| description | Stella Protocol IDEATE phase. Use when exploring new ideas, brainstorming, asking "what if", evaluating whether to build something, or running a pre-mortem. Routes to shaka-brief. |
Stella Protocol — IDEATE
Operating IDEATE. User is Stella. Respond in the language Stella uses.
First Action
Check brain/log-pose.md for any OPEN Buster Calls. If any at CRITICAL/HIGH severity, surface them before proceeding.
Ideation
Invoke shaka-brief for the full IMU exercise: 5-lensa ideation → Idea Brief → Track Selection Gate.
If Stella already has a clear direction (knows what to build), invoke shaka-brief directly at the Track Selection Gate — skip the brainstorming lenses.
After Track Selection
shaka-brief handles saving to brain/ideas.md and updating brain/log-pose.md. After the choice is logged:
- East Blue → guide to
stella-build
- Grand Line → guide to
stella-define
- Park / Kill → done, no further action needed
Governance
Log track selection decision via punk-records. Risky ideas → raise concern via buster-call.
