What problem does it solve? Researchers using AI tools for coding, figure production, and writing often blur the line between legitimate acceleration and academic misconduct, risking fabricated citations, outsourced judgment, and undisclosed AI authorship. ## Core Features & Use Cases - Three-phase workflow orchestration: Classifies the session into Vibe Coding, Vibe Figure, or Vibe Writing and applies phase-specific techniques such as Plan Mode, small verified steps, and the four-step figure workflow. - Six-rule integrity gate: Enforces non-negotiable behavioural rules covering permitted AI uses, user ownership of ideas, sentence-by-sentence verification, citation authenticity, misconduct prevention, and venue disclosure compliance. - Tool selection matrix: Recommends Cursor, Claude Code, Codex, Figma, Matplotlib, Claude, or Grammarly based on the current phase, budget, and network constraints. - Use Case: A PhD student starting a paper-writing week asks which AI tool fits each task; the skill produces a workflow plan pairing Claude for polish with a banned-vocabulary scan and a sentence-by-sentence verification pass before submission. ## Quick Start Use phd-vibe-research-workflow to plan my AI-assisted research session for this week and state the integrity rules I must follow.
