What it does

Generate and evaluate grounded ideas. Use when the user wants ideas, improvements, or surprising directions before choosing one to develop. Not for refining an idea they already have (ce-brainstorm) or judging one already on the table (ce-pov).

Generate Improvement Ideas

ce-ideate runs before ce-brainstorm. This skill answers "which ideas are worth exploring?" ce-brainstorm then answers what one chosen idea should mean. ce-plan answers how it gets built.

Done: a ranked ideation artifact is written to <root>/ideation/ when that root is present, else to a CE temp path. Every idea generated has been critiqued, and the survivors are explained. The user is left holding the next-steps menu. No requirements, plans, or code.
