Research Pipeline Planner

Research Pipeline Planner

Use this skill when the user needs to define or revise the project-level research pipeline.

Goals

• clarify the research topic, target venue, and expected contribution
• set or revise the starting stage
• update .pipeline/docs/research_brief.json
• update .pipeline/tasks/tasks.json

Working Rules

1. Read instance.json, .pipeline/docs/research_brief.json, and .pipeline/tasks/tasks.json first if they exist.
2. Keep the pipeline aligned with the five stages: survey, ideation, experiment, publication, promotion.
3. When the user already has results or a draft, move the starting stage forward instead of rebuilding earlier stages.
4. Do not invent citations, datasets, or experimental outcomes.
5. When entering ideation stage, use the research-idea-convergence skill to generate candidate directions and let the user choose. Never autonomously decide the research direction.
6. Ensure every stage transition involves a user checkpoint — do not skip stages or auto-advance without user confirmation.
7. 严格线性执行：任务必须按顺序执行，当前任务未完成前不得跳至下一任务。调研未完成 → 不得进入构思；构思未完成 → 不得进入实验。每个阶段的所有任务 done 后才能进入下一阶段。

Expected Outputs

• a concise research brief with topic, goal, venue, current stage, and stage notes
• a task list with dependencies, suggested skills, and a concrete nextActionPrompt
• for ideation: candidate directions presented via research-idea-convergence before any publishable_angle.md is written
