SYSTEM DOCUMENTATION & REQUIREMENTS

What problem does it solve?

This skill helps you define or revise the project-level research pipeline, aligning all stages from survey to promotion and updating the relevant docs and task lists.

Core Features & Use Cases

  • Define or refine topic, target venue, and expected contribution
  • Maintain alignment with five stages: survey, ideation, experiment, publication, promotion
  • Auto-update pipeline documentation and task lists
  • Enforce linear execution with user checkpoints to prevent skipping stages

Quick Start

Define the research topic, target venue, and current stage, then trigger the pipeline update.

FAQPage Schema
How do I plan a research pipeline from ideation to publication?

To plan a research pipeline, you define the topic, target venue, and current stage, then the system organizes milestones across survey, ideation, experiment, publication, and promotion. It outputs a research brief, a dependency-driven task list, and updated pipeline documents.

What is the best way to track research milestones and enforce linear progression?

The best way to track research milestones is by enforcing linear execution with user checkpoints. This prevents skipping stages, ensuring each phase from survey to promotion is validated sequentially before progressing to the next experiment or publication task.

Can I use this research planner for project-level survey and promotion tasks?

Yes, you can use this research planner for project-level tasks spanning from the initial survey through promotion. It maintains alignment across five core stages, automatically updating pipeline documentation and task lists to reflect your current research workflow.

How do I update my research brief and task list with dependencies?

You update your research brief and task list by triggering a pipeline update after defining or refining your topic and target venue. The system then coordinates the workflow, generating a concise brief and mapping out task dependencies for your current stage.

Does the research workflow enforce checkpoints to prevent skipping stages?

Yes, the research workflow enforces linear execution with user checkpoints to prevent skipping stages. This ensures that ideation, experiment, and publication tasks are completed and validated sequentially before advancing the project pipeline.

What are the limitations of enforcing linear progression in a research pipeline?

A limitation of enforcing linear progression in a research pipeline is that it restricts parallel task execution. By requiring user checkpoints between survey, ideation, experiment, publication, and promotion stages, the workflow prevents overlapping or concurrent research activities.
