CN Thesis Research Design

This skill uses a router plus manifest architecture. Do not apply the research-design workflow from memory.

Routing Protocol

1. Read manifest.yaml.
2. Read every path listed in always_load.
3. Detect the axis values from the user request:
   • degree_level: master, doctoral, professional, or undergraduate.
   • discipline: life-sciences, computer-science, humanities-social-sciences, engineering, or generic.
   • thesis_type: empirical-experimental, mechanism-hypothesis, method-protocol, engineering-system, review-synthesis, or case-text-analysis.
   • language: zh, en, or bilingual.
   • design_mode: method-selection, experimental-design, validation-plan, or ethics-risk.
4. Read only the fragments mapped to the detected values.
5. State the detected values in one short line before the main answer.
6. Run static/core/workflow.md end to end.
