SYSTEM DOCUMENTATION & REQUIREMENTS

What problem does it solve?

This skill helps research teams define and revise project-level research pipelines, ensuring topics, targets, and milestones are clearly scoped and aligned with a standard five-stage workflow.

Core Features & Use Cases

  • Clarify the research topic, target venue, and expected contribution; set or revise the starting stage; update .pipeline/docs/research_brief.json and .pipeline/tasks/tasks.json
  • Enforce strict, stage-by-stage progression with user checkpoints to prevent skipping stages
  • When entering ideation stage, trigger the dedicated research-idea-convergence flow to generate candidate directions for user selection
  • Read existing instance.json and pipeline documentation to keep plans in sync with current results

Quick Start

Draft a concise research brief and a concrete task plan that progresses sequentially from survey to promotion.

FAQPage Schema
How do I plan a research pipeline with clear milestones and deliverables?▼

To plan a research pipeline, define your research topic, target venue, and expected contribution, then establish a sequential five-stage workflow from survey to promotion with enforced user checkpoints to prevent skipping stages.

What is the standard workflow for coordinating research topic definition and milestones?▼

Coordinating research milestones involves applying a strict five-stage progression that aligns topic definition, target deliverables, and documentation across stages, ensuring teams sync plans with current results through instance.json.

Can I skip stages when progressing through a research project pipeline?▼

You cannot skip stages in the research pipeline; the system enforces stage-by-stage progression with user checkpoints to ensure sequential advancement from survey to promotion.

How do I generate candidate directions during the research ideation stage?▼

During the research ideation stage, a dedicated convergence flow automatically triggers to generate candidate directions, allowing you to select and refine specific research paths before proceeding.

What files need to be updated when revising a project research brief?▼

Revising a project research brief requires updating .pipeline/docs/research_brief.json for topic scope and .pipeline/tasks/tasks.json for the concrete task plan and milestones.

Does the research pipeline planner read existing project documentation to stay in sync?▼

Yes, the planner reads existing instance.json and pipeline documentation to keep your project plans synchronized with current research results and milestone progression.
