SYSTEM DOCUMENTATION & REQUIREMENTS

What problem does it solve?

ce-ideate addresses the need for grounded, explainable ideation within a codebase by anchoring ideas to repository context, surfacing diverse directions, and surfacing rationale for each option.

Core Features & Use Cases

  • Grounding heavy: Phase 1 grounding (codebase context or user context) combined with optional web research and learnings to inform ideation.
  • Divergent ideation: Phase 2 generates multiple frames (roughly 6 ideas per frame) across several perspectives, ensuring ideas stay tethered to the grounding.
  • Adversarial critique: Phase 3 applies rejection criteria to surface only strong, well-supported survivors.
  • Presentation and persistence: Phase 4 surfaces 5–7 survivors with warrants, then Phase 5/6 allow saving to docs (repo-mode) or Proof (elsewhere-mode).
  • Optional context: Slack and real-time context augmentation can be opt-in for grounding.

Quick Start

Provide a topic to ideate on within your codebase and ce-ideate will ground it, generate multiple ideas across frames, critique them adversarially, and surface 5–7 survivors.

FAQPage Schema
How do I generate grounded ideas anchored to my codebase context?

To generate grounded ideas anchored to your codebase context, provide a topic and the system will execute multi-frame ideation, tethering generated concepts to repository docs and workflows before applying adversarial critique to surface survivors.

What is adversarial critique in codebase ideation and when do I need it?

Adversarial critique in codebase ideation is a rejection phase that filters generated concepts to surface only strong, well-supported survivors. You need it when divergent ideation produces too many untested ideas requiring strict validation.

How do I ideate across multiple perspectives without losing repository grounding?

You ideate across multiple perspectives without losing repository grounding by using a multi-frame exploration phase that generates roughly six ideas per frame, ensuring every divergent concept stays explicitly tethered to original codebase context.

Does codebase ideation work with Slack context and web research?

Yes, codebase ideation works with Slack context and web research as optional, opt-in augmentations during the grounding phase to inform the generation of ideas with real-time external data and conversation history.

Can I save ideation survivors directly to repository docs?

Yes, you can save ideation survivors directly to repository docs. In repo-mode, the system persists the five to seven surfaced survivors with warrants into your documentation, or saves them to Proof when operating elsewhere-mode.

What's the best way to critique generated concepts against rejection criteria?

The best way to critique generated concepts against rejection criteria is applying an adversarial review phase that filters multi-frame ideas, surfacing only five to seven well-supported survivors with explicit warrants attached.
