idea-vault-formatter

What problem does it solve?

This Skill converts vague research ideas into a structured, Popperian falsification-ready Idea Vault, so your hypothesis development stays testable and decision-oriented rather than drifting or overconfident.

Core Features & Use Cases

• Idea Vault formatting & validation: Checks required frontmatter fields and ensures the five core analytical modules exist (Devil’s Advocate, Evaluation Matrix, Analogy Table, MVE, Kill Criteria, plus a decision log), while preserving the user’s original idea text.
• From-zero Idea Vault creation: Generates a complete Idea Vault from a one-sentence idea, including quantified thresholds grounded in physical reasoning and safety constraints against fabricated citations or unsupported numbers.
• Falsification lifecycle support: Enforces an idea lifecycle model and supports automatic status updates when falsified_by is provided.

Quick Start

Create or open an Obsidian note of type Idea Vault (or prompt: “Help me format or generate my idea-vault hypothesis from this one-sentence idea”) so the skill adds the missing falsification modules and decision artifacts without rewriting your original idea text.
