ce:ideas

ce:ideas is a skill for Claude Code from Jerrylalala/compound-engineering. It costs 28 tokens per session (1,413 once invoked), scanned A, original, MIT.

A command guide for managing an IDEAS.md file, which acts as a parking lot for unfinished project ideas. It supports showing existing ideas or generating suggestions for a chosen direction.

In plain words
What is it for?
Listing unfinished ideas, recommending a few directions, generating improvements for a selected topic, and optionally saving them to IDEAS.md. It also handles missing or fully completed idea files.
Why use it?
It gives ideas a consistent place and workflow instead of leaving them scattered. It also records the current year correctly when new entries are added and asks the user how to proceed.

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

ce:ideas 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 6d 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.

Ideas 管理命令

Note: The current year is 2026. Use this when dating new entries added to IDEAS.md.

ce:ideas 是想法停车场的统一入口:

  • 无参数:展示 IDEAS.md,推荐优先方向,引导进入 brainstorm
  • 有参数:针对该方向生成新改进建议(原 ideate 行为),结束时询问是否存入 IDEAS.md

IDEAS.md 路径:IDEAS.md(项目根目录)

Interaction Method

使用平台的阻塞问答工具(Claude Code 中为 AskUserQuestion)。每次只问一个问题,优先使用单选。

Focus Argument

<focus_argument> #$ARGUMENTS </focus_argument>


Execution Flow

Phase 0: 路由检测

检测 $ARGUMENTS 是否有实质内容(去除空格后为空 = 无参数):

  • 无参数 → 进入 Phase 1A(停车场路径)
  • 有参数 → 进入 Phase 1B(生成路径)

Phase 1A: 停车场路径(无参数)

目标:展示 IDEAS.md,帮用户从已有想法中选一个方向。

1A.1 读取 IDEAS.md

读取项目根目录的 IDEAS.md

  • 若文件不存在 → 提示「IDEAS.md 还没有内容,帮你生成第一批想法」→ 跳转 Phase 1B(无 focus_argument,open-ended)
  • 若文件存在但无未完成条目(- [ ] = 0)→ 提示「IDEAS.md 的所有想法都已完成,帮你生成新方向」→ 跳转 Phase 1B
1A.2 展示并推荐

展示所有未完成条目(- [ ]),格式:

IDEAS.md 中有 N 个待执行方向:

1. **[想法标题]** — [简短描述]
   来源:[来源链接]

2. **[想法标题]** — [简短描述]
   来源:[来源链接]

...

推荐优先探索(前 2-3 个):
⭐ [序号]. [理由,1 句话]
⭐ [序号]. [理由,1 句话]

推荐排序逻辑(简单启发式):

  1. 来源文件近期(近 30 天)且仍存在 → 优先级高
  2. 来源文件明确标记 active → 优先级高
  3. 其余按出现顺序
1A.3 AskUserQuestion

使用 AskUserQuestion 询问:

「IDEAS.md 中有 [N] 个待执行方向。你想怎么做?」

选项:

  1. 选择一个方向(输入序号或名称)→ 进入 Phase 2(handoff),以选中方向为目标
  2. 生成新想法 → 跳转 Phase 1B
  3. 退出

Phase 1B: 生成路径(有参数,或从 1A 跳转)

目标:针对给定方向生成新改进建议,参考 ce-ideate 的生成逻辑。

1B.1 准备 focus
  • 若从 Phase 1A 跳转(原本无参数)→ 用 AskUserQuestion 询问:「你想探索哪个方向?描述一下」
  • 若有原始 focus_argument → 直接使用
1B.2 快速仓库扫描

派发一个 haiku model 子代理(快速扫描,省 token):

读取项目的 AGENTS.md 或 CLAUDE.md,再扫描顶层目录结构(Glob pattern **/*)。返回不超过 20 行的简报:项目形态(语言/框架/目录布局)、明显痛点和杠杆点。 Focus: {focus}

1B.3 生成候选方向

基于扫描结果,针对 focus 生成 5-8 个有根据的改进方向候选,每个包含:

  • 标题(简短)
  • 1-2 句描述(说清楚做什么、为什么有价值)
  • 关键风险或依赖
1B.4 批判过滤

对候选列表批判筛选:

  • 去除重复现有功能的
  • 去除与已有 IDEAS.md 条目高度重叠的(读取 IDEAS.md 对比)
  • 去除当前阶段不现实的(依赖缺失、工作量极大且收益低)

保留 3-5 个最有价值的,按「价值 / 实现成本」排序输出。

1B.5 展示结果
针对「[focus]」的改进方向建议:

🥇 [标题]
   [描述]
   风险:[简要]

🥈 [标题]
   [描述]
   风险:[简要]

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.
