SYSTEM DOCUMENTATION & REQUIREMENTS

What problem does it solve?

It helps you avoid wasted effort by checking whether your proposed research idea or method has already been reported in recent literature.

Core Features & Use Cases

  • Extracts core claims: Identifies exactly three technical claims that should be novel for your idea to be defensible.
  • Runs targeted literature searches: Uses broad then focused web search to quickly find close prior work without excessive querying.
  • Summarizes and reports novelty: Produces a structured novelty assessment saved as novelty_check_report.md.

Quick Start

Ask the skill to run a novelty check for your method description by saying: “查新:<paste your research idea or method description here>”.

FAQPage Schema
How do I check if my research idea has already been published?

A research novelty check verifies whether your proposed method has already been reported by extracting three core technical claims and searching recent arXiv literature for close prior work. It helps you avoid wasted effort before proceeding with implementation.

How does a literature review find prior art for a new method?

A literature review for prior art finds existing publications by running broad then focused web searches against recent arXiv papers to compare key technical claims. It identifies exactly three core claims from your idea to establish whether the method is defensible.

What is the best way to validate research novelty before implementation?

The best way to validate research novelty is to extract exactly three core technical claims from your idea and run a bounded set of targeted web searches against recent literature. This produces a structured markdown summary assessing overall novelty and identifying the closest prior work.

Can I use a novelty check for academic writing on arXiv?

Yes, you can use a novelty check for academic writing by comparing your proposed research idea or method against recent arXiv literature. It extracts three core claims and runs bounded web searches to ensure your technical contributions are defensible before submission.

How do I run a novelty check using the 查新 prompt?

To run a novelty check, input your research idea or method description using the prompt format 查新 followed by your pasted text. The system will extract three core technical claims, execute targeted web searches, and write a novelty_check_report.md file with the assessment.

What are the limitations of an automated idea validation search?

An automated idea validation search is limited to recent arXiv literature and a bounded set of web searches, meaning it may not capture non-arXiv publications or paywalled journals outside its search scope. It focuses strictly on comparing three extracted core technical claims to find the closest prior work.
