SYSTEM DOCUMENTATION & REQUIREMENTS

What problem does it solve?

This Skill automates the entire scientific-method research lifecycle to convert rough questions into refined problem statements, testable hypotheses, literature-backed assessments, executed experiments, and final findings and abstracts without ongoing operator intervention.

Core Features & Use Cases

End-to-end orchestration: Refines problems, generates hypotheses, performs parallel literature reviews, designs and runs experiments, and writes findings.md and article-abstract.md.
Resumable and idempotent: Detects progress from hypothesis and problem files and resumes interrupted runs without duplicating work.
Parallel, agent-driven research: Spawns literature and experiment Tasks in parallel to accelerate slow research steps and maintain reproducible experiment artifacts.
Use Case: Methodically investigate an open-ended scientific or debugging question (e.g., literature review + targeted experiments) to produce a publishable summary.

Quick Start

Invoke the researching skill with a problem slug and an initial description, for example: run researching on problem slug dark-matter with initial description "What accounts for missing mass in galaxy rotation?"

FAQPage Schema

How do I automate a literature review and hypothesis testing for an open-ended research question?▼

Automated literature review and hypothesis testing orchestrates a full scientific-method loop that refines problems, generates hypotheses, runs parallel literature assessments, executes experiments, and outputs findings.md and article-abstract.md.

Can I resume an interrupted autonomous research run without duplicating completed experiments?▼

Yes, autonomous research runs are resumable and idempotent, detecting existing progress from hypothesis and problem files to resume interrupted loops without duplicating experiment artifacts or literature tasks.

What is the best way to run parallel literature reviews and experiments during exploratory investigations?▼

The best way to run parallel literature reviews and experiments is through agent orchestration that spawns background tasks simultaneously, accelerating slow research steps while maintaining reproducible experiment artifacts.

How does iterative research handle problem refinement before generating testable hypotheses?▼

Iterative research handles problem refinement by analyzing an initial description, narrowing the scope into a refined problem statement, and then generating literature-backed, testable hypotheses for experimental validation.

Does autonomous research require file read/write access to manage iteration state and experiment artifacts?▼

Yes, autonomous research requires file read/write access to manage iteration state via hypothesis files and to produce reproducible experiment artifacts alongside final findings and abstract files.

Can I use autonomous research for debugging complex issues that require experimental validation?▼

Yes, you can use autonomous research for debugging complex issues because the scientific-method loop applies iterative hypothesis testing and experimental validation to systematically investigate and resolve exploratory problems.
