Generate ONE reviewer-defensible, implementable research idea with a concrete method and falsification plan from a stated research direction. Use when the user asks for a research idea, novelty analysis, bottleneck diagnosis, or paper-shape suggestion. Skip code review, debugging, and unconstrained brainstorming without research context.
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.
What the file says
# Idea Spark Skill
Convert an under-specified research direction into ONE reviewer-defensible Oral-level research proposal — grounded in 1947 ICLR/ICML/NeurIPS papers (2021-2025) — via a 5-phase workflow: retrieve recent literature, diagnose the bottleneck, select + generate a candidate using corpus-derived ideation pattern cards, run it through a quality gauntlet, expand into an idea card.
This file is the operational runbook. Design rationale (the 7 design principles, why each contract is shaped this way, removed-check history) lives in [references/design-notes.md](references/design-notes.md) — read it only when modifying or evaluating the skill, never needed to run it. First-time installation lives in [references/setup.md](references/setup.md).
## When to use
- "Give me a research idea in {area} I could pursue." / "What's the most impactful next step in this direction?"
- "Help me sharpen this vague direction into an Oral-level proposal."
- "What's the bottleneck of this problem?" / "Run a novelty audit on this idea."
## When NOT to use
- Code review, debugging, refactoring. Summarizing one paper. Cross-decade survey writing.

How to install
mdr add pengqianhan/ai-human-research-os/idea-spark@sha256:e52779eb2a954686The line at the top of this page pins the label git:20260718.fd0049f, 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.
