ideation

ideation is a command for coding agents from fabriqaai/specs.md. It costs 12 tokens per session (399 once invoked), scanned A, original, MIT.

A command that starts an ideation workflow for generating, judging, and shaping ideas. It routes a topic, a set of ideas, or existing concepts to the matching stage.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it to generate ideas with Spark, evaluate them with Flame, or develop existing concepts with Forge.
Why use it?
It provides a defined path from an open question to a more considered concept. When no topic or ideas are supplied, it asks what you want to explore.

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 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 4d 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.

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.
