SYSTEM DOCUMENTATION & REQUIREMENTS

What problem does it solve?

It solves the problem of turning a broad research direction into validated, pilot-tested research ideas with a clear experiment plan and reduced risk of reinventing existing work.

Core Features & Use Cases

  • Full idea discovery pipeline: Orchestrates literature survey, idea generation, novelty verification, external critical review, and method refinement into a final report.
  • Checkpointed, user-in-the-loop control: Stops at defined phases to confirm scope and choose which ideas to advance, with an auto-proceed option.
  • Novelty and feasibility validation: Runs multi-source novelty checks and pilot experiments to rank ideas by empirical signal rather than intuition.
  • Use case: When you need a complete workflow from “I have a direction” to “I have a top idea, ranked alternatives, and an experiment roadmap.”

Quick Start

Use idea-discovery to run the complete pipeline for your research direction by saying: /idea-discovery "your research direction".

FAQPage Schema
How do I turn a broad research direction into a validated experiment plan?

To turn a broad research direction into a validated experiment plan, you can run an end-to-end pipeline that orchestrates literature survey, idea generation, novelty checking, and pilot experiments. This workflow outputs a ranked list of ideas with a refined, implementable plan.

What is the best way to check research novelty before running experiments?

Checking research novelty before running experiments requires multi-source novelty verification against existing literature. This process eliminates duplicated concepts early and ranks surviving ideas by empirical signal rather than intuition to ensure originality.

How do I design pilot experiments with strict time and GPU budgets?

Designing pilot experiments with strict time and GPU budgets involves applying safety guardrails during idea validation. The pipeline uses pilot budgeting constraints to rank ideas by empirical signal while preventing excessive resource consumption.

Can I automate research planning while keeping user control over idea selection?

Yes, you can automate research planning while retaining control through checkpointed, user-in-the-loop decisions. The pipeline stops at defined phases to confirm scope and choose which ideas to advance, with an auto-proceed option for full automation.

What is external critical review in the context of research idea discovery?

External critical review in research idea discovery is a validation phase that evaluates generated ideas after novelty checking. It applies critical scrutiny to refine methods and ensure the final experiment plan is robust and implementable.

Does idea discovery work for end-to-end research planning from scratch?

Yes, idea discovery works for end-to-end research planning from a broad direction to a final report. It executes chained sub-skills for literature review, idea generation, and method refinement to produce a top idea, ranked alternatives, and an experiment roadmap.
