Use the topic-problematization sub-skill, which runs a four-step diagnosis: identifying your driver type (empirical paradox, theoretical contradiction, literature gap, method limitation), testing the question against six quality elements, building a defense, and operationalizing it into a hypothesis tree.

Use the research-distiller sub-skill by declaring your intent first, then providing the material. It analyzes up to eight dimensions—problem awareness, theory construction, argumentation, methodology, literature dialogue, evidence, rhetoric, and contribution—and appends results to a shared compendium.

No. It is explicitly designed as a thinking scaffold, not a paper generator. It asks diagnostic questions and provides traceable methodological criteria, but all answers, writing, and conceptual judgment remain the researcher's responsibility.

It targets social sciences and humanities, with source materials spanning sociology, management, education, history, political science, communication, and over ten disciplines. STEM-specific structures like experimental control groups are outside its extraction scope.

The research-architecture sub-skill performs horizontal positioning across three layers—anchoring, execution, and convergence—then routes you to the matching deep-diagnostic sub-skill for that stage.

Literature dialogue guidance is the thinnest area with only two sources, and qualitative methodology coverage is thinner than quantitative. It cannot replace a mentor's knowledge of your field's frontier or your own conceptual judgment.
