ideate

Overview

Runs the ideation stage in three shards: extract → discover → validate.

Prerequisites

1. Project has been initialized for Claude Code (cfsa-antigravity init --agent claude)
2. .claude/instructions/tech-stack.md exists
3. User has provided an idea (inline or @file)

Step-by-Step

Step 0 — Re-run and cascade guard

1. Check whether .memory/wiki/specs/ideation/ideation-index.md exists.
2. If missing: continue.
3. If present and valid: scan downstream artifacts (.memory/wiki/specs/*-architecture-design.md, .memory/wiki/specs/ia/, .memory/wiki/specs/be/, .memory/wiki/specs/fe/).
4. If downstream artifacts exist: STOP and require explicit overwrite confirmation due to cascade invalidation.
5. If user aborts: end workflow.

Step 1 — Run extract shard

Call skill: ideate-extract

Input:

• input_source

Expected outputs:

• .memory/wiki/specs/ideation/ fractal structure seeded
• ## Structural Classification written in ideation index
• ## Engagement Tier written
• ## Expansion Mode written

Step 2 — Run discover shard

Call skill: ideate-discover

Expected outputs:

• Recursive domain exploration completed
• Meta problem/persona/competitive files created
• MoSCoW populated
• Cross-cut synthesis pass completed

Step 3 — Run validate shard

Call skill: ideate-validate

Expected outputs:

• .memory/wiki/specs/ideation/meta/constraints.md
• .memory/wiki/specs/vision.md
• .memory/wiki/specs/feature-ledger.md
• Ideation rubric self-check complete

Completion Checklist

• Re-run/cascade guard evaluated
• Extract shard completed
• Discover shard completed
• Validate shard completed
• User review requested for ideation outputs
• Next pipeline step explicitly recommended

Next Steps

After approval of ideation outputs, the only valid next command is:

• /audit-ambiguity ideation
