Research Question Validator

Overview

This skill takes a proposed research question and gives the researcher a fast, evidence-grounded answer to: "Is this worth pursuing?"

It runs 4-5 targeted Consensus searches, synthesizes what they return, and delivers a concise assessment as a Word document (.docx) the researcher can save, annotate, and share. The goal is a decision-grade answer before committing hours to a full literature review or grant application.

The output answers three things:

1. Novelty signal — is this saturated, active with gaps, or a genuine gap?
2. Evidence summary — what does the existing literature actually show?
3. Next step — what should the researcher do with this information?
