idea-validatorlisted

DEPRECATED — this skill was superseded by `hemlock` on 2026-07-04 because the two were competing for the same triggers ("should I build X", "validate this idea", "is this worth building"). Do NOT trigger this skill. If you see this description matching a user request, use `hemlock` instead — it now covers everything that lived here: the incumbent-first gate, the risk ÷ cost-to-test assumption ranking, the real-vs-differentiated split (real-but-commodity is a NO), pre-registered kill criteria, the GO / NO-GO / CONDITIONAL-GO verdict with scorecard, the anti-pattern taxes, the honesty rules, and the worked examples (moved to hemlock/references/) — plus a bundled linter that mechanically enforces the honesty rules this skill only stated. This tombstone exists to preserve graph integrity; treat it as a no-op redirect.

# Idea Validator — DEPRECATED This skill was **superseded by `hemlock`** on 2026-07-04. hemlock covers everything that lived here — the incumbent gate, the ranked assumptions, the pre-registered kill bar, the verdict + scorecard, the taxes, the honesty rules, and the worked examples (now at `hemlock/references/worked-examples.md`) — and adds the mechanical linter this skill lacked. **If you reached this file: use `hemlock` instead.** **Next steps:** Route to `hemlock`.
