What it does
Once installed, the agent takes a broad research topic you give it and works through a structured process: it surveys the landscape via web search, brainstorms candidate ideas (using a secondary reviewer model), checks novelty, and ranks the ideas. It can also plan small pilot experiments with a per-idea and total GPU-hour budget, and can read an optional research wiki if one exists. The skill is a long, multi-phase workflow that depends on other ARIS sub-skills (such as novelty checking and experiment running) that are referenced but not included in this file.
Great for
- Researchers or PhD students looking for publishable directions in a new area
- Teams who want a structured brainstorm followed by a second-opinion review of ideas
- People already using the ARIS research skill set who want the idea stage of a larger pipeline
Skip it if
- Quick one-off brainstorming, since the multi-phase workflow with reviewer agents and pilots is heavy and slow
- Users without Codex or the referenced ARIS helper scripts, because many phases depend on files and tools not in this skill folder
- Anyone expecting a guaranteed-novel idea: ranking is done by an AI reviewer and novelty checks are delegated to other skills, so ideas still need expert verification
Try asking
- “Find research ideas about efficient long-context transformers for my thesis”
- “Brainstorm ideas for what we can work on in federated learning for healthcare”
- “Generate and rank publishable research directions on graph neural networks for molecules”

Ask for the task
No special command needed — the agent reads the skill's description and loads it when your request matches. Try one of the prompts above.
Get better results
- Give a specific research direction rather than a single word, so the landscape survey and ideas are relevant
- Set a pilot budget in the arguments if you want to limit GPU use, for example a lower total GPU-hour cap
- Treat ranked ideas as hypotheses to verify with a literature search and domain expert before investing time
