Ideate

Turns a problem statement into a small set of validated, evolved ideas by simulating a nominal group of independent generators, scoring with independent judges, and breeding the winners — instead of asking one context for a list and polishing it.

This SKILL.md is a thin index. Phase procedures live in rules/*.md and load on demand. The evidence behind every numerical default lives in references/ideation-research.md — section references below (§) point there, and its defaults tables flag which numbers are study values vs the skill's own operationalizations.
