What problem does it solve? Researchers often struggle to judge whether an unformed idea is worth months of investment, risking either killing promising directions or wasting effort on doomed ones. This Skill provides a structured, reviewer-and-advisor-style assessment that delivers a clear verdict before significant work begins. ## Core Features & Use Cases - Fatal Flaw Detection: Screens ideas against ten common rejection-causing flaws (no novelty, wrong venue, weak baselines, infeasibility) before any detailed scoring. - Five-Dimension Scoring: Rates ideas on accuracy, speed, robustness, cost, and breadth with mechanism-based justification, adapting frameworks for STEM, humanities, social science, finance, and law paradigms. - Real Novelty Checking: Uses scholar_search to retrieve and compare against the closest existing work instead of relying on memory. - Use Case: A graduate student asks "Is my idea of applying retrieval-augmented generation to legal case analysis worth pursuing?" The Skill searches related literature, scores the idea across dimensions, checks resource fit, and concludes with "worth doing", "revise first", or "change direction" plus the three most urgent next steps. ## Quick Start Ask the assistant to evaluate whether your research idea is novel, feasible, and worth pursuing, describing the problem, proposed method, and your available resources.
