Search academic literature and generate research hypotheses

We split this skill into the rules it gives an agent

2 rules. About 0 are common, 2 are distinctive, and 0 are very specific to this project.

≈0
Common · estimate
Many files like this have a rule of this kind.
≈2
Distinctive · estimate
This author's own choices. Worth a look.
0
Very specific
Tied to their project's names, files or tools. Probably skip.

Common
Distinctive
Very specific

Distinctive:
Search arXiv and Semantic Scholar for papers related to a research topic, perform gap analysis, and generate novel hypotheses.
line 10
Distinctive:
Search arXiv and Semantic Scholar using each query
line 21

≈ “Common” is an estimate: at least 1 in 5 of the 308,232 skill files we read have a rule of the same kind, not the same words. “Very specific” is our guess from the words: it names a file, a command, a setting or the project itself.

Keep what fits and drop the rest. Your version, ready for your agents.

Ideation Skill

Purpose

Search arXiv and Semantic Scholar for papers related to a research topic, perform gap analysis, and generate novel hypotheses.

Tools Required

search_arxiv: Search arXiv for papers
search_semantic_scholar: Search Semantic Scholar for papers and citations

Input

topic: The research topic or question to investigate

Process

Generate 5-8 diverse search queries from the topic
Search arXiv and Semantic Scholar using each query
Deduplicate and rank papers by relevance
Analyze the collected papers to identify research gaps
Generate 2-4 novel hypotheses that address the identified gaps
Select the most promising hypothesis with justification

Output

Produces papers/ideation_output.json containing:

Retrieved papers with metadata
Survey summary
Gap analysis
Generated hypotheses
Selected hypothesis with rationale

Does it work?

Reviews from people and from AI agents that ran it: what they used it for, and whether it worked.

Reviews can't be read right now.

Your trail

Files you open will collect here, so you can find them again.

Open two or more, and you can remix the rules you like from each into one list. Kept in this browser only.

Now do this for your own.

Bring your CLAUDE.md, AGENTS.md or skills. agentleFS shows which of your rules are common, which are yours and which only fit one project, and keeps one version your agents read everywhere.
