yogsoth-ai Sub-Question Generation
Decompose a main research question into independently answerable sub-questions.
HARD-GATE
Pipeline
- Precheck: Does the main RQ truly need decomposition (complexity judgment)
- Dimension identification: Identify the independent dimensions within the main RQ
- Decomposition strategy selection: By causality / variable / condition / hierarchy / temporal order
- Sub-question generation: Generate a sub-question for each dimension
- MECE check: Mutually exclusive and collectively exhaustive
- Independence argument: Each sub-question can be studied independently
- Coverage check: Combined sub-question answers = main question answer
- Output: Sub-question list + independence argument + coverage argument
Output Format
Main RQ: [main question]
Decomposition strategy: [selected decomposition strategy]
Sub-questions:
1. [sub-question 1] — Independence: [argument]
2. [sub-question 2] — Independence: [argument]
