Judgement
Clear triggering and precise routing (ce-pov, non-software). Very heavy process and largely generic, with many references to missing files. Real value mainly in the artifact contract and the tiers.
reservations
- Only 4 of 25 appendices are provided, and each is truncated: phase-0.md, interaction-rules.md, settled-decisions.md, synthesis-summary.md and the others are cited but missing, so they cannot be assessed.
- The skill depends on an ecosystem not provided (ce-plan, lfg, ce-pov, ce-prototype, subagents): hard to use on its own.
- Very long, multi-tier process, out of proportion for most requests; part of it is a generic brainstorming procedure.
- The outputs (dated paths, return fields, markdown or HTML modes) add complexity; the HTML part is not provided.

Alerts

Execution
- high risk
It runs a Python resolution script and dispatches subagents that read the repository extensively (about 20 reads); watch out in an unknown repository.
Instruction
- medium risk
The skill reads the packs declared in the repository configuration and injects them as framing constraints: an untrusted repository can slip instructions into them, even though the skill states these are evidence, not orders.
Static scan
- info risk
bundled scripts, not run by the SKILL.md
scripts/elevation-dispatch.sh, scripts/light-webserver.js, scripts/packs-resolve.py, scripts/peer-job-runner.py
Original description
Explore vague or ambitious ideas into a right-sized requirements-only unified plan. Use when the user wants to brainstorm or scope what to build. Not for executing already-specified work. Use ce-pov for a verdict on adopting a named external technology.
