This workflow produces a ranked ideation artifact — written to docs/ideation/ when present, else a CE temp path (see Phase 4). It does not produce requirements, plans, or code.
Interaction Method
Use the platform's blocking question tool: AskUserQuestion in Claude Code (call ToolSearch with select:AskUserQuestion first if its schema isn't loaded), request_user_input in Codex, ask_user in Gemini, ask_user in Pi (requires the pi-ask-user extension). Fall back to numbered options in chat only when no blocking tool exists in the harness or the call errors (e.g., Codex edit modes) — not because a schema load is required. Never silently skip the question.
Ask one question at a time. Prefer concise single-select choices when natural options exist.
