What problem does it solve? Turning a vague research direction into both a focused method proposal and a concrete experiment roadmap normally requires running separate workflows and manually keeping them consistent. This Skill chains the research-refine and experiment-plan stages into a single pipeline so the final proposal, review history, and experiment plan stay aligned. ## 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 Deliverables: Produces FINAL_PROPOSAL.md, REVIEW_SUMMARY.md, REFINEMENT_REPORT.md, EXPERIMENT_PLAN.md, EXPERIMENT_TRACKER.md, and PIPELINE_SUMMARY.md under refine-logs/. - Use Case: A researcher with a rough idea for an interpretability paper asks for the full pipeline and receives a stabilized method proposal plus a prioritized experiment roadmap with run order, budget, and decision gates. ## Quick Start Ask the agent to run the research-refine-pipeline on your research direction to produce a refined proposal and experiment plan together.
