Ideation Skill

Purpose

Search arXiv and Semantic Scholar for papers related to a research topic, perform gap analysis, and generate novel hypotheses.

Tools Required

```
search_arxiv
```
: Search arXiv for papers
```
search_semantic_scholar
```
: Search Semantic Scholar for papers and citations

Input

```
topic
```
: The research topic or question to investigate

Process

Generate 5-8 diverse search queries from the topic
Search arXiv and Semantic Scholar using each query
Deduplicate and rank papers by relevance
Analyze the collected papers to identify research gaps
Generate 2-4 novel hypotheses that address the identified gaps
Select the most promising hypothesis with justification

Output
