Find long and short candidates across a universe when no name is on the table yet: mandate, universe validation, archetype screens, thematic sweep, triage, idea cards, idea log. Triggers on idea generation, stock screen, find ideas, what looks interesting, screen for, new ideas, pitch me something.

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 Generation

A funnel, not a screen dump. A name that clears a filter is a **candidate**: it has earned the next hour of work, nothing more. The output is a short ranked list where each name says why it surfaced, what would have to be true, and what would kill it, plus the names that screened well and were rejected, which is where most of the learning sits.

Evidence labels, source tiers, staleness, the readiness posture and the intake limits: `.agents/skills/research-conventions/SKILL.md`, read before the first deliverable.

## Step 1: Mandate and universe

Read the investor-mandate memory first per `.agents/skills/research-conventions/references/intake.md`, then ask only about the forks it leaves open. Record every slot, with a disclosed default where nothing fixes it:

| Slot | Default when unstated |
|---|---|
| Mandate and vehicle | long-only fundamental |
| Objective | absolute return over a multi-quarter horizon |
| Direction | long, plus shorts only where the mandate allows them |
| Horizon | two to eight quarters, which is what the screens below are calibrated for |
| Geography and listing | the user's home market, primary listings |

How to install

The exact contents, by fingerprint
mdr add ginlix-ai/langalpha/idea-generation@sha256:11df6d206dde0ef5

The line at the top of this page pins the label git:20260921.26f807b, 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.
