SYSTEM DOCUMENTATION & REQUIREMENTS

What problem does it solve?

Generates structured research questions, testable hypotheses, and empirical strategies from a topic, phenomenon, or dataset description to help plan rigorous studies.

Core Features & Use Cases

  • Question generation: Produces 3-5 ranked research questions across descriptive, correlational, causal, mechanism, and policy angles.
  • Method design: For each question, provides hypotheses, identification strategies (e.g., DiD, IV, RDD), data requirements, key assumptions, and potential pitfalls.
  • Output export: Saves results to quality_reports/research_ideation_[sanitized_topic].md for traceability and reproducibility.

Quick Start

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

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

FAQPage Schema
How do I generate testable hypotheses and research questions from a dataset description?▼

To generate research questions and testable hypotheses from a dataset description, provide the dataset's details to receive 3-5 ranked questions complete with empirical strategies, data requirements, and key assumptions.

How do I design an identification strategy for causal inference in my study?▼

Designing an identification strategy for causal inference involves specifying mechanisms like DiD, IV, or RDD for your research questions, which this process outlines alongside potential pitfalls and required data.

What is the best way to structure a multi-step empirical research plan for a new topic?▼

Structuring a multi-step empirical research plan requires formulating hypotheses and matching them with identification strategies, data requirements, and 2-3 related works to ensure rigorous study design.

Can I use this method to develop both descriptive and policy-oriented research questions?▼

Yes, you can develop descriptive, correlational, causal, mechanism, and policy-oriented research questions by inputting your topic or phenomenon to receive ranked questions spanning these distinct analytical angles.

How do I export generated research ideation results for traceability?▼

Export generated research ideation results for traceability by saving the structured questions, hypotheses, and strategies directly to a markdown file named quality_reports/research_ideation_[sanitized_topic].md.
