skill-research-question-validator

Fast research question validity check using Consensus. Runs 4-5 targeted searches to assess whether a proposed research question is novel, saturated, or somewhere in between — with evidence. Returns a structured Word document (.docx): novelty signal, evidence density, what the literature shows, gap quotes, and a recommended next step. Trigger when the user asks: "Is this research question novel?", "Has this been done before?", "Is there a gap in the literature on X?", "Is [X] already saturated?", "Validate my research question", "Check for prior work on X", "Is this worth pursuing?", or any phrasing where the user wants a go/no-go answer before committing to a full review or grant application. Do NOT trigger for full literature reviews (use literature-review-helper), grant opportunities (use consensus-grant-finder), or simple one-off paper searches.
