research-proposal-interview
Conducts a structured Socratic interview to produce a comprehensive markdown research proposal that handles cascading uncertainty (fixed end-question, branching experiments). Use this skill whenever the user wants to write a research proposal, research plan, study design, experiment plan, thesis proposal, RFC, or "spec out" a research direction — even if they don't explicitly say "interview me." Trigger when the user says things like "help me plan this research", "I want to design experiments for X", "draft a proposal for...", "think through a research direction", or shares a half-formed research idea and asks for help structuring it. The skill interviews the user, challenges their priors with evidence requests and falsifiers, optionally uses sub-agents to explore prior art, and builds the proposal markdown incrementally so context stays clean and the document is always grounded.
research-proposal-structure
Use when an agent needs to produce, update, validate, or normalize a standardized research proposal artifact without running an interview. Defines the canonical structure, confidence-tag semantics, decision logic, and completion checks for proposal.md-style research plans.
