Research ideas challenged before you choose.
Guides researchers through generating, challenging, and prioritizing candidate research directions while preserving uncertainty and decision rationale.
When to use it
Use for early-stage research brainstorming or prioritizing candidate directions, not empirical validation or professional approval.
Give it a focal research question; it guides independent contributions, discussion, evaluation, and next-step decisions with a recorded rationale.
What you provide
Python 3.11+ enables the optional bundled local CLIs; they use only the standard library.
