What problem does it solve?
Long-running research quests often stall or drift when the next step is unclear. This Skill enforces a disciplined decision process so every continuation, branch, baseline reuse, or stop is backed by durable evidence rather than momentum.
Core Features & Use Cases
- Structured decision records: Captures verdict, action, reason, evidence paths, and next stage for every consequential choice using canonical actions like continue, branch, reuse_baseline, write, finalize, reset, and stop.
- Candidate selection discipline: When choosing among idea branches, experiment packages, or paper outlines, it records selection criteria, the winner, and why alternatives were rejected.
- User-gated and autonomous modes: Supports blocking decision requests when user preference matters, and autonomous routing when the runtime contract allows it.
- Use Case: After an experiment run finishes with mixed results, use this Skill to weigh the evidence, decide whether to iterate, branch, or move to writing, and durably record the decision with its justification.
Quick Start
Ask the agent to evaluate the current experiment evidence and record a decision on whether to continue, branch, or stop the research line.
