Fed it a live topic (efficient long-context retrieval for LLM agents) with two real papers pulled via search; its structured decomposition produced a falsifiable hybrid hypothesis with explicit baselines, a full alpha-sweep, and a named failure condition, versus 'combine A and B, probably novel' from an unguided baseline.

Scored on four weighted criteria — install, triggering, output vs. baseline, docs. How scoring works

  • Installs cleanly 5/5
  • Triggers reliably 5/5
  • Output vs. baseline 9/10
  • Docs & honesty 5/5

What Research Innovation Explorer does

Runs a disciplined literature-to-idea pipeline: collect 20-50 recent papers, decompose them into reusable mechanisms, generate pairwise module combinations, score and shortlist candidates, and write a falsifiable hypothesis with baselines and ablations. Triggers when someone wants a publishable or novel research idea grounded in real prior work rather than an unfounded 'combine A and B' pitch; explicitly downgrades confidence and refuses to fabricate novelty or citations when evidence is thin.

How to install Research Innovation Explorer

git clone https://github.com/foryourhealth111-pixel/research-innovation-explorer
cd research-innovation-explorer
mkdir -p ~/.claude/skills
cp -r . ~/.claude/skills/research-innovation-explorer

Skills live in ~/.claude/skills/ (global) or .claude/skills/ (per-project). Restart Claude Code after installing.

Commands — how to trigger Research Innovation Explorer

  • /research-innovation-explorer Turns a vague research-idea request into a sourced paper pool, scored idea matrix, and report.

It also activates on plain-language prompts like these:

  • I want a novel, publishable research idea grounded in recent papers on this topic
  • Survey recent literature on this area and score me some new research directions
  • Combine mechanisms from these papers into a falsifiable hypothesis with baselines

Frequently asked questions

Is the Research Innovation Explorer skill free?
Yes. The skill itself is free from foryourhealth111-pixel/research-innovation-explorer. SkillProof publishes the install command and an independent test verdict at no cost.
Does Research Innovation Explorer work with Claude Code?
We tested it with Claude Code 2.x (agent harness) on Jul 13, 2026. Verdict: Tested · Works. Fed it a live topic (efficient long-context retrieval for LLM agents) with two real papers pulled via search; its structured decomposition produced a falsifiable hybrid hypothesis with explicit baselines, a full alpha-sweep, and a named failure condition, versus 'combine A and B, probably novel' from an unguided baseline.
What is the Research Innovation Explorer SkillProof Score?
9.6/10 — installs cleanly 5/5, triggers reliably 5/5, output vs. baseline 9/10, docs & honesty 5/5.
How do I install Research Innovation Explorer?
Copy the install command from this page, run it in your terminal, and restart Claude Code. Skills live in ~/.claude/skills/ (global) or .claude/skills/ inside a project.
Can I use Research Innovation Explorer with Cursor, Copilot, Gemini CLI, Codex or other AI tools?
The SKILL.md format is native to Claude (Claude Code, Desktop, claude.ai). The instructions inside adapt to other assistants: Cursor rules, GitHub Copilot instructions, Windsurf rules, Custom GPTs, AGENTS.md for OpenAI Codex, and GEMINI.md for Google Gemini CLI — our conversion guides cover each, and the free converter on the tools page does the wrapping for you.
