What problem does it solve?
It helps researchers convert a research idea and supporting context into a structured grant proposal aligned to the expectations of specific funding agencies, reducing the time and uncertainty of starting from scratch.
Core Features & Use Cases
- Agency-specific proposal formatting: Generates proposals for major programs (e.g., KAKENHI, NSF, NSFC, ERC, DFG) with the right section logic and review criteria.
- Gap and positioning grounding: Performs literature/landscape positioning and builds a clear gap statement before writing.
- Checkpointed drafting workflow: Guides you through phases with explicit user confirmation gates to keep PI judgment in control.
- Structured outputs and state persistence: Writes progress to grant-proposal/GRANT_STATE.json so long runs can be resumed after interruption.
Quick Start
Use the grant-proposal skill to draft a KAKENHI application from your idea report by running: /grant-proposal "your research direction — KAKENHI Start-up"
