sds-ideator (The Brainstorming Skill)¶

sds-ideator is the front-door of the SDS lifecycle. It is designed to engage with developers and product managers to refine abstract goals into actionable, verifiable specifications.

[!NOTE] Ecosystem Status: 🟡 In Progress / 模块开发状态：进行中 This module (sds-ideator) is currently In Progress as outlined in our Roadmap. The specifications and instructions below describe the target design and behavioral interface, but the physical skill package is not yet fully active. 本模块目前处于开发中阶段。下述规范和指令描述了其目标架构和行为定义，但其实体技能包尚未正式激活。

Key Capabilities¶

Socratic Interviewing: Instead of accepting a simple one-sentence instruction (e.g., "Make a check out button"), the ideator asks logical clarifying questions about edge cases, constraints, and business rules.
Gherkin-Style Formulation: Automatically translates refined scenarios into structured Given-When-Then Acceptance Criteria (ACs).
Drafting Stage Separation: Saves all raw research, Q&A records, and comparison drafts in the gitignored specs_review/ workspace to prevent main branch noise.
Promotion Mapping: Once approved, compiles the finalized, product-oriented specification and saves it as spec.md under specs/.

Agent Usage Instructions¶

When an LLM agent activates the sds-ideator skill, it must: 1. Actively grill the user on business boundaries. 2. Identify actors, preconditions, happy paths, and error constraints. 3. Establish the schema structures conceptually (no physical datatypes or programming language terms).
