idea-darwin
Darwinian idea evolution engine — toss rough ideas onto an evolution island, let them compete, crossbreed, and mutate through structured rounds to surface your strongest concepts.
Why this skill is useful
Provides a structured framework for idea evaluation and iteration that the AI wouldn't reliably generate on its own.

What this skill does
Idea Darwin Engine A round-based idea iteration system that treats ideas as competing organisms — scoring, selecting, crossing, and evolving them through structured rounds to surface the strongest concepts. Overview Most idea management tools are filing cabinets: they store ideas, tag them, and let them rot. Idea Darwin flips the paradigm — instead of organizing ideas, it lets them compete. Every idea is a living species on an evolution island. Each round, the fittest get deepened, different ideas cross-pollinate to produce unexpected hybrids, and external stimuli trigger mutations. When to Use This Skill Use when you have many scattered ideas and need to systematically evaluate and develop them Use when you want to discover unexpected connections between ideas from different domains Use when you need structured iteration rather than one-shot brainstorming Use when you want a scoring framework to prioritize which ideas deserve more investment Core Concepts Evolution Island Metaphor Your ideas are alive on this island. Like organisms, they follow three core laws: 1. Evolution — Each round, the system deepens the most viable ideas through structured research: filling logical gaps, clarifying paths, identifying risks. 2. Crossbreeding — The system cross-pollinates different ideas. A technical approach from work meets an observation from daily life, producing directions you never imagined. 3. Mutation — External stimuli (industry news, theories, conversations) trigger mutations, spawning entirely new species. Species Cards Every idea gets a structured card recording: core question, full description, lineage (parent/child IDs), 6-dimensional scores, and change history. …
