SYSTEM DOCUMENTATION & REQUIREMENTS

💡 This Skill includes references (resource) components.

What problem does it solve? Launching an autonomous Idea Tree research run requires well-prepared objectives, constraints, and evidence; this Skill ensures the Lead gathers literature and supplied materials first, then correctly hands off execution to the Python research engine instead of simulating the tree manually. ## Core Features & Use Cases - Evidence-first preparation: Searches and reads relevant literature, then summarizes evidence with source references, constraints, and uncertainties before submission. - Engine handoff: Calls create_idea_research(objective, materials) so the Python engine owns all tree iterations, assessments, and insight propagation. - Result explanation: Uses get_idea_research to explain saved results in terms of candidate differences, assessment findings, improvements, and uncertainties. - Use Case: A materials researcher asks to explore catalyst hypotheses; the Skill retrieves supporting literature, packages the objective and evidence, starts the Idea Tree engine, and later explains the scored leaf candidates. ## Quick Start Ask the agent to run /idea-tree-team on your research question so it gathers supporting literature and starts an autonomous Idea Tree research run.

FAQPage Schema
How do I start an Idea Tree research run?▼

Use /idea-tree or /idea-tree-team in the composer, or make an explicit natural-language request. The workflow prepares the objective, constraints, and literature evidence, then calls create_idea_research to hand execution to the Python engine.

How does the Idea Tree engine evaluate hypotheses?▼

The Python engine runs repeated batches of ideation, design, and independent activity, stability, and sustainability assessments, then aggregates scores and propagates insights. Only pending leaves at the configured execution depth are evaluated; direction nodes receive summaries rather than independent scores.

Can I skip literature retrieval before starting research?▼

Yes, retrieval is skipped when the user explicitly requests it or when supplied evidence is already sufficient. Without supplied evidence, conclusions must be identified as hypotheses rather than sourced findings.

How do I check Idea Tree progress or results?▼

Use get_idea_research when asking about progress or results after a run starts. Progress, pause, continue, and end controls live in the Idea Tree panel, and saved results are explained in terms of candidate differences, assessment findings, and uncertainties.

What are the limitations of Idea Tree research results?▼

A completed research run is not experimental verification of its hypotheses; it produces scored candidates and insights from automated assessments. The engine does not search literature, execute code, or dispatch tool-using subagents during iterations.
