Based on SOC occupation classification
Use when designing the evaluation protocol for a method development project — locks primary metrics, datasets, seeds, statistical tests, and baseline list into an immutable contract
Use when G2 (plan freeze) and G3 (execution readiness) gates have passed — handles all implementation, baseline reproduction, experimentation, and iteration for both Type M and Type D projects; this is Phase 4
Use when research direction is validated (G1 passed) and the project needs method design, analysis framework, evaluation protocol, or story line — this is Phase 3 and must complete before any code or experiments
Reusable protocol for multi-agent discussions that iterate until convergence. Used by results-integration (Phase 5) and paper-writing (Phase 6) to ensure discussions actually resolve issues rather than just noting them.
Use when and ONLY when the user explicitly requests paper writing and G4 (write-ready) gate has passed — handles LaTeX structure, senior-level writing, reference verification, and iterative refinement
Use when Phase 1 (research-direction-exploration) is complete and G1 gate has passed — subjects the research problem to adversarial defense-style questioning, classifies project intent, re-evaluates venue target, and produces a final feasibility ruling before any method design begins

A project that meets Tier C standards but targets a Tier A venue will be rejected. A project that exceeds Tier A standards but targets a Tier C venue wastes effort. This skill keeps project ambition and execution aligned with the target venue at every stage.
Check venue alignment at every gate and periodically during Phase 4 execution.
"Is the identified gap significant enough for [venue]?"
"Does the method/analysis design have enough depth for [venue]?"
"Is the planned experiment scale sufficient for [venue]?"
"Does the evidence package (figures, tables, statistics) meet [venue] standards?"
| Requirement | Tier A | Tier B | Tier C |
|---|---|---|---|
| Baselines | 5–8 strong, recent | 3–5 | 2–3 |
| Datasets | 3–5 | 2–3 | 1–2 |
| Ablation | Full component ablation | Key components | Optional |
| Statistics | CI + significance test | mean ± std | mean ± std |
| Novelty | Clear, significant advance | Solid contribution | Incremental or applied |
| Analysis depth | Multi-angle, comprehensive | Adequate coverage | Focused |
If current progress falls short of venue requirements at any gate:

Match ambition to evidence. Match evidence to venue.
Misalignment in either direction wastes effort.
