SYSTEM DOCUMENTATION & REQUIREMENTS

💡 This Skill requires tools/research_wiki.py, /review.

What problem does it solve?

It helps you turn a rough research artifact (idea, proposal, experiment plan, or paper draft) into a stronger, higher-scoring version by repeatedly requesting structured review feedback and applying targeted fixes.

Core Features & Use Cases

  • Multi-round review-and-revise loop: Runs up to a configured number of iterations, calling review each round and tracking score progression.
  • Actionable improvement handling: Directly fixes method/content issues and updates the wiki when gaps or relationships are explicitly recommended by the review.
  • Stops on meaningful convergence: Terminates when the target score is reached, when the verdict is ready, when scores stop improving, or when the max rounds are exhausted.
  • Use cases: Strengthening an idea’s novelty argument, improving an experiment plan’s completeness, and revising a paper draft based on systematic weaknesses.

Quick Start

Ask the AI to refine wiki/outputs/paper-draft-v1.md with a target score of 8 for at most 4 rounds and a hard review focus on method.

Frequently Asked Questions about /refine

High-intent search queries and answers about installing and using this skill.

FAQPage Schema
How do I iteratively improve a research paper draft based on structured feedback?

To iteratively improve a research paper draft, you run a review-and-revise loop that extracts actionable items from structured feedback and applies targeted fixes until a target review score is reached or scores stop improving.

Can I use a wiki slug to refine an experiment plan?

Yes, you can refine an experiment plan by referencing it via wiki slugs or direct file paths, allowing the system to perform in-place edits and constrained wiki updates derived from the review feedback.

What is the best way to automate strengthening an idea's novelty argument?

Automating novelty argument strengthening involves configuring a maximum number of review rounds, extracting method and content weaknesses, and applying fixes until the artifact reaches a ready verdict or target score.

How does iterative refinement handle score convergence for research artifacts?

Iterative refinement handles score convergence by tracking score progression across rounds and terminating the process when the target score is reached, the verdict is ready, or scores stop improving before max rounds are exhausted.

Does the review-and-revise loop support hard focus on specific sections like methods?

Yes, the review-and-revise loop supports a hard review focus on specific areas such as method, ensuring that the extracted actionable items and subsequent fixes target the specified section comprehensively.

When should I stop refining research outputs to avoid unnecessary iterations?

You should stop refining research outputs when the stopping rule triggers, which happens if the target score is achieved, the review verdict becomes ready, or the maximum configured rounds are exhausted without score improvements.
