SYSTEM DOCUMENTATION & REQUIREMENTS

What problem does it solve?

Orchestrates a complete idea discovery workflow that takes a broad research direction and produces validated ideas, pilot plans, and structured reports.

Core Features & Use Cases

  • Literature survey: maps the research landscape using sub-skills like /research-lit to identify gaps and opportunities.
  • Idea generation & filtering: brainstorms multiple ideas and ranks them by feasibility and novelty.
  • Novelty verification and critique: performs deep novelty checks and external reviews to guard against duplication.
  • Experiment planning: converts top ideas into concrete proposals and experiment roadmaps with guardrails.
  • Output artifacts: produces IDEA_REPORT.md and refine-logs for reproducibility.

Quick Start

Run /idea-discovery with a topic to begin the complete idea discovery workflow.

FAQPage Schema
How do I automate the research idea discovery pipeline from a broad topic?▼

The research pipeline automates idea discovery by coordinating literature surveys, idea generation, and novelty checks to transform broad topics into validated pilot plans and structured reports.

What is the end-to-end process for validating research novelty and avoiding duplication?▼

Novelty validation involves performing deep literature surveys to identify gaps, brainstorming multiple ideas, and executing structured novelty checks and external reviews to guard against duplication.

Can I configure budget limits and auto-proceed settings for experimental planning workflows?▼

Yes, the pipeline orchestration supports configurable budgets and an AUTO_PROCEED setting to seamlessly automate the transition from idea generation to experiment planning and structured review.

How do I generate a structured pilot plan and experiment roadmap from a research direction?▼

You can generate a pilot plan by running the complete workflow, which converts top-ranked ideas into concrete proposals and experiment roadmaps with guardrails, documented in IDEA_REPORT.md.

What are the limitations of using an automated research pipeline for literature surveys?▼

While the pipeline orchestrates literature surveys and novelty checks, its effectiveness depends on the initial topic scope and may require manual review of the generated refine-logs to ensure research validity.
