Ideation

Two modes. Detect which one the user needs.

Mode A — Conversation: Diverge, converge, stress-test, or spec in conversation. No files produced. Use when the user is exploring or analyzing.

Mode B — Pipeline: Full artifact generation (contract → PRD → spec). Use only when the user explicitly wants files such as a PRD, requirements, or implementation spec.

Boundary: use obsidian/ideas for merely capturing an idea, prototype when the user wants to build/scaffold/ship the MVP, and dev/spec when implementation scope is already chosen and needs a technical spec.

Completion Criteria

For conversation mode, finish only after one of these is true:

• Diverge: 8–10 options are produced and the user has a clear next choice.
• Converge: one recommendation is named with trade-offs and rejected options.
• Stress test: strongest version, riskiest assumption, failure modes, and next validation step are stated.
• Spec: problem, solution, success metric, v1 scope, and next steps are concrete.
