Research Ideation Full
Use when the user wants the full research ideation workflow grounded in one seed paper, including complete ideation, feasibility review, experiment planning, and final synthesis, or makes an equivalent ideation request in another language.
Best use case
Research Ideation Full is best used when you need a repeatable AI agent workflow instead of a one-off prompt.
Use when the user wants the full research ideation workflow grounded in one seed paper, including complete ideation, feasibility review, experiment planning, and final synthesis, or makes an equivalent ideation request in another language.
Teams using Research Ideation Full should expect a more consistent output, faster repeated execution, less prompt rewriting.
When to use this skill
- You want a reusable workflow that can be run more than once with consistent structure.
When not to use this skill
- You only need a quick one-off answer and do not need a reusable workflow.
- You cannot install or maintain the underlying files, dependencies, or repository context.

# Research Ideation Full Use this skill when the user wants a full ideation pipeline grounded in one seed paper, not just a few brainstorming bullets. ## Goal Turn one seed paper into a structured research ideation report by emulating the five-stage ideation workflow: 1. Hypothesis Generation 2. Feasibility Review 3. Experiment Design 4. Review 5. Final Synthesis ## Workflow 1. Identify the seed paper. If the paper is not identifiable, ask for the title, URL, or PDF link. 2. Use `readPaper` to ground the ideation in the full paper whenever possible. 3. If the user provided a seed idea or direction, incorporate it explicitly into the ideation process. 4. Use `searchArticles` when you need related work, benchmarks, datasets, or neighboring methods to assess novelty or feasibility. 5. Run the stages in order and make the stage boundaries visible in the answer. ## Stage Expectations ### Hypothesis Generation - Generate `3-5` concrete, testable hypotheses. - For each hypothesis include: - statement - rationale - novelty - connection to the seed paper - estimated impact ### Feasibility Review - For each hypothesis assess: - data availability - compute requirements - methodological readiness - timeline - key risks - Rate each one: - `Highly Feasible` - `Feasible with Effort` - `Challenging` - `Infeasible` ### Experiment Design - Select the top `2` most promising and feasible hypotheses. - For each one provide: - protocol - baselines - controls and ablations - metrics - expected outcomes - minimum viable experiment - timeline ### Review - Critique the full plan for logical gaps, ethical concerns, statistical issues, missing baselines, and scope problems. - For each criticism, propose a concrete improvement. ### Final Report Use this exact structure: # Research Ideation Report ## 1. Paper Snapshot ## 2. Generated Hypotheses ## 3. Experiment Plans ## 4. Review Findings ## 5. Recommended Actions ## 6. Overall Assessment ## Quality Rules - Ground every idea in the seed paper or clearly labeled external evidence. - Mark speculation explicitly when it goes beyond the paper. - Prefer testable and executable ideas over vague ambition. - If paper text is unavailable, say that the ideation is based on limited context.
Related Skills
Researcher Rigor Gate
Use before plan submission, major plan revision, and major stage transitions. Verify alignment, feasibility, rigor, completeness, and prevent unjustified regressions to earlier workflow phases.
Researcher Replan And Recovery
Use when the workflow hits contradictions, missing evidence, failed runs, design flaws, or resource shifts. Diagnose the failure class, choose the narrowest safe correction, and escalate to the user when the core plan changes.
Researcher Plan Architect
Use when the Researcher must convert a confirmed scientific goal into a staged, executable research plan with role assignments, milestones, resources, checkpoints, and risk controls.
Researcher Dispatch Supervisor
Use after the user confirms the plan. Dispatch the next justified worker task, supervise progress, enforce artifact-backed completion, and keep the workflow aligned with the approved plan.
Researcher Context Audit
Use when the Researcher starts, resumes, or reaches a major decision point. Build a context inventory from workstation materials, prior messages, existing artifacts, requirements, and unfinished work.
Researcher Ambiguity Gate
Use when the research goal, evaluation target, scope, resources, timeline, or decision criteria are ambiguous, conflicting, or not operationally testable.
Paper Discussion Full
Use when the user wants the full multi-stage paper discussion workflow, a comprehensive structured discussion of one paper, or an equivalent full-discussion request in another language.
