System Documentation

What problem does it solve?

The stopping-criteria skill helps researchers and teams determine when iterative investigations have produced sufficient evidence to answer a research question, enabling timely final synthesis.

Core Features & Use Cases

  • Provides a decision framework that distinguishes hard stops (iteration budget, budget threshold, catastrophic failure) from soft stops (coherent mechanistic model, diminishing returns, sufficient coverage, final readiness).
  • Guides endgame strategy for the final iterations, including when to shift priorities and how to triage remaining tasks.
  • Suitable for any iterative research workflow requiring objective stopping rules and an explicit synthesis plan.

Quick Start

Input your current iteration state and budget constraints, and the Skill will decide whether to continue or synthesize now.
