ideate SKILL.md skillA

ideate from jongwony/epistemic-protocols is an agent skill: a SKILL.md folder an AI agent loads when a task calls for it.

Install it, pinned
mdr add jongwony/epistemic-protocols/ideate@git:20261023.2536820

Pins git:20261023.2536820 in mdr.lock. Pin the fingerprint instead.

The idea field is empty, narrowed too early, or thin: the user can then see one map from their words and what they name — frames, branches, idea origins, the unexplored — and take it, nothing chosen.

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

# Heuresis Protocol

Resolve an underexpanded candidate field through frame-parallel divergent generation, widening it in width and in depth, without ever eliminating, ranking, or selecting among the candidates it produces. Type: `(CandidateFieldUnderexpanded, User, DIVERGE, IdeationRequest) → DiverseCandidateField`.

## Definition

**Heuresis** (εὕρεσις): the act of finding or discovering — a dialogical act of widening a candidate field that is empty or has prematurely converged, before any selection is made. Divergent and convergent thinking are distinct operations (reviewed in Runco & Acar, 2012), and heuresis sits at the point where the candidate field itself is thin. While the field holds no candidate, heuresis shows an abstract frame map before any concrete idea — AI generation support amplifies fixation on the example already in view (Wadinambiarachchi et al., 2024), an instruction to avoid common examples reduced fixation when the examples were stated abstractly rather than concretely (Ezzat et al., 2020) — carried here, as a transfer, to showing abstract frames first — and ideating before seeing a model's ideas preserves ownership and yields ideas less similar to the…

How to install

The exact contents, by fingerprint
mdr add jongwony/epistemic-protocols/ideate@sha256:6e1b03247f6236be

The line at the top of this page pins the label git:20261023.2536820, 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.
