research-refine

Turn a vague research direction into a problem-anchored, elegant, frontier-aware, implementation-oriented method plan via iterative Gemini 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.

Quality

Content

77%Weight 40%Scale 1-5

Reviews the quality of instructions and guidance provided to agents. Good implementation is clear, handles edge cases, and produces reliable results.

The workflow engineering is excellent: a fully specified, template-driven, bounded review-revise loop with explicit stop conditions, drift handling, and pushback guidance. The weaknesses are length and layout — duplicated instructions and near-identical report templates inflate the file, and everything lives in one monolithic SKILL.md with no bundle files despite several large self-contained template blocks.

Suggestions

Move the large templates (the ~90-line proposal template and the REVIEW_SUMMARY / REFINEMENT_REPORT templates) into references/ files (e.g., references/proposal-template.md, references/report-templates.md) and link them one level deep, which would address both progressive_disclosure and conciseness.

Deduplicate repeated guidance: state the jobId-save/poll/threadId procedure once (Phase 2) and reference it from Phase 4, and consolidate the score-history table and the round-by-round tables that currently appear in both the REVIEW_SUMMARY and REFINEMENT_REPORT templates.

Trim overlapping status reporting: the 'Anchor status / Focus status / Modernity status' bullet set is templated in Steps 5.1, 5.3, and 5.5 — keep it once (e.g., in the user-facing summary) and drop the copies in the file templates.

DimensionReasoningScore

Conciseness

The ~670-line body contains noticeable duplication: the jobId/poll instruction appears verbatim in Phase 2 prose, again as a bolded 'CRITICAL' line, and again in Phase 4; the 9-column score-history table is templated three times; and the REVIEW_SUMMARY and REFINEMENT_REPORT templates repeat near-identical round-by-round tables and status blocks. However there is no concept-padding (no explaining things Claude already knows) and the bulk is operational templates, so it sits between the 'padded sections' (2) and 'mostly efficient but could be tightened' (3) anchors — mostly efficient instructions with clear consolidation opportunities.

3 / 5

Actionability

Fully executable throughout: exact MCP tool names (mcp__gemini-review__review_start / review_status / review_reply_start), a complete reviewer prompt with seven dimensions and explicit weights, named constants (MAX_ROUNDS = 5, SCORE_THRESHOLD = 9), exact output paths, and full copy-paste markdown templates for every output file. Matches the 'fully executable, copy-paste ready, covers common cases' anchor.

5 / 5

Workflow Clarity

The phase sequence 0-5 is diagrammed, numbered, and gated by explicit stop conditions (score >= SCORE_THRESHOLD, verdict READY, no unresolved drift, or MAX_ROUNDS), with a loop-back rule from Phase 4 to Phase 3 and an error-recovery loop that classifies reviewer feedback as valid/debatable/drifting and pushes back using the Problem Anchor. Clear sequence with explicit validation checkpoints and feedback loops — the 5 anchor.

5 / 5

Progressive Disclosure

No references/, scripts/, or assets/ files exist — everything is inlined in one ~670-line SKILL.md, including a ~90-line proposal template and two large report templates that clearly belong in separate reference files. The document is well-sectioned with clear headers (above the 2 anchor), and the shared-references links at ../../shared-references/ are one level deep, but content that should be separate is inline and no in-bundle references exist — anchor 3 rather than 4.

Description

91%Weight 40%Scale 1-5

Based on the skill's description, can an agent find and select it at the right time? Clear, specific descriptions lead to better discovery.

A strong description: it states a concrete transformation and mechanism, and pairs it with an unusually explicit bilingual trigger list. The main weakness is mild adjective padding ('elegant', 'frontier-aware', 'top-venue ready') in place of additional discrete capability statements, and slight trigger overlap with sibling planning skills.

DimensionReasoningScore

Specificity

The description names the domain (research planning) and a concrete transformation with its mechanism ("Turn a vague research direction into a problem-anchored... method plan via iterative Gemini review"), matching the 'several specific actions with minor gaps' anchor. It falls short of 5 because it is one transformation padded with adjective qualifiers ('elegant', 'top-venue ready') rather than the multiple discrete concrete actions the 5 anchor exemplifies.

4 / 5

Completeness

It explicitly answers both questions: what ("Turn a vague research direction into a problem-anchored, elegant, frontier-aware, implementation-oriented method plan via iterative Gemini review") and when ("Use when the user says... or wants a concrete research method"). Both are present with concrete trigger phrases, matching the 5 anchor exactly.

5 / 5

Trigger Term Quality

It quotes six natural user phrases ("refine my approach", "decompose this problem", "refine research plan", plus Chinese synonyms "帮我细化方案", "打磨idea", "细化研究方案"), giving comprehensive coverage including synonyms for the bilingual audience this skill targets. Not 4: no obviously missing common variation.

5 / 5

Distinctiveness Conflict Risk

The Gemini-review mechanism and research-plan refinement niche are distinct, but generic phrases like "refine my approach" and "decompose this problem" carry minor overlap risk with general planning skills and the sibling skills the body references (/idea-creator, /experiment-plan). Mostly distinct with minor overlap — anchor 4, not 5.
