New issue-intelligence-analyst agent that fetches GitHub issues via
gh CLI, clusters by root-cause themes, and returns structured analysis
with trend direction, confidence scores, and source mix. Designed for
both ce:ideate integration and standalone use.
Agent design:
- Priority-aware fetching with label scanning for focus targeting
- Truncated bodies (500 chars) in initial fetch to avoid N+1 calls
- Single gh call per fetch, no pipes or scripts (avoids permission spam)
- Built-in --jq for all field extraction and filtering
- Mandatory structured output with self-check checklist
- Accurate counts from actual data, not assumptions
- Closed issues as recurrence signal only, not standalone evidence
ce:ideate gains:
- Issue-tracker intent detection in Phase 0.2
- Conditional agent dispatch in Phase 1 (parallel with existing scans)
- Dynamic frame derivation from issue clusters in Phase 2
- Hybrid strategy: cluster-derived frames + default padding when < 4
- Resume awareness distinguishing issue vs non-issue ideation
- Numbered table format for rejection summary in ideation artifacts
Reduce per-agent idea target from 10 to 7-8 based on real usage data
showing ideas 8-11 were speculative tail that rarely survived filtering.
This keeps the unique candidate pool manageable (~20-30 after dedup)
while preserving frame diversity across 4-6 agents. Also add scannable
overview line before detail blocks in Phase 4, and clarify foreground
dispatch and native tool usage in Phase 1.
- Clarify sub-agent volume: each agent targets ~10 ideas (40-60 raw, ~30-50 after dedupe)
- Reframe ideation lenses as starting biases, not constraints, to encourage cross-cutting ideas
- Add orchestrator synthesis step between merge/dedupe and critique
- Improve skill description with specific trigger phrases for better auto-discovery
- Update argument-hint to be user-facing ("feature, focus area, or constraint")
- Position ideate as optional entry point in workflow diagram, not part of core loop
- Update plugin metadata and README with new skill counts and descriptions
