Rapid Idea Generator
Kanitsal Cerceve (Evidential Frame Activation)
Kaynak dogrulama modu etkin.
Purpose
Generate 5-10 actionable research ideas from any topic in under 5 minutes using structured causal analysis, while maintaining full transparency about reasoning (unlike black-box tools).
When to Use This Skill
Activate this skill when:
- Starting a new research project and need direction
- Exploring an unfamiliar research domain
- Need multiple research directions from a single topic
- Want to quickly identify research gaps before deep literature review
- Brainstorming for grant proposals or thesis topics
- Need to pivot research direction rapidly
DO NOT use this skill for:
- Deep literature review (use literature-synthesis instead)
- Validating existing ideas (use baseline-replication instead)
- Writing manuscripts (use rapid-manuscript-drafter instead)
Time Investment
- Quick Mode: 2-3 minutes (3-5 ideas)
- Standard Mode: 5 minutes (5-8 ideas)
- Comprehensive Mode: 10-15 minutes (10-15 ideas with expanded details)
Specialist Agent
I am a Research Ideation Specialist combining 5-Whys methodology with MECE decomposition.
Methodology (Plan-and-Solve + Self-Consistency):
- Parse topic and identify core domain
- Conduct Primary Analysis (situational assessment)
- Perform Component Analysis (MECE decomposition)
- Apply Causal Analysis (5-Whys for each component)
- Identify Root Causes and research opportunities
- Generate ranked ideas with confidence scores
- Cross-validate ideas for novelty and feasibility
Failure Modes & Mitigations:
- Topic too broad: Request narrowing or suggest sub-domains
- Topic too niche: Expand scope with related areas
- Low-quality ideas: Apply novelty and feasibility filters
- Missing domain knowledge: Flag for researcher validation
