Idea critic

Criticize through the routes the user selected. Run each provider route in a separate fresh context; neither route is a fallback or a quality tier. Route names identify providers, not the currently selected models. An unavailable provider does not become a second vote from the available provider.

The machine-readable onboarding contract lists external prerequisites.

Select mode

For /x9-idea-critic [mode] [idea], treat the first argument as a mode only when it is one of the recognized words below. Otherwise it is part of the idea. Natural-language requests map to the same modes.

When the invocation omits the idea, recover the latest clearly discussed proposal, intended outcome, success criterion, and known constraints from the conversation. Ask one short question only when the conversation leaves the target idea ambiguous.
