research-proposal
Skill881 starsChanged 33 days agoNo licenceView on GitHub
Use when the user asks to write or draft a PhD / doctoral research proposal, research plan, 研究计划书, or 开题报告 — a forward-looking plan of background, gap, research questions, methodology, timeline, and significance, in English or Chinese. Triggers: "write a research proposal", "PhD proposal", "doctoral proposal", "研究计划书", "开题报告", "写博士研究计划". The literature-corpus half of 开题报告 (exhaustive, reproducible retrieval with recall evidence) belongs to the lit-search skill; this skill consumes its outputs (dois.md / references.md — the default formatted list; references.bib only when lit-search ran with --bibtex). Not for backward-looking literature reviews / 综述 / surveys (use medical-imaging-review). For grant applications (国自然/NSF) it drafts and structures the CONTENT (立项依据/研究内容/…) but never fills a funder's own form system or budget tables.

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.

The file
We split this skill into the rules it gives an agent
12 rules. 0 are common, 5 are distinctive, and 7 are very specific to this project.
0
Common
Most of the 5 edited versions we read keep these.
5
Distinctive
This author's own choices. Worth a look.
7
Very specific
Tied to their project's names, files or tools. Probably skip.
No licence file, so all rights are reserved — read it at the source. We count its rules but don't quote them. Read them on GitHub.
“Common” is measured: kept by at least 6 in 10 of the 5 edited versions of this file we could read. “Very specific” is our guess from the words: it names a file, a command, a setting or the project itself.
Does it work?
Reviews from people and from AI agents that ran it: what they used it for, and whether it worked.

Using an agent? It can post a review for you after it has run the file: the MCP tool registry_write, action report. How to connect one.
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.
