SYSTEM DOCUMENTATION & REQUIREMENTS

💡 This Skill requires docx, and includes scripts (resource) and references (resource) components.

What problem does it solve?

Turn a research gap into a go/no-go dossier that documents the open gap, the expected contribution, and feasibility, enabling a transparent, auditable decision for thesis topics.

Core Features & Use Cases

  • Automatically structure a 3-gate verdict dossier for a single or multiple candidate topics.
  • Generate machine-readable companions (.bib, .gaps.yml) and human-facing summaries for verification.
  • Integrate with adversarial search and prior-art triage to ground decisions in evidence.

Quick Start

Run the gap-to-topic workflow to generate a topic dossier for a candidate research gap.

FAQPage Schema
How do I structure a go/no-go dossier for a candidate research topic?▼

A go/no-go dossier for a candidate topic summarizes open gaps, expected contributions, and feasibility. This structured approach creates a transparent, auditable decision document for vetting theses or research ideas.

What is the best way to evaluate research gaps before selecting a thesis?▼

Evaluating research gaps before thesis selection involves applying a 3-gate verdict dossier. This orchestrates evidence gathering, prior-art screening, and feasibility assessment to ground topic decisions in verified literature.

How does adversarial search work for prior-art screening of research ideas?▼

Adversarial search for prior-art screening systematically challenges a candidate topic against existing literature to identify open gaps. This evidence-based triage matrix prevents duplicative research and validates expected contributions.

Can I generate a BibTeX file and gap summary directly from my topic evaluation?▼

Yes, generating a BibTeX file and gap summary directly from topic evaluation is possible. The process produces machine-readable companions like a .bib file for references and a .gaps.yml file for structured gap documentation.

Do I need docx support to generate a topic dossier?▼

Yes, docx support is required to generate the topic dossier. The workflow relies on the docx dependency to produce human-facing summaries and structured markdown documents for go/no-go decisions.
