Isn't {sidbo} the gismu for "idea"?  Though if you're using a flexible interpretation for shortness, that makes sense.  Personally, I'd go with {tersidbos.} or {pensis.} (or perhaps {pensiv.} if you like to fool around with puns) for "thinker".  Not that it matters, since you've decided on xal., but I like to ponder such things anyway.
