit on separate axes, and bounded recombination rounds gated by /confidence. Auto-triages run depth (quick in-context vs deep multi-agent; override with quick|deep). Use when brainstorming, exploring solution options, or pressure-testing a concept. Triggers on "brainstorm", "give me ideas", "help me come up with", "ideate on", "what could we build", "/ideate".

Skill Content

# Ideate Turns a problem statement into a small set of validated, evolved ideas by simulating a nominal group of independent generators, scoring with independent judges, and breeding the winners — instead of asking one context for a list and polishing it. > **This `SKILL.md` is a thin index.** Phase procedures live in `rules/*.md` and load on demand. > The evidence behind every numerical default lives in [`references/ideation-research.md`](./references/ideation-research.md) — section references below (§) point there, and its defaults tables flag which numbers are study values vs the skill's own operationalizations. ## Contents - [Mode Detection](#mode-detection) - [Workflow](#workflow) - [Quick vs deep](#quick-vs-deep) - [Composition](#composition) - [Core Principles](#core-principles) - [Self-Improvement](#self-improvement) - [Anti-patterns](#anti-patterns) - [Definition of Done](#definition-of-done) --- ## Mode Detection Parse `$ARGUMENTS`: | Mode | Default | Trigger | | ------- | ------- | ---------------------------------------------------- | | `quick` | | `quick` token, or auto-triage says small. | | `deep` | | `deep` token, or auto-triage says open-ended. | | auto | **yes** | No mode token — run the depth triage table below. | | Flag | Default | Meaning | | -------------- | ------- | --------------------------------...

ideate

Structured idea generation for a project or a blank-slate problem — ideas worth pursuing, not the first one that sticks. Grounds in the current repo (AGENTS.md/README) or a freeform problem, then diverges across named lenses (adjacent user, removed constraint, inversion, and more) so a run yields range, not ten variations of one idea. Fights premature convergence — nothing judged until the divergence quota is met — then verdicts each idea EXPLORE/PARK/DROP, where DROP is cheap. EXPLORE items become seeds for priorart (is it novel?) or feature (build it); verdicts persist in out/ideate/tracker.md so repeat runs open with what's new. Keyless. Use to generate, brainstorm, or explore ideas or new directions for a project or problem — e.g. "/ideate", "/ideate <topic>", "brainstorm features for X". For whether an idea already exists use priorart; for competitor features use scout; for choosing between named options use verdict.

ideate

Evolutionary ideation engine — loop-controlled multi-cycle idea generation through phases of dreaming, cross-domain stealing, recombination, fitness testing, selection, and Lamarckian meta-learning, producing ranked novel solution candidates with provenance. USE WHEN ideate, id8, novel ideas, evolve ideas, dream up solutions, innovate, breakthrough ideas, idea evolution, multi-cycle creativity, need genuinely new approaches. NOT FOR quick single-pass brainstorming (use BeCreative).
