Scientific Research Brainstorming

About

This skill transforms Claude into a collaborative research partner designed to accelerate the scientific discovery process through structured ideation. By guiding researchers through five distinct phases—from divergent exploration and cross-domain analogies to critical evaluation and synthesis—it helps break through creative blocks, challenge underlying assumptions, and identify novel research gaps. Whether you are developing new methodologies, exploring 'what-if' scenarios, or shifting scales of analysis, this skill provides a domain-aware framework to spark innovative thinking and rigorous study designs based on the Kosmos AI Scientist paper.
