research-refine

To refine a vague research idea, this Skill applies iterative proposal review to anchor problem statements, integrate foundation-model-era primitives, and design sufficient validation experiments for publication-ready execution.

Anchoring a research problem during method development requires enforcing strict problem-focused constraints during iterative reviews, ensuring proposed foundation-model techniques consistently align with the original problem statement.

Yes, you need both GPT-5.4 and Claude Code environments to run research refinement, as the Skill explicitly requires these dependencies to execute method-level proposal review and validation.

You integrate foundation-model-era techniques into experiment design by applying method refinement that evaluates your proposal against modern primitives, ensuring your selected techniques remain current and appropriate for the specific problem.

You should avoid using automated tools for research proposal validation if your project lacks a clearly defined initial problem statement, as this refinement process requires a baseline direction to anchor and transform into an implementation-oriented method plan.
