SYSTEM DOCUMENTATION & REQUIREMENTS

💡 This Skill includes scripts (resource) components.

What problem does it solve?

This Skill addresses the challenge of setting up complex research projects, providing a structured approach to outline a research.md without executing experiments.

Core Features & Use Cases

  • Research Setup Wizard: Guided 7-step process for creating a comprehensive research.md.
  • Goal Clarification: Assists in defining specific, measurable research goals.
  • Metric Definition: Helps establish metrics for success and desired outcomes.
  • Search Space Mapping: Defines what can and cannot be changed in the research process.
  • Constraint Elicitation: Sets parameters for iterations, resources, and evaluation.
  • Evaluator Design: Automates or outlines the design of evaluators for experiments.
  • Baseline Measurement: Ensures an initial benchmark for comparison.
  • research.md Generation: Outputs a ready-to-use research document.

Quick Start

To begin, run the /autoresearch:plan command to start the research setup wizard.

High-intent search queries and answers about installing and using this skill.

FAQPage Schema
How do I create a research project outline without running experiments?

To create a research project outline without running experiments, use a structured 7-step planning wizard to define goals, metrics, and constraints, generating a ready-to-use research.md document.

How do I define metrics and search space constraints for research planning?

Define metrics and search space constraints for research planning by using a guided framework to establish success measurements, map changeable variables, and set parameters for resource evaluation.

What is the best way to set up a research document for a new project?

The best way to set up a research document for a new project is using a structured wizard that elicits goals, baselines, and evaluator designs to output a comprehensive research.md file.

Can I use this to design evaluators and baselines for my research setup?

Yes, you can use this research setup framework to outline the design of automated evaluators for experiments and ensure an initial baseline measurement is recorded for comparison.

Does this research planning wizard execute experiments or just generate documents?

This research planning wizard only generates a research.md document and outlines the project framework; it does not execute experiments or perform actual research tasks.

When do I need a structured framework for research project setup?

You need a structured framework for research project setup when tackling complex projects that require clear goal clarification, constraint elicitation, and baseline measurement before execution.
