SYSTEM DOCUMENTATION & REQUIREMENTS

💡 This Skill includes references (resource) components.

What problem does it solve?

Turn baselines and problem frames into concrete, literature-grounded, testable directions by generating a compact frontier of candidate ideas and the supporting rationale.

Core Features & Use Cases

  • Converts baseline analysis into a bounded slate of 2-3 actionable ideas with explicit trade-offs.
  • Performs memory and literature sweeps to ensure a durable, auditable rationale and to surface relevant references.
  • Seeds a minimal outline or plan (e.g., research questions, experimental designs) to accelerate handoff to the next stage.

Quick Start

Identify baseline and problem frame, then generate a 2-3 idea frontier with rationale.

FAQPage Schema
How do I generate concrete research directions from a baseline?

You can generate research directions by providing your current baseline artifacts and problem frame to produce a bounded slate of 2-3 actionable ideas with explicit trade-offs and literature grounding.

What is the best way to turn a literature survey into a testable research outline?

Performing memory and literature sweeps surfaces relevant references to justify your rationale, then seeds a minimal outline of research questions and experimental designs to accelerate handoff.

How many research ideas should an ideation phase produce for a viable frontier?

The ideation phase should produce a bounded slate of 2-3 actionable research directions, ensuring each candidate idea includes explicit trade-offs, literature grounding, and a seed outline.

Do I need existing baseline artifacts to start structuring research ideas?

Yes, structuring research ideas requires access to current baseline artifacts and problem frames to perform memory sweeps and generate a durable, auditable rationale for the candidate directions.

Can I use memory references to justify research direction trade-offs?

Yes, performing memory and literature sweeps ensures a durable, auditable rationale for the generated idea slate, explicitly grounding the trade-offs of each research direction in existing references.
