Generate Improvement Ideas Note: The current year is 2026. Use this when dating ideation documents and checking recent ideation artifacts. ce-ideate precedes ce-brainstorm. ce-ideate answers: "What are the strongest ideas worth exploring?" ce-brainstorm answers: "What exactly should one chosen idea mean?" and writes a requirements-only unified plan under /plans/. ce-plan answers: "How should it be built?" This workflow produces a ranked ideation artifact — written to /ideation/ when present, else a CE temp path (see Phase 4). It does not produce requirements, plans, or code. Interaction Method Use the platform's blocking question tool: AskUserQuestion in Claude Code (call ToolSearch with select:AskUserQuestion first if its schema isn't loaded), requestuserinput in Codex, askquestion in Antigravity CLI (agy), askuser in Pi (requires the pi-ask-user extension).
