Turn a vague research direction into a problem-anchored, elegant, frontier-aware, implementation-oriented method plan via iterative Claude review. Use when the user says "refine my approach", "帮我细化方案", "decompose this problem", "打磨idea", "refine research plan", "细化研究方案", or wants a concrete research method that stays simple, focused, and top-venue ready instead of a vague or overbuilt idea.

Collected from public GitHub. Every version is saved exactly as it was and never changes. Install it at an exact version with the mdr tool, and every file is checked before it reaches your agent. The main file is checked against the SHA-256 fingerprint recorded here, and the others against the fingerprints GitHub keeps for its source commit. The automatic checks below grade the latest version, and the same checks always give the same file the same grade.

# Research Refine: Problem-Anchored, Elegant, Frontier-Aware Plan Refinement

Refine and concretize: **$ARGUMENTS**

## Overview

Use this skill when the research problem is already visible but the technical route is still fuzzy. The goal is not to produce a bloated proposal or a benchmark shopping list. The goal is to turn a vague direction into a **problem -> focused method -> minimal validation** document that is concrete enough to implement, elegant enough to feel paper-worthy, and current enough to resonate in the foundation-model era.

Four principles dominate this skill:

1. **Do not lose the original problem.** Freeze an immutable **Problem Anchor** and reuse it in every round.
2. **The smallest adequate mechanism wins.** Prefer the minimal intervention that directly fixes the bottleneck.

How to install

The exact contents, by fingerprint
mdr add wanshuiyin/auto-claude-code-research-in-sleep/research-refine@sha256:9cb8f40b527028e4

The line at the top of this page pins the label git:20260710.c3f9813, which is what most people want. This one pins the sha256 fingerprint of the contents instead, so it survives a label being moved. Either way the exact version is written to mdr.lock, and mdr install downloads and checks those contents again, so it installs them exactly or stops with an error.
