Research Idea Creator

Generate publishable research ideas for: $ARGUMENTS

Overview

Given a broad research direction from the user, systematically generate, validate, and rank concrete research ideas. This skill composes with /aris-research-lit, /aris-novelty-check, and /aris-research-review to form a complete idea discovery pipeline.

Constants

• PILOT_MAX_HOURS = 2 — Skip any pilot estimated to take > 2 hours per GPU. Flag as "needs manual pilot".
• PILOT_TIMEOUT_HOURS = 3 — Hard timeout: kill pilots exceeding 3 hours. Collect partial results if available.
• MAX_PILOT_IDEAS = 3 — Pilot at most 3 ideas in parallel. Additional ideas are validated on paper only.
• MAX_TOTAL_GPU_HOURS = 8 — Total GPU budget for all pilots combined.
• REVIEWER_MODEL = gpt-5.4 — Model used via Codex MCP for brainstorming and review. Must be an OpenAI model (e.g., gpt-5.4, o3, gpt-4o).

💡 Override via argument, e.g., /aris-idea-creator "topic" — pilot budget: 4h per idea, 20h total.
