Both modes explore and advise; neither selects, schedules,\ntracks, implements, or validates work.</p>\n<h2>Modes</h2>\n<table>\n<thead>\n<tr>\n<th>Trigger phrases</th>\n<th>Mode</th>\n<th>Output contract</th>\n</tr>\n</thead>\n<tbody>\n<tr>\n<td>\"idea genie\", \"what should we build\", \"supported opportunities\"</td>\n<td>elicit (single genie)</td>\n<td><code>idea-portfolio.v1</code> via <code>scripts/validate-output.sh</code></td>\n</tr>\n<tr>\n<td>\"challenge this idea\", \"compare independent proposals\", \"stress-test a one-way door\"</td>\n<td>duel (adversarial challenge)</td>\n<td><code>idea-challenge.v1</code> via <code>scripts/validate-challenge.sh</code></td>\n</tr>\n</tbody>\n</table>\n<p>Elicitation is the entry mode. Dueling is an optional escalation for a\nconsequential choice, typically consuming an <code>idea-portfolio.v1</code> or a framed\nquestion.</p>\n<h2>Elicit mode</h2>\n<p>Generate a small portfolio of evidenced options.</p>\n<ol>\n<li>State the question, constraints, non-goals, and sources. Hydrate only the sources this question needs and cite them; no merged context store.</li>\n<li>Separate cited observations from assumptions.</li>\n<li>Give each candidate its supporting evidence, overlap with existing\ncapabilities, and one normal or edge scenario.</li>\n<li>Run a novelty pass, merge equivalents, and discard unsupported ideas.</li>\n<li>Stop when no materially new evidenced candidate appears.</li>\n<li>Write and validate <code>idea-portfolio.v1</code>, then return it to the caller or Plan.</li>\n</ol>\n<p>An empty <code>no-new-work</code> portfolio is valid. Plan alone may incorporate a selected\noption into the existing bead or caller intent.</p>\n<h2>Duel mode</h2>\n<p>Produce independent challenges for a consequential choice. The result is\nadvisory evidence for Plan. It never decides whether a plan is ready and never\nturns a later optional Premortem challenge into an approval gate.</p>\n<h3>Constraints</h3>\n<ul>\n<li>Keep generation sealed until every perspective is complete to prevent later\nproposals from anchoring on earlier ones.</li>\n<li>Preserve dissent and concrete refutation attempts because Plan must see alternatives\nthat synthesis might otherwise erase.</li>\n<li>Keep reversible choices lightweight because they do not warrant a pane manager,\nmessaging service, council, or model-family rule.</li>\n<li>Emit no readiness, approval, quorum, retry, budget, helper, delivery, or\ntracker state because this strategy supplies evidence rather than lifecycle\nauthority.</li>\n</ul>\n<h3>Workflow</h3>\n<ol>\n<li>Freeze the question, constraints, evidence paths, and comparison rubric.</li>\n<li>For a one-way door, create at least two fresh contexts with distinct context\nidentifiers. Each produces its perspective before any is revealed. When the\ncaller pins perspectives to model profiles, record each perspective's\n<code>model_identity</code> (see the <code>agent-native</code> model-dispatch recipe); a\nduel may use two distinct models on request. Sealed generation is unchanged:\nno perspective may see another before reveal. Unavailable profiles → disclose\nand continue single-model.</li>\n<li>Reveal the sealed perspectives and cross-review by evidence, reversibility,\nsystem fit, failure modes, and cost.</li>\n<li>Attempt concrete refutations. Preserve disagreements, failed refutations,\nand minority reasoning.</li>\n<li>Write <code>idea-challenge.v1</code>, validate it, and pass the artifact to Plan as one\noptional input alongside research and operator intent.</li>\n</ol>\n<p>For a cheap two-way door, emit the lightweight packet directly after one fresh\nchallenge. Do not manufacture panel ceremony.</p>\n<h3>Output Specification</h3>\n<ul>\n<li><strong>Artifact directory:</strong> <code>.agents/scratch/ideas/&lt;run-id&gt;/</code></li>\n<li><strong>Filename:</strong> <code>idea-challenge.json</code></li>\n<li><strong>Format:</strong> <code>idea-challenge.v1</code> JSON with route-specific fields enforced by\nthe validator</li>\n<li><strong>Validation command:</strong>\n<code>skills/idea-genie/scripts/validate-challenge.sh &lt;idea-challenge.json&gt;</code></li>\n<li><strong>Downstream handoff:</strong> <code>handoff.owner</code> is exactly <code>plan</code>; Plan may accept,\nreject, or combine the advisory evidence</li>\n</ul>\n<h3>Quality</h3>\n<ul>\n<li>One-way packets prove distinct context IDs and cross-review another\nperspective by named dimensions.</li>\n<li>Dissent and refutation attempts remain explicit.</li>\n<li>The packet contains no semantic readiness field or decision.</li>\n<li>The validator passes before handoff to Plan.</li>\n</ul>\n<h3>Do not</h3>\n<ul>\n<li>Let perspectives see one another before sealed generation completes.</li>\n<li>Convert consensus, transport availability, or a self-score into readiness.</li>\n<li>Require orchestration infrastructure for a reversible choice.</li>\n</ul>\n<h2>References</h2>\n<ul>\n<li><a href=\"references/idea-genie.feature\">Idea Genie behavior</a></li>\n<li><a href=\"references/idea-challenge.feature\">Idea challenge behavior</a></li>\n</ul>\n","files":[{"path":"references/idea-challenge.feature","sizeBytes":791,"isText":false},{"path":"references/idea-genie.feature","sizeBytes":843,"isText":false},{"path":"scripts/validate-challenge.sh","sizeBytes":2394,"isText":true},{"path":"scripts/validate-output.sh","sizeBytes":1316,"isText":true},{"path":"SKILL.md","sizeBytes":5573,"isText":true}],"reviewScore":null,"reviewSummary":null,"trust":{"provenance":"trusted-source-unreviewed","notice":"Community-authored content, reproduced verbatim and not vetted as instructions.
