SYSTEM DOCUMENTATION & REQUIREMENTS

💡 This Skill includes scripts (resource) components.

What problem does it solve?

It helps you jump-start academic research by converting an initial topic into a structured outline with candidate research objects and field dimensions, then optionally supplements it with up-to-date findings.

Core Features & Use Cases

  • Preliminary research framework generation: Uses the model’s existing knowledge to produce an initial list of research objects/items and a suggested research-field framework for the topic.
  • Recency-aware web search supplementation: Prompts for a time range and then runs a web-search agent to add missing items/fields and capture sources within that window.
  • Field alignment and outline packaging: Asks whether you already have field definitions, merges them with the generated framework, and outputs two structured files (outline.yaml and fields.yaml) for downstream deep research.

Quick Start

Run /research Artificial Intelligence in Economics to generate a preliminary research framework and request an outline confirmation.

Frequently Asked Questions about research

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

FAQPage Schema
How do I generate a preliminary research outline for an academic topic?

This Skill creates a preliminary research outline by generating a topic-specific list of research objects and a research-field framework, outputting structured YAML files for downstream execution.

What is the best way to benchmark existing research and define research gaps?

Benchmarking existing research involves mapping current objects and fields, which this Skill facilitates by generating an academic framework to help define research gaps for your topic.

Can I supplement my academic framework with recent web search results?

You can supplement your academic framework with recent web search results by configuring a specific time-range, triggering a web-search agent to capture missing items and up-to-date sources.

Does the research outline generation support custom field definitions?

The research outline generation supports custom field definitions by interactively asking whether you have existing field definitions and merging them with the generated framework before packaging.

How do I prepare inputs for batch deep-research execution?

To prepare inputs for batch deep-research execution, this Skill packages the validated academic framework and research objects into structured outline.yaml and fields.yaml formats.

What are the limitations of using a preliminary research framework for economics and finance?

Using a preliminary research framework for economics and finance relies on the model's existing knowledge for initial generation, making optional web search supplementation necessary to capture recent developments.
