research-ideation

To generate ranked research questions from study findings, the skill reads a results briefing file and outputs 5–10 questions ranked by feasibility, novelty, and impact. It then sketches data requirements and identification strategies for the top three.

To brainstorm identification strategies for empirical economics extensions, the skill processes a study's results briefing and provides plausible estimation approaches, expected findings, and data needs for the top three ranked research questions.

To outline data requirements for a literature-driven research extension, the skill reads a results briefing and extracts necessary data specifications alongside identification strategies for the top three generated research questions.

Yes, you can use a markdown results briefing to plan a research agenda. The skill reads the study summary file to generate prioritized question lists and saves the output sketches as a markdown report for downstream review.

No, research ideation does not work without prior study results. The skill requires access to a study summary and results briefing file to transform existing empirical findings into actionable extension plans and ranked questions.
