What problem does it solve?
This Skill bridges the gap between a researcher's initial, vague interest and a concrete, defensible research topic, preventing the common pitfall of starting projects without a clear, evidence-backed foundation.
Core Features & Use Cases
- Diverge-Scan-Converge Workflow: Systematically generates candidate directions, performs targeted literature scans, and applies a six-dimension rubric to select the best path.
- Evidence-Based Ideation: Ensures every research claim is grounded in fetched literature records rather than memory, providing a transparent audit trail.
- Use Case: A researcher has a hunch about "improving LLM reasoning" but no specific plan; this Skill guides them through brainstorming, scanning existing preprints, and framing a validation experiment.
