FAQPage Schema
How do I generate grounded improvement ideas for my project?

To generate grounded improvement ideas, you can trigger ideation by asking what to improve or requesting suggestions. The skill analyzes your repository context to produce concrete, implementable directions anchored in your actual codebase constraints.

How does adversarial critique and survivor ranking work for ideation?

Adversarial critique and survivor ranking evaluates generated ideas by challenging their viability, then filtering and ranking them. This structured evaluation surfaces only high-value directions for future work.

Can I use this to brainstorm product management upgrades before detailed planning?

Yes, you can use this for product management upgrades before detailed planning. It surfaces strong, actionable directions by generating and critically evaluating grounded ideas within your current repository context.

What is the best way to proactively suggest project directions using AI?

The best way to proactively suggest project directions is to request AI-generated improvement ideas using prompts like 'surprise me with improvements'. The skill then ranks and filters these grounded suggestions for future work.

Does ideation evaluation work without adding external dependencies?

Yes, ideation evaluation works without external dependencies. The skill operates independently to generate, critically evaluate, and rank grounded improvement ideas based entirely on your existing repository context.

When should I not use AI-generated project improvement suggestions?

You should not use AI-generated project improvement suggestions when refining your own existing idea. This skill is designed for proactive ideation and exploring new directions, not for refining user-provided concepts.
