What problem does it solve?
This Skill helps maintainers, contributors, and researchers identify open, high-impact research problems for the Cambridge Beer Festival app, framed against the project's state-of-the-art goal of seamless offline/online operation in festival conditions, avoiding vague, unactionable research ideas.
Core Features & Use Cases
- Framed research problems: 5 open research problems aligned to the project's core SOTA definition, each with context on why naive approaches fail and the project's unique assets to solve them.
- Concrete actionable steps: First three exact, repo-specific steps for each problem, tied to existing files and patterns in the codebase.
- Falsifiable milestones: Clear "you have a result when" criteria for each problem to ensure research produces measurable, rigorous outcomes rather than subjective vibes.
- Promotion path & guardrails: Explicit workflow for turning a frontier idea into a shipped change, plus a constraint envelope (free-tier only, no ops burden, festival freeze, mobile-only data) all candidates must survive.
- Use Case: Use this Skill when asked "what's the frontier here", "what would make this project state-of-the-art", or before proposing any experiment that needs a rigorous, falsifiable result.
Quick Start
Use the research-frontier skill to identify a high-impact, falsifiable research problem to pursue for the Cambridge Beer Festival app.
