SYSTEM DOCUMENTATION & REQUIREMENTS

What problem does it solve?

Researchers often know their goal—designing a study, running a systematic review, grading evidence, or preparing a grant—but not which specialized methodology skill to invoke. This router resolves that ambiguity by mapping the research intent to exactly one stable Skill ID.

Core Features & Use Cases

  • Intent-Based Routing: Searches available skills using study type, population or evidence scope, and expected deliverable to find the right methodology skill.
  • Single-Skill Loading: Selects and loads exactly one specific skill via skill_search and skill_load, avoiding context bloat from loading multiple methods.
  • Clarification on Ambiguity: Asks a focused clarifying question instead of guessing when the research intent is unclear.
  • Use Case: You want to conduct a systematic literature review with evidence grading. Describe your study scope, and the router identifies and loads the correct systematic review skill so you can follow its method directly.

Quick Start

Ask the assistant to route your systematic review and evidence grading task to the right research methodology skill.

FAQPage Schema
How do I choose the right research methodology skill for a systematic review?

Provide your study type, population or evidence scope, and expected deliverable. The router calls skill_search with those parameters, selects one stable Skill ID, and loads it so you follow that method directly.

What research tasks does this router cover?

It covers study design, systematic and scoping reviews, evidence grading, deep research, manuscript review, reproducibility assessment, and funding or grant methodology. Each intent maps to a single specialized skill.

What happens if my research request is ambiguous?

The router asks a focused clarifying question rather than loading multiple skills. This prevents loading irrelevant methodology content and keeps the context focused on one method.

Can the router load multiple methodology skills at once?

No. It deliberately selects exactly one specific stable Skill ID and calls skill_load once. Loading multiple full skills is explicitly avoided to keep instructions coherent.

When should I not use a research methods router?

Skip the router when you already know the exact skill you need and can load it directly. The routing step adds value only when the appropriate methodology skill is uncertain.
