SYSTEM DOCUMENTATION & REQUIREMENTS

What problem does it solve?

Orchestrates an end-to-end idea discovery process that moves from a fuzzy topic to a validated, pilot-tested set of ideas, reducing time to actionable proposals.

Core Features & Use Cases

  • Orchestrates literature survey, idea generation, novelty checks, critical review, and refinement in a single workflow.
  • Produces outputs such as IDEA_REPORT.md and refine-logs for traceability and future audits.
  • Use Case: A researcher with an ambiguous topic arrives at a ranked set of concrete ideas and a concrete experiment plan ready for validation.

Quick Start

Describe your topic and let the workflow generate an end-to-end idea discovery plan.

FAQPage Schema
How do I automate literature review and idea generation for early-stage research?

An end-to-end idea discovery pipeline automates literature review and idea generation by orchestrating survey, novelty checks, and critical review. It transforms a fuzzy topic into a structured IDEA_REPORT.md containing validated, pilot-tested concepts.

What is the best way to turn a fuzzy research topic into a validated experiment plan?

The best way to turn a fuzzy topic into a validated experiment plan is using a structured multi-phase research pipeline. It guides discovery, evaluation, and experimentation, ultimately producing a ranked set of concrete ideas and a concrete pilot planning blueprint.

Can I use a research pipeline to generate ideas without providing reference papers?

Yes, the idea discovery pipeline supports idea generation without reference papers. It accepts optional reference documents and can guide discovery, evaluation, and experimentation directly from an ambiguous topic description to produce validated proposals.

Does the idea discovery workflow provide traceable logs for research audits?

Yes, the idea discovery workflow provides traceable logs for research audits. It enforces a structured multi-phase workflow that outputs refine-logs and an IDEA_REPORT.md, ensuring full traceability and documentation for future proposal reviews.

How do I run a novelty check and critical review on newly generated research ideas?

To run a novelty check and critical review on generated research ideas, orchestrate an idea discovery pipeline. It interfaces with sub-skills for novelty checking and critical review, systematically refining concepts before outputting a final IDEA_REPORT.md.

When should I not use an automated research pipeline for idea discovery?

You should not use an automated research pipeline for idea discovery if your project requires non-structured, freeform ideation outside a multi-phase workflow. The pipeline enforces a structured progression from literature review to pilot planning, which may constrain purely exploratory brainstorming.
