What is Idea Darwin Engine (Chinese Edition)?
The Idea Darwin Engine is a structured framework designed to treat ideas as living organisms in a competitive ecosystem. By importing raw thoughts from a markdown file, the skill transforms them into structured cards that undergo continuous evolution cycles including deepening, derivation, crossover, criticism, and validation.
This engine fundamentally solves the common failure mode of brainstorming—where ideas remain in a vague, stagnant state—by forcing a survival-of-the-fittest progression. High-scoring ideas survive and evolve, while weaker concepts are flagged for user decision-making, ensuring that only the most robust and innovative concepts surface as actionable MVPs.
Idea Darwin Engine (Chinese Edition) Use Cases
- Systematizing messy brainstorming sessions from markdown notes into structured project roadmaps.
- Evaluating the feasibility and novelty of business or technical ideas using a multi-dimensional scoring system.
- Breaking creative blocks by introducing external stimuli and disruptive thinking frameworks like SCAMPER.
- Managing a large pool of competing ideas and prioritizing development based on logical integrity and growth potential.
How Idea Darwin Engine (Chinese Edition) Works
- Initialization: The system parses a local ideas.md file and creates a directory structure with configuration files and initial idea cards.
- Import & Refresh: At the start of every round, the engine checks for new entries in the source file and converts them into 'seed' state cards.
- Global Scoring: All active ideas are re-evaluated across six dimensions: Novelty, Feasibility, Value, Logic, Cross-Potential, and Verifiability.
- Budget Allocation: Processing slots are distributed among new ideas, high-priority deepening, derivations, and crossovers.
- Action Execution: The AI performs specific operations (e.g., 'Refining' or 'Crossing') based on the current state and scores of the idea.
- Validation: New outputs undergo a two-tier check for logical contradictions and practical value.
- Reporting: A detailed round report and a leaderboard are generated to update the user on the evolution progress and required decisions.
Idea Darwin Engine (Chinese Edition) Setup
To initialize the idea evolution environment, ensure you have an ideas.md file in your project directory and run:
/idea-darwin init --budget 12 --actions 2 --disruption 3
To execute an iteration round, use:
/idea-darwin round
To check the current rankings and status of your idea pool:
/idea-darwin status

ideas.md |
Read-only source of original user thoughts. |
config.yaml |
System configuration, round counters, and next ID tracking. |
stimuli.md |
User-editable list of external triggers for disruption rounds. |
cards/ |
Individual markdown files for each idea (IDEA-XXXX.md). |
rounds/ |
Historical reports of every iteration cycle. |
reports/ |
Contains the leaderboard.md and clustering analysis. |

Idea Darwin Engine (Chinese Edition) Advanced Features
- Disruption Rounds: Automatically triggered every N rounds to introduce external stimuli and force non-linear thinking.
- Darwinian Scoring Formulas: Three-tier calculation (Survival, Development, and Priority) that balances independent quality with growth potential.
- Lineage Tracking: Maintains complex parent-child relationships between ideas as they merge or split.
- User Sovereignty: The system only recommends dormancy or removal; final creative control always remains with the user.
- Customizable Stimuli: Support for user-defined external trends and counter-consensus viewpoints to challenge high-scoring ideas.
