SYSTEM DOCUMENTATION & REQUIREMENTS

What problem does it solve?

This skill helps research teams define and revise project-level research pipelines, ensuring topics, targets, and milestones are clearly scoped and aligned with a standard five-stage workflow.

Core Features & Use Cases

  • Clarify the research topic, target venue, and expected contribution; set or revise the starting stage; update .pipeline/docs/research_brief.json and .pipeline/tasks/tasks.json
  • Enforce strict, stage-by-stage progression with user checkpoints to prevent skipping stages
  • When entering ideation stage, trigger the dedicated research-idea-convergence flow to generate candidate directions for user selection
  • Read existing instance.json and pipeline documentation to keep plans in sync with current results

Quick Start

Draft a concise research brief and a concrete task plan that progresses sequentially from survey to promotion.

FAQPage Schema
How do I plan a research pipeline with clear milestones and deliverables?

To plan a research pipeline, define your research topic, target venue, and expected contribution, then establish a sequential five-stage workflow from survey to promotion with enforced user checkpoints to prevent skipping stages.

What is the standard workflow for coordinating research topic definition and milestones?

Coordinating research milestones involves applying a strict five-stage progression that aligns topic definition, target deliverables, and documentation across stages, ensuring teams sync plans with current results through instance.json.

Can I skip stages when progressing through a research project pipeline?

You cannot skip stages in the research pipeline; the system enforces stage-by-stage progression with user checkpoints to ensure sequential advancement from survey to promotion.

How do I generate candidate directions during the research ideation stage?

During the research ideation stage, a dedicated convergence flow automatically triggers to generate candidate directions, allowing you to select and refine specific research paths before proceeding.

What files need to be updated when revising a project research brief?

Revising a project research brief requires updating .pipeline/docs/research_brief.json for topic scope and .pipeline/tasks/tasks.json for the concrete task plan and milestones.

Does the research pipeline planner read existing project documentation to stay in sync?

Yes, the planner reads existing instance.json and pipeline documentation to keep your project plans synchronized with current research results and milestone progression.
