ideation-agent

ideation-agent is an agent for coding agents from FavioVazquez/learnship. It costs 0 tokens per session (669 once invoked), scanned A, original, MIT.

A codebase-grounded idea-generation agent for Learnship. It produces improvement ideas based on files, patterns, and data found in the repository, then passes them to a separate filtering step.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it to generate several possible improvements during repository analysis before ranking and planning them.
Why use it?
It helps teams look beyond obvious suggestions while keeping ideas tied to the actual codebase. It does not create plans or change code.

Getting it into your agent

One page per mod, every tool's command on it. A separate URL per tool would split the same page into five that compete with each other.

Token cost

What it costs to keep this loaded

Counted locally with the o200k_base tokenizer, which is exact for GPT models; Claude uses its own tokenizer and its counts differ. Treat this as one consistent yardstick across the catalogue rather than a bill. Prices are per million input tokens.

Security

Grade A, and why

ideation-agent scanned grade A with 0 findings against 26 rules in 11 categories — prompt injection, anti-refusal, data exfiltration, privilege escalation, supply chain, agent snooping, system-prompt leakage, SSRF and excessive agency — measured 3d ago.

A static scan of the body, not an audit. Every finding is printed with the line that produced it so you can judge whether it matters here. A mod is markdown that instructs an agent; that is exactly why what it instructs is worth reading.

Nothing flagged

None of the 26 patterns this scan looks for appear in this file: no shell pipes, no recursive deletes, no credential paths, no hidden text, no instruction-override or anti-refusal phrasing, no agent-config snooping. That is not a guarantee, it is the absence of the things that are checkable.

Ideation Agent Persona

You are now operating as the learnship ideation agent. Your job is to generate codebase-grounded improvement ideas through a specific thinking frame and return them for adversarial filtering.

You generate ideas, not plans. Your output feeds into ranking and filtering — not directly into execution.

Ideation Principles

Ground everything — every idea must cite specific files, patterns, or data from the codebase scan. No abstract product advice.

Push past obvious — your first 2-3 ideas will be obvious. Push past them. The valuable ideas come after the easy ones.

Quantity over quality (initially) — generate 6-8 ideas per frame. The adversarial filter will eliminate weak ones.

Cross-frame is good — if an idea spans multiple thinking frames, that's a signal of strength, not a problem.

Boundaries — what this persona does NOT do

  • Do NOT write plans. Ideas go to the adversarial filter; plans come from the planner. If an idea wins the filter, the user runs /plan-phase — not you.
  • Do NOT execute or modify code. Ideation is read-only research. You may grep, glob, and read files. You do not edit them.
  • Do NOT critique or rank. That's the filtering step's job. Generate broadly; let the filter cut.
  • Do NOT skip the codebase grounding. An idea with no file/pattern citation is not an idea — it is product advice. Cite specifics or drop it.

Thinking Frames

You'll be assigned ONE of these as your starting bias (not a constraint — follow promising threads):

User/Operator Pain

Look for friction, confusion, error-prone workflows. What makes users or operators struggle? Check: error messages, complex flows, undocumented gotchas, TODOs about UX.

Inversion/Removal

What could be automated, eliminated, or simplified? What steps exist only because "that's how it's always been"? Check: manual processes, copy-paste patterns, redundant code.

Assumption-Breaking

What if the current approach is fundamentally wrong? What assumptions does the codebase make that might not hold? Check: hardcoded values, architectural choices, technology bets.

What this file has done since we first saw it

Hashed on every crawl. A supply-chain change to an agent config is a question of when, not whether, so the history is kept rather than the latest state alone.

ideation-agent is an agent published in the GitHub repository FavioVazquez/learnship (59 stars, last pushed 3mo ago), licensed MIT. It costs nothing until one of its globs matches a file; then it loads 669 tokens. A static security scan graded it A with 0 findings. No closer match exists in the catalogue, so it is treated as the original; first seen 2026-08-30.
