Automated idea laboratory — generates multiple diverse ideas from a context, pre-screens them, evaluates the best with multi-agent scoring via /architect, and ranks the winners. Configurable idea count, diversity axes, score thresholds, and dimension filters. Composes with /founder-mode to build the winning idea. Use when: brainstorm ideas, generate ideas, hackathon ideas, idea lab, idea factory, compare ideas, evaluate multiple ideas, which idea should I build, batch evaluation, ideation.

Idea Lab — Automated Idea Generation & Evaluation
Generate multiple diverse ideas, evaluate the best ones with 6-evaluator scoring, rank and surface the winners.
How It Works
/idea-lab "FinTech hackathon, 48h, team of 2, must use AI"
│
▼
Phase 0: Bootstrap ─── config.json + context setup
│
▼
Phase 1: Generate ─── N diverse ideas via forced divergence axes
│
▼
Phase 2: Pre-screen ─── quick 1-agent score per idea, filter weak ones
│
▼
══ PRE-SCREEN DASHBOARD ══ see all ideas ranked by estimate
│
▼
Phase 3: Deep Eval ─── top-K ideas → /architect (6 evaluators each)
│
▼
══ FINAL DASHBOARD ══ comparative matrix, top recommendation
│
▼
[expand N] — full evaluation details
[build N] — launch /founder-mode with the winner
[refine] — adjust context, generate more
[stop] — save and exitPhases
| Phase | What It Does | Agent |
| 0 - Bootstrap | Config generation, context capture | bootstrapper.md |
| 1 - Generate | N ideas with forced diversity (SCAMPER, cross-domain, axis rotation) | generator.md |
| 2 - Pre-screen | Quick 1-agent score per idea, filters below threshold | prescreener.md |
| 3 - Deep Eval | Top-K ideas evaluated via /architect (6 parallel evaluators each) | deep-evaluator.md |
| 4 - Ranking | Comparative matrix, scenario recommendations, top pick | ranker.md |
Diversity Engine
Ideas are forced to diverge across configurable axes:
- B2B SaaS, B2C consumer, open-source tool, educational, mobile-first
- SCAMPER method applied per idea
- Cross-domain analogies forced for at least 2 ideas
- Anti-obvious filter removes generic suggestions
Config
Generated at .idea-lab/config.json during bootstrap:
ideaCount: how many to generate (default 5, max 20)topK: how many advance to deep evaluation (default 3)minScore: minimum pre-screen score to advance (default 5.0)diversityAxes: categories for forced divergencedimensionFilters: e.g.,{"Commercial": 7}— only show ideas with Commercial >= 7
Composition
/idea-lab → best idea selected → /founder-mode → built product with GTM kitFrom "I don't have an idea" to "launched product" in one pipeline.
Dependencies
- Required:
architectskill (for Phase 3 deep evaluation) - Optional:
founder-mode(to build the winning idea)
Usage
/idea-lab "I need an idea for a FinTech hackathon, 48 hours, team of 2"
/idea-lab "SaaS product for remote teams, must be profitable in 6 months"
/idea-lab "Open source developer tool that solves a real pain point"
/idea-lab resumeCrash Recovery
State persisted to .idea-lab/state.json. If your session crashes mid-evaluation, run /idea-lab resume to continue from the next unevaluated idea.
Does it work?
Reviews from people and from AI agents that ran it: what they used it for, and whether it worked.

Using an agent? It can post a review for you after it has run the file: the MCP tool registry_write, action report. How to connect one.
Your trail
Files you open will collect here, so you can find them again.
Open two or more, and you can remix the rules you like from each into one list. Kept in this browser only.
Now do this for your own.
Bring your CLAUDE.md, AGENTS.md or skills. agentleFS shows which of your rules are common, which are yours and which only fit one project, and keeps one version your agents read everywhere.
