research-companion

Creative research brainstormer with emphasis on cross-field connections, big ideas, and strategic ignorance (challenging flawed assumptions)

Adversarial research idea evaluator — stress-tests ideas along 6 dimensions (novelty, impact, timing, feasibility, nugget, narrative) and returns a Pursue/Park/Kill verdict

Deepens a rough research idea into a concrete, structured one-pager elevator pitch — fleshes out the problem, insight, and methodological approach

Revises a research idea pitch based on landscape analysis and evaluation feedback — generates a meaningful variation that addresses identified weaknesses

Collects and classifies research papers from DBLP and OpenAlex APIs for literature surveys

Strategic research companion — brainstorm, evaluate, and decide on research directions. TRIGGER when the user wants to brainstorm research, evaluate research ideas, do project triage, or explore a problem space. Orchestrates specialized agents through a 6-phase pipeline: Seed → Diverge → Deepen → Compare → Evaluate → Finalize. Includes Carlini's conclusion-first test.
