# Research Idea Creator Generate publishable research ideas for the research direction the user provides. ## Overview Given a broad research direction from the user, systematically generate, validate, and rank concrete research ideas. This skill runs the full pipeline inline: landscape survey → idea generation → feasibility filtering → self-review validation → ranked report. ## Constants - **OUTPUT_DIR = `idea-stage/`** — All idea-stage outputs go here. Create the directory if it doesn't exist. ## Workflow ### Phase 1: Landscape Survey (5-10 min) Map the research area to understand what exists and where the gaps are. 1. **Scan local paper library first**: Check `papers/` and `literature/` in the project directory for existing PDFs. Read first 3 pages of relevant papers to build a baseline understanding before searching online. This avoids re-discovering what the user already knows. 2. **Search recent literature** using WebSearch: - Top venues in the last 2 years (NeurIPS, ICML, ICLR, ACL, EMNLP, etc.) - Recent arXiv preprints (last 6 months) - Use 5+ different query formulations - Read abstracts and introductions of the top 10-15 papers 3. **Build a landscape map**: - Group papers by sub-direction / approach - Identify what has been tried and what hasn't - Note recurring limitations mentioned in "Future Work" sections - Flag any open problems explicitly stated by multiple papers 4. **Identify structural gaps**: - Methods that work in dom
