SYSTEM DOCUMENTATION & REQUIREMENTS

What problem does it solve?

This Skill orchestrates a complete idea discovery workflow for research projects, turning scattered literature into validated, pilot-tested ideas and concrete proposals.

Core Features & Use Cases

  • Orchestrates sub-skills: literature survey, idea creation, novelty check, critical review, and refinement into a coherent IDEA_REPORT.
  • Generates structured artifacts: IDEA_REPORT.md, refine-logs/FINAL_PROPOSAL.md, refine-logs/EXPERIMENT_PLAN.md, and optionally IDEA_CANDIDATES.md when compact mode is enabled.
  • Supports configurable defaults (pilot limits, budgets, auto-proceed) and context-rich prompts for robust evaluation and traceability.
  • Ideal for researchers seeking an end-to-end pipeline from research direction to experimental planning and reporting.

Quick Start

Provide a research direction to launch the end-to-end idea discovery workflow.

FAQPage Schema
What is an end-to-end idea discovery workflow for research?

An end-to-end idea discovery workflow automates the process from literature survey to concrete experiment planning. It orchestrates idea generation, novelty verification, and critical review to deliver validated research proposals and a finalized IDEA_REPORT.

How do I automate idea generation and novelty verification for a research project?

You can automate idea generation and novelty verification by providing a research direction to launch the modular workflow. The system applies configurable constraints and defaults for pilot limits to systematically evaluate and refine research candidates.

Can I generate a concrete experiment plan directly from a literature survey?

Yes, you can generate a concrete experiment plan from a literature survey. The workflow outputs structured artifacts including refine-logs/EXPERIMENT_PLAN.md, moving systematically from initial literature review to finalized experimental planning.

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

Yes, the idea discovery workflow supports configurable constraints including defaults for pilot limits, budgets, and auto-proceed settings. These configurable parameters ensure robust evaluation and traceability throughout the research pipeline.

What artifacts and reports are generated by the research idea discovery pipeline?

The research idea discovery pipeline generates structured artifacts including IDEA_REPORT.md, refine-logs/FINAL_PROPOSAL.md, and refine-logs/EXPERIMENT_PLAN.md. IDEA_CANDIDATES.md is optionally generated when compact mode is enabled.

When should I use an automated research workflow over manual critical review?

Use an automated research workflow when moving from a broad research direction to structured experimental planning requires systematic novelty checks and critical refinement. It delivers traceable IDEA_REPORTs that manual scattered literature processing cannot efficiently produce.
