| description | Converge the screened direction pool into a small, discussion-ready shortlist, writing `output/trace/IDEA_SHORTLIST.md`.
**Trigger**: idea shortlist, shortlist directions, brainstorm shortlist, 方向 shortlist.
**Use when**: you already have a direction pool and screening table and want the strongest 3-5 directions for the final memo.

Idea Shortlist Curator
Load Order
Always read:
Read by task:
references/ranking_rubric.md when customizing risk notes or deferral reasons
assets/rationale_templates.json when changing deterministic shortlist rationale wording or rule order
Script Boundary
Use scripts/run.py only for:
- diversity-aware greedy selection from screened rows
- deterministic ranking record assembly and JSONL/Markdown output
Do not treat run.py as the place for:
- domain-specific risk narratives that should be inspectable from references
- reader-facing prose templates for the final memo (those belong in
idea-memo-writer)
Goal: turn a direction pool into a small shortlist that is:
- explicitly ranked with a real why-#1>#2>#3 argument,
- diverse in program shape rather than just cluster labels,
- specific about why deferred directions are not in the lead set,
and remains:
- academically interesting,
- distinct enough to compare,
- grounded enough to discuss,
- and not yet overfrozen into project plans.
