Generate grounded ideas for what to build next, critique every one, and rank the survivors in a Markdown file.

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

# Ideate

Answer one question: **which ideas are worth building?** Generate many, critique all of them, and explain only the **survivors**. Picking one and shaping it is the job of `/grill-with-docs`; this skill ends when the user holds a ranked list.

Every idea carries a **basis**, the evidence a reader can check. An idea without one is slop, however plausible it sounds. Tag each basis:

- `direct:` a file, issue, or commit the agent actually read, quoted with its `file:line`, issue reference, or commit identifier.
- `external:` named prior art or a known pattern, with its source.
- `reasoned:` a first-principles argument, written out in full.

## Process

### 1. Scope

The argument is the **focus**: a feature, a flow, a constraint, or nothing. Ideate at full ambition inside the focus, and keep the whole repo as the subject when there is none.
…

Read the whole file at its exact version.

How to install

The exact contents, by fingerprint

mdr add svyatov/supermatt/ideate@sha256:4b54ab4a8fa4be3f

The line at the top of this page pins the label git:20261018.f19c25a, 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.
