Use this skill at Step 0 of a hackathon build — BEFORE the architect — when the builder has a blank start and needs to go from "I want to build something for <hackathon>" to ONE scoped, shippable project idea. It diverges (generates many varied candidates), then converges on an external, event-tied weighted rubric to a single committed brief, and hands that brief to the architect in the exact format it ingests. Trigger it when the user says "help me come up with a hackathon idea…

Collected from public GitHub. Every version is saved exactly as it was and never changes. Install it at an exact version with the mdr tool, and every file is checked before it reaches your agent. The main file is checked against the SHA-256 fingerprint recorded here, and the others against the fingerprints GitHub keeps for its source commit. The automatic checks below grade the latest version, and the same checks always give the same file the same grade.

What the file says

# Idea Forge — Step 0: blank start → one scoped hackathon brief

## What this is

Idea Forge is **Step 0 of the build pipeline — upstream of the architect.** The architect shapes an
idea you already have into a spec; Idea Forge invents the idea you don't. It takes a builder from a
blank start to **exactly one scoped, shippable hackathon project**, then hands that project to the
architect in the format it ingests — so Step 0 feeds Step 1 with zero reformatting.

Three moves: **diverge** (many varied candidates) → **converge** (score on an external, event-tied
rubric and commit to one) → **hand off** (emit one brief the architect can run).

**Announce at start:** "I'm using the idea-forge skill to take you from a blank start to one scoped,
shippable hackathon brief."

## The one output

One **brief** — never a list. A ranked shortlist is an intermediate artifact you pass through on the
way to the answer; it is never what you deliver. If you find yourself ending on "here are 3 ideas,
which do you like?", you have failed the skill. Drive to one.

## Step 1 — Elicit the inputs (before generating anything)

How to install

The exact contents, by fingerprint
mdr add bitnormie01/build-system/idea-forge@sha256:15f8392fa47420e5

The line at the top of this page pins the label git:20261024.f795b0a, which is what most people want. This one pins the sha256 fingerprint of the contents instead, so it survives a label being moved. Either way the exact version is written to mdr.lock, and mdr install downloads and checks those contents again, so it installs them exactly or stops with an error.
