SYSTEM DOCUMENTATION & REQUIREMENTS

What problem does it solve?

Orchestrates a complete idea discovery workflow that takes a broad research direction and produces validated ideas, pilot plans, and structured reports.

Core Features & Use Cases

  • Literature survey: maps the research landscape using sub-skills like /research-lit to identify gaps and opportunities.
  • Idea generation & filtering: brainstorms multiple ideas and ranks them by feasibility and novelty.
  • Novelty verification and critique: performs deep novelty checks and external reviews to guard against duplication.
  • Experiment planning: converts top ideas into concrete proposals and experiment roadmaps with guardrails.
  • Output artifacts: produces IDEA_REPORT.md and refine-logs for reproducibility.

Quick Start

Run /idea-discovery with a topic to begin the complete idea discovery workflow.

FAQPage Schema
How do I automate the research idea discovery pipeline from a broad topic?

The research pipeline automates idea discovery by coordinating literature surveys, idea generation, and novelty checks to transform broad topics into validated pilot plans and structured reports.

What is the end-to-end process for validating research novelty and avoiding duplication?

Novelty validation involves performing deep literature surveys to identify gaps, brainstorming multiple ideas, and executing structured novelty checks and external reviews to guard against duplication.

Can I configure budget limits and auto-proceed settings for experimental planning workflows?

Yes, the pipeline orchestration supports configurable budgets and an AUTO_PROCEED setting to seamlessly automate the transition from idea generation to experiment planning and structured review.

How do I generate a structured pilot plan and experiment roadmap from a research direction?

You can generate a pilot plan by running the complete workflow, which converts top-ranked ideas into concrete proposals and experiment roadmaps with guardrails, documented in IDEA_REPORT.md.

What are the limitations of using an automated research pipeline for literature surveys?

While the pipeline orchestrates literature surveys and novelty checks, its effectiveness depends on the initial topic scope and may require manual review of the generated refine-logs to ensure research validity.
