SYSTEM DOCUMENTATION & REQUIREMENTS

What problem does it solve?

EmpiricalWiki users need a reliable way to convert scattered papers, existing claims, and knowledge gaps into concrete, testable research ideas without repeatedly reinventing the same directions.

Core Features & Use Cases

  • Five-phase idea generation pipeline: performs landscape scanning, dual-model brainstorming, feasibility + novelty filtering, deep novelty/review validation, then writes results back to the wiki.
  • Wiki-grounded anti-repetition memory: loads prior failed ideas (banlist) and records newly failed candidates with specific failure reasons to prevent future duplication.
  • Graph-integrated outputs: creates idea pages and adds edges (idea → gap/claim and idea → paper/concept) to keep the knowledge graph queryable.
  • Use case: you start from an empirical research direction and want 3–6 high-quality ideas that explicitly target open gaps, can be completed in 3–6 months, and are ready for experiment design.

Quick Start

Run the ideate skill with your research direction to generate, validate, and write the top research ideas into the wiki.

FAQPage Schema
How do I generate testable empirical research ideas from existing literature gaps?

You can generate testable empirical research ideas by scanning a knowledge graph and external literature, applying dual-model brainstorming and feasibility filtering to target specific open gaps. This pipeline outputs 3–6 ranked ideas ready for experiment design.

What is the best way to validate research novelty and feasibility before starting a project?

Validating research novelty and feasibility involves running deep review checks against prior claims and a banlist of failed ideas. This screening process ensures new candidates are original, achievable within 3–6 months, and explicitly aligned with open knowledge gaps.

Can I prevent duplicate research ideation when scanning multiple papers?

You can prevent duplicate research ideation by loading a wiki-grounded banlist of prior failed ideas into the pipeline. This anti-repetition memory records specific failure reasons and blocks the generation of previously explored directions.

How do I write validated research ideas back into a wiki knowledge graph?

Writing validated research ideas into a wiki knowledge graph involves creating dedicated idea pages and adding relational edges connecting the ideas to relevant gaps, claims, and papers. This keeps the graph queryable for future ideation cycles.

What are the limitations of automated research idea generation pipelines?

Automated research idea generation pipelines require multi-phase execution and may allow optional validation skipping, which risks lower quality outputs. Additionally, they depend heavily on the existing wiki graph structure and may not fully replace manual expert domain review.
