SYSTEM DOCUMENTATION & REQUIREMENTS

What problem does it solve?

This Skill automates end-to-end idea discovery, transforming a broad research direction into a validated, pilot-ready set of ideas and plans to move forward.

Core Features & Use Cases

  • Orchestrates the full workflow: literature survey, idea creation, novelty checks, critical reviews, and refinement planning.
  • Produces structured outputs such as idea-stage reports, refined proposals, and experiment roadmaps to save researchers time and reduce risk.
  • Use cases include starting from "找idea全流程" prompts or general directions to obtain a concrete, testable research plan.

Quick Start

Describe your research direction and I will run the full idea-discovery workflow to generate a ranked IDEA_REPORT and a concrete experiment plan.

FAQPage Schema
How do I automate research idea generation from a broad direction?

Idea discovery automates end-to-end research idea generation by taking a broad research direction and running literature surveys, novelty checks, and critical reviews to output a validated, pilot-ready set of ideas.

What is the best way to validate research novelty before starting experiments?

Validating research novelty is achieved by running automated novelty checks and critical reviews against existing literature, generating refined proposals and experiment plans to ensure ideas are pilot-ready.

Can I use this workflow to generate a full experiment plan from a literature survey?

Yes, the workflow orchestrates the full transition from a literature survey into a concrete experiment plan, generating structured experiment roadmaps and refined proposals to guide pilot studies.

Does the idea discovery workflow support configurable constraints for pilot limits?

Yes, the idea discovery workflow supports configurable constraints and checkpoints for pilot limits, actively tracking budgets to ensure generated experiment plans remain within defined research boundaries.

What outputs should I expect from an AI-assisted research review workflow?

Outputs from an AI-assisted research review workflow include a structured IDEA_REPORT.md, refined proposals, and concrete experiment plans, transforming initial directions into actionable research steps.
