Hypothesis Designer

What problem does it solve?

This skill helps researchers transform broad ideas into falsifiable, measurable hypotheses with explicit metrics, baselines, and stop criteria to guide experiments and evaluations.

Core Features & Use Cases

• Iterative framing: converts vague hypotheses into a thesis/antithesis/synthesis loop to surface contradictions and minimal expansions.
• Structured artifacts: enforces frontmatter requirements (title, summary, hypothesis_id, metrics, decision rules) and produces a clear plan for Stage 1 evaluation.
• Handoff-ready outputs: supports compact handoffs to downstream stages (e.g., Research State Keeper) with key fields for tracking run_id, thesis, and planned actions.
• Guardrails and questioning loop: includes a guided questioning protocol to elicit user intent, constraints, and preferred direction before execution.

Quick Start

Provide a research idea and rough goals, and let Hypothesis Designer produce a falsifiable hypothesis with metrics and a plan.
