+## v1
+
+**Why this iteration:** New rule, no prior source. Companion to `design_leads_with_recommendation` but scoped to ideation (concept generation) rather than design (architecture selection).

+# Ideation sessions lead with a recommended concept + the reasoning, not 3 unranked options
+
+## What it says
+
+When an agent helps the user ideate new concepts, tools, or UX, the output MUST lead with a single recommended concept and the reasoning for why it is the best fit. The agent MAY present 2-3 alternatives after the recommendation, but the recommendation comes first with the reasoning.
+
+## Why
+
+"Here are 3 options, pick one" offloads the synthesis to the user. The user asked for ideation help, not a multiple-choice quiz. The agent has the context; the agent should make the call. The user can reject the recommendation, but starting from a recommendation is faster than starting from a blank list.
