Research Idea Screen

Use when a research idea or hypothesis must be screened against literature, current repo overlap, existing baselines/runs/specs, novelty risks, comparison papers, and minimum credible experiment direction before coding.

Research Idea Screen

Use this before implementation when the user is testing a research direction.

Procedure

  1. Restate the idea as a falsifiable hypothesis.
  2. Search local project knowledge first:
    • research_knowledge/
    • existing paper cards and Q&A
    • experiment specs, results, runs, model packages
  3. If literature evidence is insufficient, invoke literature-field-surveyor or run a targeted paper search.
  4. Identify the strongest comparison papers and baselines.
  5. Map the idea to current repo capability with framework-mapping when needed.
  6. 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.
