SYSTEM DOCUMENTATION & REQUIREMENTS

💡 This Skill includes scripts (resource) and references (resource) components.

What problem does it solve?

This Skill helps researchers identify high-impact, novel research topics by analyzing existing projects, findings, and available data, bridging gaps between completed work and future scientific discovery.

Core Features & Use Cases

Landscape Synthesis: Consolidates information from project reports, research ideas, discovery logs, and BERDL data collections.
Gap Identification: Pinpoints underexplored data and recurring limitations in completed research.
Prioritized Recommendations: Suggests 2-3 research topics with detailed justifications, grounding, and literature context.
Use Case: A research lab has completed several projects on microbial metabolism. This Skill can analyze those findings, identify common limitations or underexplored data sets in BERDL, and propose a new, high-impact research question that builds upon previous work and addresses a current scientific gap.

Quick Start

Use the suggest research skill to identify a new research direction based on completed projects and available data.
