What problem does it solve? Turning a vague research direction into both a focused method proposal and a detailed experiment roadmap normally requires running separate workflows and manually keeping them consistent. This Skill chains the research-refine and experiment-plan stages so the final proposal, review history, and validation plan stay aligned in one pass. ## Core Features & Use Cases - End-to-End Pipeline: Runs method refinement first, then generates a claim-driven experiment plan grounded in the refined proposal. - Planning Gate: Enforces a checkpoint that verifies the method thesis, dominant contribution, and rejected complexity before any experiment planning begins. - Structured Outputs: Produces FINAL_PROPOSAL.md, REVIEW_SUMMARY.md, EXPERIMENT_PLAN.md, EXPERIMENT_TRACKER.md, and a PIPELINE_SUMMARY.md under refine-logs/. - Use Case: A researcher with a rough idea for a paper asks to "串起来" the whole flow and receives a stabilized method thesis plus a prioritized experiment roadmap with run order, budget, and decision gates. ## Quick Start Ask the assistant to run the research-refine-pipeline on your rough research idea to produce a refined proposal and experiment plan together.
