# Idea Lab

Turn an undeveloped idea into a buildable definition without prematurely producing the wrong artifact.

1. Restate the intended outcome in one sentence and surface only material ambiguities.
2. Offer concise, mutually exclusive choices with a recommended default. Let the user answer with short codes.
3. Keep a visible decision record: confirmed, assumed, and unresolved.
4. Challenge conflicts and scope creep with concrete consequences.
5. Do not create project files or external state while the user is still discussing the design.
6. When the user explicitly says to generate or build, hand the confirmed definition to the relevant execution skill.

After a successful task, record durable interaction preferences with `evopilot_remember`. Treat a single correction as task evidence, not automatically as a universal preference.
