SYSTEM DOCUMENTATION & REQUIREMENTS

💡 This Skill includes assets (resource) and references (resource) components.

What problem does it solve?

Coordinate a structured, literature-grounded ideation workflow to generate top-3 research directions and seed evo-memory with direction summaries.

Core Features & Use Cases

  • Literature-grounded ideation using paper-navigator to collect sources and build the literature-tree
  • Three personas (Innovator, Pragmatist, Critic) to generate diverse directions
  • Stepwise refinement with 3 parallel tracks and an evo-memory integration
  • Elo tournament-based ranking to surface top-3 directions and decision-ready proposals
  • Auto-update of evo-memory with feasible directions and unsuccessful directions for future cycles
  • Optional handoff to proposal expansion in Step 7

Quick Start

Start a new ideation cycle to generate top-3 directions and seed evo-memory with the results.

Frequently Asked Questions about research-ideation

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

FAQPage Schema
What is literature-grounded ideation for research planning?▼

Literature-grounded ideation generates research directions by first collecting sources via paper-navigator and building a literature-tree to ensure scientific validity before proposing new paths.

How do I generate and rank top research directions using Elo tournament?▼

You can generate directions through three personas (Innovator, Pragmatist, Critic), then apply Elo tournament-based ranking to surface the top-3 decision-ready research directions for your proposal.

Does research ideation require any specific literature tools?▼

Yes, it requires paper-navigator to collect literature sources and construct the literature-tree necessary to ground the generated directions in existing scientific methodology.

How are unsuccessful research directions handled in future cycles?▼

Evo-memory is automatically updated with both feasible and unsuccessful direction summaries, ensuring failed ideas are recorded to guide and prevent repetition in subsequent ideation cycles.

Can I expand top-3 research directions into full proposals?▼

Yes, after the Elo tournament surfaces the top-3 directions, an optional Step 7 handoff allows you to proceed directly into proposal expansion for the selected research direction.
