Agent skill

idea-shortlist-curator

Converge the screened direction pool into a small, discussion-ready shortlist, writing `output/trace/IDEA_SHORTLIST.md`. **Trigger**: idea shortlist, shortlist directions, brainstorm shortlist, 方向 shortlist. **Use when**: you already have a direction pool and screening table and want the strongest 3-5 directions for the final memo. **Skip if**: you need more direction generation first. **Network**: none. **Guardrail**: no invented papers; keep the shortlist discussion-ready rather than execution-spec heavy.

Idea Shortlist Curator

Load Order

Always read:

  • references/overview.md

Read by task:

  • references/ranking_rubric.md when customizing risk notes or deferral reasons
  • assets/rationale_templates.json when changing deterministic shortlist rationale wording or rule order

Script Boundary

Use scripts/run.py only for:

  • diversity-aware greedy selection from screened rows
  • deterministic ranking record assembly and JSONL/Markdown output

Do not treat run.py as the place for:

  • domain-specific risk narratives that should be inspectable from references
  • reader-facing prose templates for the final memo (those belong in idea-memo-writer)

Goal: turn a direction pool into a small shortlist that is:

  • explicitly ranked with a real why-#1>#2>#3 argument,
  • diverse in program shape rather than just cluster labels,
  • specific about why deferred directions are not in the lead set,

and remains:

  • academically interesting,
  • distinct enough to compare,
  • grounded enough to discuss,
  • and not yet overfrozen into project plans.
