gitadmin c92ee69440 refactor: extract tmux-launch-agent from implement-issue/setup-skills, overhaul PKM skills
- New common/misc/tmux-launch-agent skill with detect-agent script
  and agents-seed.md (moved from engineering/setup-skills)
- implement-issue simplified: delegates agent dispatch to
  tmux-launch-agent instead of inlining it
- setup-skills stripped of Section E (agent CLI config)
- New in-progress/agent-handoff skill using tmux-launch-agent
- PKM skills simplified: conversation-summary and pkm-curation
  rewritten with leaner process, crit streamlined
- knowledge-gardener removed (moved to common/in-progress/)
- All READMEs updated to match

crit brainstorm with AI using the CRIT framework to generate and evaluate ideas. true

Purpose

This skill implements the CRIT (Context-Request-Ideation-Tone) framework for structured brainstorming and idea evaluation.

Core Workflow

Step 1: Context Analysis

Before generating ideas, establish the foundation:

  1. Identify the Core Domain

    • What field, industry, or subject area?
    • What are the key constraints (time, resources, technical limitations)?
    • Who is the target audience and their expertise level?
  2. Assess Current State

    • What problems or opportunities exist?
    • What has been tried before (if applicable)?
    • What resources are available?

Completion Criterion: Domain, constraints, and current state captured in a compact summary (3-5 sentences).

Step 2: Request Clarification

Structure the brainstorming request:

  1. Define the Specific Goal

    • What concrete outcome do you want?
    • What success criteria will be used?
    • What is the expected timeline?
  2. Gather Input Requirements

    • What information is needed to proceed?
    • What assumptions should be validated?
    • What data or resources are required?

Completion Criterion: Goal and input requirements captured as 1-3 concrete statements, each with a checkable success criterion.

Step 3: Ideation

Generate diverse, high-quality ideas:

  1. Divergent Thinking Phase

    • Generate 5-10 initial concepts without judgment
    • Apply different perspectives (technical, business, user experience)
    • Include both obvious and unconventional options
  2. Convergent Analysis Phase

    • Evaluate each idea against success criteria
    • Score ideas on feasibility, impact, and alignment
    • Identify patterns and synergies between ideas

Completion Criterion: Minimum 5 distinct ideas generated and evaluated with scores.

Step 4: Iterative Refinement

Improve selected ideas:

  1. Select Top Candidates

    • Choose 2-3 ideas with highest potential
    • Detail implementation approach for each
    • Identify risks and mitigation strategies
  2. Develop Action Plans

    • Break down into concrete steps
    • Assign priorities and dependencies
    • Define success metrics and checkpoints

Completion Criterion: 2-3 refined ideas with detailed action plans.

Step 5: Tone & Delivery

Adapt communication to the audience:

  1. Choose Appropriate Role

    • Subject Matter Expert for technical depth
    • Consultant for strategic guidance
    • Teacher for complex concepts
    • Collaborator for co-creation
    • Analyst for multi-perspective evaluation
  2. Structure Response

    • Lead with clear, actionable solutions
    • Organize information logically and concisely
    • Include examples or analogies for clarity
    • Suggest next steps and follow-up questions

Completion Criterion: Response delivered in chosen role with sections clearly labeled (Context, Request, Ideation, Refinement, Next Steps).
