Skill instructions
Idea Spark Skill Convert an under-specified research direction into ONE reviewer-defensible Oral-level research proposal — grounded in 1947 ICLR/ICML/NeurIPS papers (2021-2025) — via a 5-phase workflow: retrieve recent literature, diagnose the bottleneck, select + generate a candidate using corpus-derived ideation pattern cards, run it through a quality gauntlet, expand into an idea card. This file is the operational runbook. Design rationale (the 7 design principles, why each contract is shaped this way, removed-check history) lives in references/design-notes.md — read it only when modifying or evaluating the skill, never needed to run it. First-time installation lives in references/setup.md. When to use - "Give me a research idea in {area} I could pursue." / "What's the most impactful next step in this direction?" - "Help me sharpen this vague direction into an Oral-level proposal." - "What's the bottleneck of this problem?" / "Run a novelty audit on this idea." When NOT to use - Cod
