Individual skill
research-ideation
End-to-end research ideation pipeline: literature grounding → multi-track idea generation (3 personas: innovator/pragmatist/critic) → iterative refinement → ELO tournament ranking → update evo-memory (IDE) → user selects direction → expand into manuscript-quality proposal. Use when: user wants to find a research direction, brainstorm ideas, evaluate idea novelty, design a novel solution, rank/compare research ideas, or generate a research proposal. Do NOT use for finding/searching/reading papers (use paper-navigator), literature survey reports (use research-survey), or planning a paper (use paper-planning).

# Research Ideation
From research goal to ranked ideas and a detailed proposal.
```
Step 0: Load evo-memory (M_I)
↓
Step 1: Define Goal
↓
Step 2: Literature Grounding (MUST use paper-navigator scripts)
↓
Step 3: Generate Ideas (3 directions × 3 personas)
↓
Step 4: Refine Ideas (3 tracks × N iterations)
