SYSTEM DOCUMENTATION & REQUIREMENTS

What problem does it solve?

Validates research concept drafts to ensure they meet structural and novelty standards before any drafting begins, preventing wasted effort on low-novelty or incomplete ideas.

Core Features & Use Cases

Structural checks: Confirms required sections in concept.md such as Background, NOVELTY STATEMENT, Research Question, Methods Overview, and KEY SELLING POINTS.
Novelty scoring: Performs three rounds of novelty scoring and enforces a minimum score of 75 across rounds with clear interpretation guidance.
Failure guidance: Provides sharp, actionable feedback plus three options on failure (proceed with risk, revise concept, or invoke CGU for idea strengthening) and integrates with downstream draft workflows.
Use Case: Run before writing an Introduction or Methods section to confirm hypothesis testability, novelty, and selling points are present and defensible.

Quick Start

Validate concept.md for completeness and three-round novelty scoring and return a pass/fail report with recommended next steps.

Frequently Asked Questions about concept-validation

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

FAQPage Schema

How do I validate a research concept before writing the manuscript draft?▼

To validate a research concept, submit your concept.md file for structural section checks and novelty scoring. This confirms hypothesis testability and ensures required sections like Background and Methods Overview are present before drafting begins.

What sections are required in a concept.md file to pass research concept validation?▼

Research concept validation requires your concept.md file to contain Background, NOVELTY STATEMENT, Research Question, Methods Overview, and KEY SELLING POINTS sections. Missing any of these structural components results in a validation failure.

How is novelty scored during the research concept validation process?▼

Novelty scoring during validation performs three independent scoring rounds and enforces a minimum threshold score of 75. Your research concept must achieve this threshold across all rounds to pass the novelty assessment.

Does concept validation work for medical reviews and case reports, or only original research?▼

Concept validation works for medical research projects including original research, reviews, case reports, meta-analyses, and technical notes. It applies structural and novelty checks to any of these concept document types.

What are my options if my research concept fails the novelty validation threshold?▼

If your research concept fails novelty validation, your options are to revise the concept, proceed accept-with-risk, or invoke CGU for idea strengthening. These actionable failure options guide your next draft workflow steps.

When should I run a novelty and structural check on my concept document?▼

You should run novelty and structural checks on your concept document before writing an Introduction or Methods section. This prevents wasted effort on low-novelty or incomplete ideas by confirming readiness early in the research process.
