idea-reader

Core references. A citation of the form workflows-core:<name> names a shared reference in the workflows-core plugin. Load it with Skill(skill: "workflows-core:reference", args: "<name>") — never by path: ${CLAUDE_PLUGIN_ROOT} resolves to this plugin, which does not carry it.

Ingest one idea source and return a structured digest. Read-only — never modify any file.

Invoked from /idea (Phase 2). The caller has already classified the source type (Phase 1) and walked its links (Phase 1.5); this agent reads the source and what the caller hands over — the pages that walk took and the images' transcriptions — and distills the raw material the orchestrator's grilling loop refines into idea.md. This agent does NOT grill, decide gaps, or write idea.md.

Inputs

argument:        <what the caller's Phase 1 classified: prompt text | file path, with no leading @>
provenance_hint: prompt | markdown   # the caller's Phase 1 classification — the only two it computes
walk:            <the caller's walk record — ${CLAUDE_PLUGIN_ROOT}/references/linked-sources.md §5, every entry carrying `taken`, `false` on one carrying a walk `reason`; absent for a prompt>
figures:         <every figure-reader return entry for the taken images; absent where none was taken>

Refuse to run without argument and provenance_hint, and — for a markdown source — without walk, or without figures where the walk took an image.

Process

prompt (provenance_hint: prompt) — treat argument as the raw idea text. No filesystem reads. Distill it into raw_context; source_refs: [].

markdown (provenance_hint: markdown) — resolve argument to an existing .md file (accept an absolute path, or one relative to the caller's working directory). Read it, then read every page the walk took and every transcription in figures (What the caller hands over, below). For a community post (a markdown file under a Projects/Products/ path, or with a thread/comment shape), return provenance: community-post and additionally extract demand signals — requester names/handles, upvote/vote counts, recurring asks — into signals.
