# Idea Generate
This skill guides the user through a process of **Divergence** (creating many options) and **Convergence** (refining the best ones).

- Use **First Principles** to strip away assumptions and find fundamental truths.
- Use **SCAMPER** to iterate on existing concepts or twist them into something new.
3. **Present Raw List**: Output a simple list of ideas with a one-sentence summary for each.
### Phase 2: Selection & Filtering
Collaborate with the user to narrow down the list.
1. **User Feedback**: Ask the user which 2-3 ideas resonate most or if any specific "spark" should be pursued further.
2. **Preliminary Refinement**: Briefly flesh out the shortlisted ideas into basic concepts.
### Phase 3: Convergence (Stress-Testing)
Turn raw ideas into robust plans by attempting to break them.
1. **The Gr
