FAQPage Schema
How do I narrow down a vague research idea into a focused survey scope?

To narrow a vague idea into a survey scope, this Skill uses an interactive dialogue that asks clarifying questions to converge your broad topic into an executable research plan suitable for downstream pipeline stages.

What is the best way to plan a survey topic for early-stage research?

The best way to plan an early-stage survey topic is through a defined initial exploration workflow that parses your input interactively. This process identifies and refines fuzzy concepts into a precise, downstream-ready survey scope draft.

Can I use this guided brainstorming workflow with multilingual research input like Chinese and English?

Yes, you can use multilingual phrases including English and Chinese for survey brainstorming. The workflow clearly parses your mixed-language input to guide the topic refinement dialogue without requiring strict translation beforehand.

How do I generate a SURVEY_SCOPE.md draft for my research pipeline?

You generate a SURVEY_SCOPE.md draft by engaging in the interactive refinement dialogue to define your topic boundaries. The resulting output is structured specifically as a downstream-ready input for subsequent /survey-pipeline stages.

Does this research planning workflow require any specific dependencies or framework installations?

No specific dependencies or framework installations are required to use this research planning workflow. It operates as a standalone interactive dialogue to refine your topic into a focused survey scope without prerequisite components.

When should I not use an automated survey scope refinement approach for topic planning?

You should not use automated survey scope refinement if your research idea already has a highly detailed, executable structure. This interactive dialogue is designed specifically for early-stage, fuzzy topics that require guided narrowing before deep-dive work begins.
