What problem does it solve?
It solves the problem of turning a broad research direction into a set of validated, pilot-tested ideas with a concrete experiment plan, instead of getting stuck at vague brainstorming.
Core Features & Use Cases
- End-to-end Idea Discovery Pipeline: Runs a complete workflow that chains literature survey, idea generation, novelty verification, critical review, and method refinement into a final proposal.
- Checkpointed Validation with Pilots: Filters and ranks ideas, runs time/budget-bounded pilot experiments, then performs deeper novelty checks to eliminate already-published directions.
- Deliverables for Implementation: Produces a ranked
idea-stage/IDEA_REPORT.md plus refine-logs/FINAL_PROPOSAL.md and refine-logs/EXPERIMENT_PLAN.md for the top idea.
Quick Start
Run idea discovery for a topic by executing: use the idea-discovery skill with the research direction you want to explore, for example: /idea-discovery "chest X-ray phrase grounding with bounding boxes — semi-supervised grounded detection".
