What problem does it solve?
It reduces the time and uncertainty of finding genuinely novel, feasible research directions by turning messy open problems into well-scoped, wiki-grounded idea candidates.
Core Features & Use Cases
- Landscape-to-idea pipeline: scans the research landscape using the wiki knowledge base plus external search, then produces idea candidates through a multi-phase workflow.
- Dual-model brainstorm + structured paths: generates ideas using independent models and forces each idea to follow explicit generation paths (landscape-driven, incremental fixes, combinations, assumption breaks, or cross-domain transfer).
- Filter, validate, and write back to your wiki: applies feasibility and novelty screening (including deep novelty/review calls unless skipped) and writes proposed and eliminated ideas into the wiki with failure reasons to prevent repetition.
- Optional pilot experiments: runs lightweight pilot experiments for surviving ideas and updates idea pages with pass/fail outcomes.
Quick Start
Run the ideation pipeline for a topic by calling the skill with your research direction and desired number of ideas, for example: "Skill: ideate Args: 'machine learning for scientific discovery --max-ideas 3 --auto'".
