SYSTEM DOCUMENTATION & REQUIREMENTS

What problem does it solve?

This skill helps researchers quickly generate structured research questions, testable hypotheses, and empirical strategies from a given topic, phenomenon, or dataset.

Core Features & Use Cases

  • Generate 3-5 research questions ordered from descriptive to causal.
  • For each question, provide a hypothesis, an identification strategy, and data requirements.
  • Produce a saved report at quality_reports/research_ideation_[sanitized_topic].md with related literature and potential pitfalls.

Quick Start

Provide a topic, phenomenon, or dataset description to generate 3-5 research questions, hypotheses, and empirical strategies.

FAQPage Schema
How do I generate testable hypotheses and research questions from a broad topic?

To generate testable hypotheses and research questions, provide a topic or dataset description to produce 3-5 structured queries ordered from descriptive to causal, each paired with an empirical identification strategy and data requirements.

What is an empirical identification strategy in causal inference study design?

An empirical identification strategy in causal inference study design defines the methodological approach used to isolate treatment effects, explicitly detailing data requirements, key assumptions, and potential pitfalls to ensure valid empirical testing.

Can I use a dataset description to formulate structured research questions for empirical analysis?

Yes, you can input a dataset description to formulate structured research questions for empirical analysis, generating ordered hypotheses with specific data requirements and related literature references based on the provided variables.

What's the best way to structure a research ideation report for ranking study designs?

The best way to structure a research ideation report for ranking study designs is using a Markdown format containing an Overview, Research Questions, Ranking, and Next Steps sections, saved directly to your quality reports directory.

Does generating research questions automatically include related literature references and potential pitfalls?

Yes, generating research questions automatically includes 2-3 related literature references and potential pitfalls for each query, ensuring you capture key assumptions and data requirements necessary for robust causal inference.
