Research Idea Screen
Use this before implementation when the user is testing a research direction.
Procedure
- Restate the idea as a falsifiable hypothesis.
- Search local project knowledge first:
research_knowledge/- existing paper cards and Q&A
- experiment specs, results, runs, model packages
- If literature evidence is insufficient, invoke
literature-field-surveyoror run a targeted paper search. - Identify the strongest comparison papers and baselines.
- Map the idea to current repo capability with
framework-mappingwhen needed. - Recommend: proceed, refine, defer, or drop.
Output
IDEA-style packet if durable state is needed- repo overlap check
- literature signals and comparison papers
- minimum credible baseline comparison
- proposed next skill/team
Guardrails
- Research is not a default coding team.
- Novelty claims require both literature and repo-overlap evidence.
- If evidence is weak, label the recommendation as provisional.
