SYSTEM DOCUMENTATION & REQUIREMENTS

What problem does it solve?

This Skill orchestrates a complete idea discovery workflow for research projects, turning scattered literature into validated, pilot-tested ideas and concrete proposals.

Core Features & Use Cases

  • Orchestrates sub-skills: literature survey, idea creation, novelty check, critical review, and refinement into a coherent IDEA_REPORT.
  • Generates structured artifacts: IDEA_REPORT.md, refine-logs/FINAL_PROPOSAL.md, refine-logs/EXPERIMENT_PLAN.md, and optionally IDEA_CANDIDATES.md when compact mode is enabled.
  • Supports configurable defaults (pilot limits, budgets, auto-proceed) and context-rich prompts for robust evaluation and traceability.
  • Ideal for researchers seeking an end-to-end pipeline from research direction to experimental planning and reporting.

Quick Start

Provide a research direction to launch the end-to-end idea discovery workflow.

FAQPage Schema
What is an end-to-end idea discovery workflow for research?▼

An end-to-end idea discovery workflow automates the process from literature survey to concrete experiment planning. It orchestrates idea generation, novelty verification, and critical review to deliver validated research proposals and a finalized IDEA_REPORT.

How do I automate idea generation and novelty verification for a research project?▼

You can automate idea generation and novelty verification by providing a research direction to launch the modular workflow. The system applies configurable constraints and defaults for pilot limits to systematically evaluate and refine research candidates.

Can I generate a concrete experiment plan directly from a literature survey?▼

Yes, you can generate a concrete experiment plan from a literature survey. The workflow outputs structured artifacts including refine-logs/EXPERIMENT_PLAN.md, moving systematically from initial literature review to finalized experimental planning.

Does the idea discovery workflow support configurable constraints for pilot limits?▼

Yes, the idea discovery workflow supports configurable constraints including defaults for pilot limits, budgets, and auto-proceed settings. These configurable parameters ensure robust evaluation and traceability throughout the research pipeline.

What artifacts and reports are generated by the research idea discovery pipeline?▼

The research idea discovery pipeline generates structured artifacts including IDEA_REPORT.md, refine-logs/FINAL_PROPOSAL.md, and refine-logs/EXPERIMENT_PLAN.md. IDEA_CANDIDATES.md is optionally generated when compact mode is enabled.

When should I use an automated research workflow over manual critical review?▼

Use an automated research workflow when moving from a broad research direction to structured experimental planning requires systematic novelty checks and critical refinement. It delivers traceable IDEA_REPORTs that manual scattered literature processing cannot efficiently produce.
