Skills

Skill	Description
hypothesis	Generate falsifiable research hypotheses from notes and documents
validation	Design experimental protocols to test each hypothesis
draft	Write an IMRaD-structured paper draft
figure	Generate matplotlib / Mermaid visualization code
stats	Detect statistical errors and logical fallacies
counterargument	Generate devil's advocate critiques
peer-review	Simulate journal peer review (EIC + 3 reviewers)
synthesis	Surface cross-cutting themes and insights
wiki-sync	Sync notes into a structured wiki knowledge base

Usage

Once installed, these skills activate automatically when you ask Claude to perform research tasks:

"Generate hypotheses from my notes"
"Write a paper draft based on this research"
"Give me a peer review of this draft"
"What are the weaknesses in my argument?"

Recommended Workflow

Skills are designed to chain together across a full research pipeline:

┌─────────────┐
│  Raw Notes  │  (your Markdown files, PDFs, clippings)
└──────┬──────┘
       │
       ▼
┌─────────────┐     ┌──────────────┐
│  wiki-sync  │────▶│  synthesis   │  Organize & surface cross-cutting themes
└─────────────┘     └──────────────┘
       │
       ▼
┌─────────────┐
│ hypothesis  │  Generate falsifiable research questions
└──────┬──────┘
       │
       ▼
┌──────────────┐    ┌────────┐
│  validation  │───▶│ figure │  Design experiments + visualize data
└──────────────┘    └────────┘
       │
       ▼
┌───────┐    ┌───────┐
│ stats │    │ draft │  Validate claims + write IMRaD paper
└───────┘    └───┬───┘
                 │
                 ▼
    ┌─────────────────────┐
    │ counterargument      │  Stress-test before submission
    │ peer-review          │
    └─────────────────────┘

Quick start chain (copy-paste into Claude):

1. "sync my notes into a wiki"           — organize notes into wiki
2. "generate hypotheses from my notes"   — generate hypotheses
3. "design experiments for each hypothesis" — design experiments
4. "validate my stats"                   — validate any stats
5. "write the paper draft"               — write the draft
6. "peer review this draft"              — simulate review
7. "generate counterarguments"           — stress-test before submission
