SYSTEM DOCUMENTATION & REQUIREMENTS

💡 This Skill includes scripts (resource) components.

What problem does it solve?

This skill solves the problem of LLMs proposing unverified, subjective, or over-researched topics by forcing every candidate through a strict, objective admissibility framework before any experimental effort is spent.

Core Features & Use Cases

  • Admissibility Gates: Automatically filters research ideas based on openness, programmatic verifiability, compute budget, reachability, recency, and novelty.
  • Structured Workflow: Orchestrates a multi-stage process from literature sweep to final brief compilation.
  • Use Case: Use this before starting an AI-scientist experiment cycle to ensure your hypothesis is concrete, falsifiable, and genuinely novel, preventing wasted compute on dead-end research.

Quick Start

Use the research-topic-selector skill to find and vet three open research problems in the field of online learning bandits.

FAQPage Schema
How do I validate research topic feasibility and novelty before starting experiments?

Admissibility gates filter research ideas by checking openness, programmatic verifiability, compute budget, reachability, recency, and novelty constraints. This prevents wasted compute on over-researched or unverifiable topics before any experimental effort begins.

Why does my AI-scientist workflow propose over-researched or unverified research topics?

AI-scientist workflows often propose unverified topics because they lack strict objective admissibility frameworks. Forcing every candidate hypothesis through programmatic verification and recency constraints ensures research feasibility and genuine novelty before any compute is spent.

What is the best way to generate a falsifiable research hypothesis from literature review results?

The best way to generate a falsifiable hypothesis is orchestrating a structured multi-stage workflow from literature sweep to final brief compilation, applying objective admissibility gates to ensure the research problem is concrete and genuinely open.

How do I find open research problems in a specific field using AI ideation?

You can use AI ideation to identify open research problems by running a literature search through strict admissibility gates, targeting the initial hypothesis generation phase to output a concrete, falsifiable brief of genuinely novel topics.

Does this research ideation approach work for low compute budget experiments?

Yes, this research ideation approach works for low compute budget experiments by automatically filtering candidate research ideas through strict compute budget constraints as part of its objective admissibility framework.
