ce-ideate

Grounded software design ideas are generated by analyzing repository context or user-provided constraints to produce candidate improvements. The process requires explicit warrants and clear rationale for each idea, pruning them adversarially to a concise set of survivors.

Critically evaluating product improvement ideas involves generating multiple candidates with explicit warrants, such as direct, external, or reasoned justifications. Each idea undergoes adversarial critiquing to filter down to 5–7 survivors based on rationale, downsides, and complexity.

Structured ideation artifacts include titles, summaries, rationale, downsides, confidence, and implementation notes for each candidate. This format provides the explicit warrants and rejection summaries needed to justify why specific ideas survive the filtering process.

You can generate software project ideas without a specific subject using a surprise-me mode. This mode surfaces diverse subjects grounded in available repository context or user-provided constraints, maintaining the structured warrant and critique evaluation process.

A limitation of adversarial critiquing in software ideation is that it strictly filters outputs to 5–7 survivors, rejecting other candidates. This approach requires sufficient repository context or user-provided constraints to generate grounded ideas with explicit warrants.

Yes, ideation works with user-provided contexts if you lack a repository. The process operates on either repo-grounded subjects or user-provided constraints to generate structured candidate ideas with explicit warrants.
