yogsoth-ai Theory Identification
Identify theoretical frameworks relevant to a research gap, providing a theoretical basis for mechanism extraction.
HARD-GATE
Not satisfied → stop, return error: missing gap description or domain tags.
Pipeline
- Precheck: verify completeness of the gap description and domain tags
- Literature scan: search for theoretical literature relevant to the gap (literature-engine + web-browsing)
- Theory screening: keep theories directly or indirectly relevant to the gap (≥3, remove purely methodological literature)
- Core claim extraction: distill a 1-2 sentence core_claim for each theory
- Applicability assessment: assess each theory's explanatory power for the current gap (high/medium/low)
- Output a structured theory list

Minimum 3 entries, maximum 8 (sorted by applicability descending).
