FAQPage Schema
How do I generate publishable research ideas from a broad research direction?

To generate publishable research ideas from a broad research direction, use scaffolded landscape analysis to map the area, identify gaps, and rank ideas by feasibility, novelty, and impact. This produces a structured report with testable pilot plans.

Can I rank research ideas by feasibility and novelty before running experiments?

Yes, you can rank research ideas by feasibility and novelty before running experiments. The skill applies automated idea generation with feasibility, novelty, and impact assessments to respect compute, data, and risk constraints during pilot planning.

What is a landscape survey in research idea generation?

A landscape survey in research idea generation maps the research area to identify gaps and surface opportunities. It organizes publishable directions by combining this landscape analysis with pilot planning to accelerate research planning.

Does idea generation integrate with literature review and novelty check workflows?

Yes, idea generation integrates with literature review and novelty check workflows. It requires integration with Phase workflows such as /research-lit, /novelty-check, /research-review, and /run-experiment to produce a ranked report and pilot plans.

What are the limitations of automated research idea generation?

Automated research idea generation is limited by compute, data, and risk constraints. It respects these boundaries during pilot planning but requires downstream validation through /run-experiment and /research-review workflows to confirm publishability.
