What problem does it solve?
Turning a vague research direction into both a focused method proposal and a detailed experiment roadmap normally requires running two separate workflows and manually keeping them consistent. This Skill chains the aris-research-refine and aris-experiment-plan stages so the final proposal, review history, and validation plan stay aligned in one pass.
Core Features & Use Cases
- End-to-End Pipeline: Runs method refinement first, then generates a claim-driven experiment plan grounded in the refined proposal.
- Planning Gate: Enforces an explicit checkpoint that verifies the method thesis, dominant contribution, and rejected complexity before any experiments are planned.
- Structured Deliverables: Produces FINAL_PROPOSAL.md, REVIEW_SUMMARY.md, REFINEMENT_REPORT.md, EXPERIMENT_PLAN.md, EXPERIMENT_TRACKER.md, and PIPELINE_SUMMARY.md under refine-logs/.
- Use Case: A researcher with only a rough idea for a paper asks to do everything end-to-end, and receives a stabilized method thesis plus a prioritized experiment roadmap with run order, budget, and decision gates.
Quick Start
Ask the assistant to run the aris-research-refine-pipeline on your rough research idea to produce a refined proposal and experiment plan together.
