SYSTEM DOCUMENTATION & REQUIREMENTS

What problem does it solve?

Interactive, user-guided selection of research directions from survey results to help teams pick a concrete publishable angle, reducing indecision and rework.

Core Features & Use Cases

  • Reads survey outputs (.viewerleaf and .pipeline docs) to understand context and gaps.
  • Generates 2-4 concrete candidate directions with structured pros/cons, feasibility, and benchmarks.
  • Presents an explicit USER_CHECKPOINT for user selection before converging to the final publishable angle.

Quick Start

Provide survey results and gap analysis, and let the skill propose 2-4 candidate directions, then await your choice to finalize.

FAQPage Schema
How do I converge multiple academic research ideas into a single publishable angle?

To converge research ideas into a single publishable angle, provide your survey outputs and gap analyses to generate 2-4 structured candidate directions. The workflow awaits your explicit selection at a user checkpoint before finalizing the chosen angle.

What is the best way to select a research direction from a literature review?

Selecting a research direction from a literature review requires synthesizing identified gaps into 2-4 concrete candidate paths. The process presents structured feasibility comparisons and enforces a mandatory user checkpoint to confirm the final choice.

How do I turn a gap analysis into concrete candidate research directions?

Turning a gap analysis into concrete candidate research directions involves reading survey context to propose 2-4 viable paths. Each direction includes structured pros, cons, and benchmarks to help you decide on a publishable angle.

Can I automatically generate a final publishable angle without user confirmation?

No, you cannot automatically generate a final publishable angle without user confirmation. The workflow enforces strict constraints with a mandatory user checkpoint, meaning no auto-convergence occurs until you explicitly select a candidate direction.

What inputs do I need to provide for academic ideation and research idea selection?

For academic ideation and research idea selection, you need to provide survey results and gap analyses, typically formatted as .viewerleaf and .pipeline docs. These inputs provide the context required to generate structured candidate directions.
