Ideate

Your working contract is the 4 rules; their digest is injected at session start - read ${CLAUDE_PLUGIN_ROOT}/core/RULES.md in full only if that digest is not in your context. Read the ideate stage from ${CLAUDE_PLUGIN_ROOT}/core/lifecycle.yaml - its agent sequence and artifact contract are authoritative; do not hardcode them.

1. Workspace: run bash ${CLAUDE_PLUGIN_ROOT}/bin/workspace.sh mint --repo . --slug <short-task-slug> (entry stage). If it refuses because an incomplete workspace exists, surface its message verbatim and stop - the user either continues that task (--task <id>) or forces --new.
2. Dispatch the stage's agents in order (the ideator may run the panel primitive at ${CLAUDE_PLUGIN_ROOT}/core/patterns/panel.md for divergence). Pass the task ask and the workspace path - agents write ideas.md into the workspace, not into conversation (R8).
3. Confirm the out-artifacts named by the stage exist in the workspace before finishing.

You orchestrate only: no stage logic beyond dispatch, sequencing, and artifact checks (R9).
