Read skills/idea-engine/SKILL.md and execute the full 6-phase idea evaluation pipeline.

The user provides a research idea, topic, or question. Run the complete evaluation: Phase 1 (SEED) → Phase 2 (DIVERGE) → Phase 3 (EVALUATE) → Phase 4 (DEEPEN) → Phase 5 (FRAME) → Phase 6 (DECIDE).

Save the evaluation to research-evaluations/YYYY-MM-DD-<topic-slug>.md.

If the verdict is PURSUE and the user wants to proceed, hand off to the paper machine pipeline (Phase 1: Reconnaissance).
