ideate

# Ideate ## Overview Capture a user's idea and write a single markdown file in `design/ideas/` using the required format: Idea summary, research, and a sketch in a code block. ## Workflow 1. **Clarify briefly if needed**: Ask 1–3 quick questions only if the idea is too vague to summarize or research. 2. **Read local context**: Enumerate and read all files under `design/` (recursive). Summarize only what is relevant to the idea. 3. **Do research**: Use both local context and web research when it materially improves the idea. Prefer concise, credible sources. 4. **Write the idea file**: - Ensure `design/ideas/` exists; create it if missing. - File name: `YYYY-MM-DD-<kebab-idea-title>.md`. If a file already exists, append `-2`, `-3`, etc. - Content format must be exactly: ````md # Idea {summarization from the user} # Research {agent research supporting the idea} # Sketch ```{format} {agent generated sketch (ASCII, Mermaid, or pseudocode UI)} ``` ```` ## Sketch guidance - Use a single code block in the Sketch section. - Preferred formats: `mermaid`, `text`, or `md` (ASCII wireframe). Pick the one that best conveys the concept. - Keep the sketch lightweight and illustrative, not exhaustive. ## Research guidance - Incorporate relevant findings from `design/` files first. - Add web research only when it adds concrete value; include source links in the Research section when used. - Keep it concise and directly tied to the idea.
