Develop Research Questions
Guides researchers through developing strong, well-scoped research questions from initial thoughts or ideas. Use this skill whenever a user provides rough ideas, hunches, or early-stage concepts and wants help turning them into a focused, novel, and tractable research question. Also use when a user specifies a submission target (journal, conference, workshop, or call for papers) and needs the question calibrated to that venue's scope, expected contribution type, and audience. Triggers include: "help me develop a research question", "I have an idea for a paper", "I want to submit to [venue]", "what should I research about X", "help me focus my research", "I'm thinking about studying X", or any request to refine, sharpen, or evaluate a research question. Always use this skill even if the user only has a vague hunch — that's exactly when it's most valuable.
