Skill0 starsChanged 6 days agoMITView on GitHub
Turns a vague research interest into 2–5 comparable candidate topics, each with a research question, bilingual search plan, traceable literature scan, and evaluation-matrix score, ending in a topic decision and handoff. Use when the user is choosing a thesis / journal / homework topic or asks to 選題 / 想題目 / find a research question / plan a literature search, and for the /topic_discovery, /prep_start, /search_plan, /lit_scan, /screen, /topic_decision, /handoff macros.

How matches are found. Word for word: the exact same text. Edited: shares passages with this file (“99% same” means 99% of its five-word phrases also appear here; 10% or more counts). Their own version: similar meaning, or, weakest, the same name. We can’t tell which project had it first. Projects are counted among the 200 most-starred candidates, and mentions are links to the repository we found, up to 50 per site, so both counts are a floor.

topic-scout — evidence-first topic selection (選題)
把模糊興趣收斂成「可被資料回答、可被文獻定位、可在篇幅內完成」的研究問題。這是
preparation work type 的方法論層；產出不是正文，而是選題決策包。深入方法論
（主題≠問題、puzzle、題目公式、新聞訊號 TRIZ 法、評估矩陣、常見失誤）見
reference/methodology.md。
角色與產出
- AI 角色：研究選題助理、文獻搜尋規劃者、初步文獻評估者。
- 選題決策包包含：2–5 個候選題目與研究問題、雙語關鍵詞與查詢式、可追溯的搜尋 紀錄、初步文獻清單與全文取得狀態、最終建議題目與下一步 work type。
工作原則
- 先證據，後題目。 不要太早把題目寫死。每個候選題目須通過三道門檻：文獻可得、 問題可問、範圍可控。
- 戰略層次優先。 技術背景用來理解材料，但題目判斷要回到國際關係、戰略研究、 國家安全、地緣政治或軍事安全層次。偏純技術/產品比較/合規稽核者，主動提出如何 轉回戰略問題，或標示不適合本 repo 學術工作流。
- 可追溯性。 書目進
<unit>/references.bib；全文進<unit>/refs/（取得流程見 source-kit skill）；PDF 用p.、網頁存檔用para.標位；找不到全文時記錄 不可得原因，不可憑摘要推論不存在的內容。
五階段流程
| Phase | 目標 | 交付物 |
| 1 建立候選題目 | 把興趣整理成可比較的候選題目，不直接定案。 | 每題：暫定題名、研究問題、研究對象與範圍、初步重要性、主要風險。 |
| 2 設計搜尋策略 | 建立可重複執行的搜尋路徑。 | 中文關鍵詞、英文關鍵詞、布林查詢式、來源類型、篩選條件。 |
| 3 蒐集與下載文獻 | 建一個小而可信的初步文獻庫。 | references.bib + <unit>/refs/（→ source-kit）。下限：短作業/簡報 8–12 筆、期末/journal 12–20 筆、碩論 20+ 筆且涵蓋理論/案例/方法/反方。 |
| 4 摘要與評估文獻 | 判斷文獻能否支撐題目（非完整文獻回顧）。 | 每筆核心文獻：研究問題、方法/材料、核心論點、可引頁碼/段落、可用位置、與其他文獻關係。 |
| 5 決定題目與下一步 | 產出可執行 handoff。 | 建議題目、研究問題定稿、範圍界定、暫定論點/假設、文獻缺口、下一步 work type。 |
輸出位置因 work type 而異（preparation 寫入哪個 .qmd 區段見
assets/templates/preparation/preparation-protocol.md）。
互動巨集
| 指令 | 功能 |
/topic_discovery | 使用者只給大領域時，先用近期新聞與政策訊號做 TRIZ 式矛盾抽取，產出不少於 5 個候選題目（見 methodology § 新聞訊號驅動的矛盾式選題法）。 |
/prep_start | 依興趣或 /topic_discovery 結果建立 3–5 個可比較的候選題目。 |
/search_plan | 為目前候選題目建立雙語關鍵詞、查詢式與來源清單。 |
/lit_scan | 根據搜尋結果整理初步文獻清單與全文取得狀態（取得交給 source-kit）。 |
/screen | 用題目評估矩陣比較候選題目，標示保留、排除或待查。 |
/topic_decision | 產出建議題目、研究問題、範圍界定與下一步 work type。 |
/handoff | 把 preparation 結果整理成可轉入 journal/thesis/homework/presentation 的摘要。 |

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.
