System Documentation
What problem does it solve?
The skill helps researchers convert vague research ideas into structured, falsifiable hypotheses with explicit success and failure criteria, null hypotheses, and clear fallback strategies.
Core Features & Use Cases
- Hypothesis construction: primary H1, secondary H2/H3, null H0, and a falsifiability check with concrete evaluation plans.
- Success/failure criteria: quantitative thresholds, significance levels, and ambiguous-zone handling.
- Competing explanations and risk assessment: document alternatives, fallback plans, and resource estimates.
- Outputs and integration: generates docs at $PROJECT_DIR/docs/hypotheses.md and $PROJECT_DIR/docs/ranked-hypotheses.md for prioritization.
- Workflow integration: compatible with standalone ideation or post-novelty assessment step in the research pipeline.
Quick Start
Provide your research idea in free text and the skill will generate structured hypotheses, success criteria, and fallbacks.
