Research Pipeline Planner

Use this skill when the user needs to define or revise the project-level research pipeline.

Goals

• clarify the research topic, target venue, and expected contribution
• set or revise the starting stage
• update `.pipeline/docs/research_brief.json`
• update `.pipeline/tasks/tasks.json`

Working Rules

1. Read `instance.json`, `.pipeline/docs/research_brief.json`, and `.pipeline/tasks/tasks.json` first if they exist. 2. Keep the pipeline aligned with the five stages: survey, ideation, experiment, publication, promotion. 3. When the user already has results or a draft, move the starting stage forward instead of rebuilding earlier stages. 4. Do not invent citations, datasets, or experimental outcomes. 5. **When entering ideation stage, use the `research-idea-convergence` skill** to generate candidate directions and let the user choose. Never autonomously decide the research direction. 6. Ensure every stage transition involves a user checkpoint — do not skip stages or auto-advance without user confirmation. 7. **严格线性执行**：任务必须按顺序执行，当前任务未完成前不得跳至下一任务。调研未完成 → 不得进入构思；构思未完成 → 不得进入实验。每个阶段的所有任务 done 后才能进入下一阶段。

Expected Outputs

• a concise research brief with topic, goal, venue, current stage, and stage notes
• a task list with dependencies, suggested skills, and a concrete `nextActionPrompt`
• for ideation: candidate directions presented via `research-idea-convergence` before any `publishable_angle.md` is written
