Ideation Catalog#

The ideation catalog is a curated subset of the text problem kind. It packages four linked tables for prompt-based human-subjects research:

  • canonical prompt records,

  • source-specific prompt variants,

  • prompt families and lineage notes, and

  • study summaries for reusable ASME-style protocols.

Use get_ideation_catalog() to inspect the machine-readable catalog, search prompts, and export JSON, CSV, or optional pandas DataFrames.

ideation is a catalog tag and study-selection concept, not a sixth ProblemKind. Ideation entries keep the value text in both downstream compatibility paths: the ProblemBinding.family/ProblemPacket.family path exported as problem_family, and the parallel problem_kind metadata alias.

Evidence Tiers#

  • primary_verbatim: directly stated in accessible source text.

  • primary_reconstructed: reconstructed from primary source descriptions.

  • secondary_canonical: reusable one-line brief from a synthesis source.

The current ideation corpus includes:

  • 126 prompt records with usable packaged text,

  • 128 source-specific or derivative variants,

  • 103 prompt families, all of which now point to at least one packaged prompt,

  • 6 study summaries, and

  • no stub-only family records.
