Compatible AgentsThe repository documents support for these agents. The skills may also work with other agents that can load SKILL.md files, but they may need some setup or small changes.

Use this skill

Follow the documented setup, then try a first task.

Give it something to do.

Author’s example

Clarify an early research idea interactively

Uses clarify-research-idea

  • Replace `[一句话描述你的方向]` with a one-sentence description of the research direction.
  • Replace `[论文 / 数据 / 方法想法 / 暂无]` with the materials currently available, or state that none are available.
  • Replace `[算力、数据、时间、设备或其他限制]` with the applicable compute, data, time, equipment, or other constraints.
使用 $clarify-research-idea,进入 guided 模式。

我的初步研究方向是:[一句话描述你的方向]。
我目前已有的材料是:[论文 / 数据 / 方法想法 / 暂无]。
我的现实约束是:[算力、数据、时间、设备或其他限制]。

请先判断 Idea 当前成熟度,只提出一个最高信息量的问题;
如果我不确定,请提供 2–3 个候选方向并说明各自影响;
每轮更新 Working Idea Canvas;
未经我确认,不要冻结任务、核心假设和贡献。
