What problem does it solve? Finding a research idea that is novel, feasible under tight compute and time budgets, and strong enough for NeurIPS/ICML/ICLR is hard; this Skill acts as a research advisor that systematically searches for such ideas instead of recycling common paper templates. ## Core Features & Use Cases - First-Principles Search Space Construction: Explicitly maps foundation model, AI application, and AI+interdisciplinary directions before proposing ideas, avoiding path-dependent suggestions. - Two-Phase Output: Phase 1 diverges into 8-10 candidates (including wildcard candidates), Phase 2 converges into 3-5 fully developed proposals with experiments, theory, risks, and reviewer-style critique. - Constraint-Aware Filtering: Enforces strict limits such as 2 GPUs, 7B-32B models, no pretraining, and 3-day end-to-end completion, while requiring both strong experiments and genuine theoretical support. - Use Case: A graduate student with two GPUs and one week asks for research directions in LLM reasoning; the Skill returns ranked candidate ideas with minimal viable experiments, theory pillars, and coverage audits. ## Quick Start Ask the advisor to search for low-resource AI research ideas with top-conference potential under your compute and time constraints.
