refine-literature-question
From the author
Refine a broad literature review topic, research direction, thesis idea, or fuzzy academic interest into a sharp one-sentence research question. Use when the user is preparing a literature review, thesis proposal, research design, or paper outline and needs to move from a theme like "XX research review" to a concrete "why/how/mechanism" question that can guide literature search and screening.

- literature-reviewaipoch/open-scienceFind, verify, and synthesize scientific literature — from "what's the seminal paper for X" through full multi-source reviews. Covers grounding claims in real retrieved sources, avoiding fabricated citations, handling retractions, and calibrating confidence to evidence strength.Engineering★ 5.4K
- research-questiongaasher/Agent-Loop-SkillsUse when the user has a vague topic or area of interest and wants it sharpened into a few strong, novel, feasible research questions. Drafts candidate questions, scores each against a fixed rubric (Specific, Answerable, Novel, Feasible, Significant) with a light literature/web novelty check, and revises the weakest axis until enough questions clear the bar. Not for grading a full written proposal (use the research-proposal loop), and not for turning a question into testable predictions (use the hypothesis-generation loop).Science★ 177
- deep-researchnahid-sparktales/agent-dispatcherInvestigate an open question properly — frame it as a decision, work from primary sources, sweep from several angles including the disconfirming one, and stop on a rule rather than on fatigue. Use when a question's answer will change what gets built or bought, when the material is unfamiliar or contested, or when someone asks for a recommendation with evidence behind it. Not for looking up a single fact you can confirm in one place, not for mapping the local codebase, and not for judging one source in isolation.Science★ 59
- research-ideationpedrohcgs/claude-code-my-workflowGenerate structured research questions, testable hypotheses, and candidate empirical strategies from a topic, phenomenon, or dataset description. Use when user says "give me research ideas on X", "brainstorm questions about Y", "what could I study with this data?", "I'm looking for a paper idea on...", "generate hypotheses for...". One-shot generation, not multi-turn. For idea-refinement use `/interview-me`.Science★ 1.7K
- research-refinewanshuiyin/Auto-claude-code-research-in-sleepTurn a vague research direction into a problem-anchored, elegant, frontier-aware, implementation-oriented method plan via iterative Gemini review. Use when the user says "refine my approach", "帮我细化方案", "decompose this problem", "打磨idea", "refine research plan", "细化研究方案", or wants a concrete research method that stays simple, focused, and top-venue ready instead of a vague or overbuilt idea.Science★ 18K
- locate-review-research-gapxingtaxueshu/literature-review-skillsLocate a concrete, defensible research gap from a literature review synthesis and convert it into an executable future research direction. Use when the user is writing the conclusion, research outlook, thesis proposal significance, or contribution section and needs to avoid vague phrases like "more research is needed" by connecting question, modules, method limits, contradictions, and a specific next study.Science★ 65
