What problem does it solve? Turning a mechanistic interpretability research direction into a concrete, verifiable claim with a refined proposal and experiment plan requires coordinating literature surveys, idea generation, novelty checks, and refinement — this Skill automates that entire claim-stage workflow. ## Core Features & Use Cases - Three behavior modes: given (faithfully capture claims from task.md), given-validation (capture plus an M0 phenomenon-validation gate), and discovery (mine a new behavior and run full ideation with novelty and impact checks). - Two mechanism modes: discovery (system routes the mechanism family via /mechanism-explore) or given (user-named method committed directly as CHOSEN_FAMILY). - Structured outputs: Always emits idea-stage/IDEA_REPORT.md plus refine-logs/FINAL_PROPOSAL.md and refine-logs/EXPERIMENT_PLAN.md, with resume support and optional compact summaries. - Use Case: A researcher writes a task.md describing a known LLM behavior and a target mechanism method, then runs the pipeline to reproduce the claim stage and receive a strict-fidelity experiment plan ready for the experiment stage. ## Quick Start Run the auto-claim skill with your research direction or a task.md file, for example by asking to reproduce the claims in task.md with behavior-source given and mechanism given.
