ccf-idea-reviewer

name	ccf-idea-reviewer
description	Strictly score, rank, compare, and triage early CCF research ideas with prior-art awareness and venue-fit risk. Use only for explicit idea scoring, score and rank multiple ideas, idea ranking, idea review, acceptance-potential triage, idea评分, 选题评分, 选题排名, 严格评审. Do not polish manuscripts, brainstorm directions, develop a fuzzy idea with no score, or optimize a single idea unless scoring is explicit.

CCF Idea Reviewer

Invocation Controls

CCFA Handoff Mode: PARTIAL (Recommended). Follow metadata.ccf_skill_controls.handoff_question_mode and ../ccf-common/references/handoff-modes.md. Use ../ccf-common/references/routing.md to keep idea scoring separate from idea optimization, manuscript writing, conference scientific review, paper writing review, and rebuttal tasks.

Use this skill only for explicit idea review/scoring/ranking. If the user asks to optimize, develop, concretize, brainstorm, or reshape an idea without asking for scoring or strict review, route to ccf-idea-optimizer or ccf-pipeline-orchestrator by the shared routing rules.

Load ../ccf-common/references/task-modes.md before deciding exploratory, quick, or standard mode. If the user asks for exploration, rescue, brainstorming, or "这个方向还能怎么做" rather than scoring, route to ccf-idea-optimizer. Use quick mode for a short local triage note or one idea's preliminary risk scan. Use standard mode for numeric scoring, multi-idea ranking, novelty-risk diagnosis, target-venue/journal judgment, or investment decisions.

If the user says not to use, disable, skip, or avoid a sibling skill, do not invoke or simulate that skill for the rest of the conversation. Use this skill's local fallback instead: stage-aware verdict, serious-risk list, fixability table, and upgrade/pivot actions without cross-skill execution.

Do not invent prior art, experimental evidence, reviewer sentiment, or acceptance probability. Separate low novelty from unknown novelty, and report confidence independently from score.

Load ../ccf-common/references/review-output-standards.md whenever producing numeric scores, multi-expert panel notes, score-change conditions, or standard-mode reports.

Treat rough ideas, unpublished method details, draft abstracts, and experiment plans as private user data. Load ../ccf-common/references/privacy-and-evidence.md before browsing, using private text in a query, or making evidence/provenance claims.

Core Rule

Review the problem and method only. Do not review prose, section structure, LaTeX, or rebuttal strategy. Act as a strict target-venue or target-journal reviewer: identify the real insight, subtract closest prior work, attack weak mechanisms, and convert every serious deduction into a concrete repair or pivot condition.

No generic reviewer filler is allowed. Every material criticism must name the exact idea claim or mechanism, the evidence or closest work behind the concern, why a strict reviewer would deduct, and what change would alter the score.

Stage awareness is mandatory. A rough seed can score low on current conference readiness while still having good development potential. Do not translate "not ready", "novelty unsearched", "mechanism under-specified", or "overcrowded area" into abandon. Use abandon only when there is no testable central claim and no plausible reformulation after naming at least one attempted rescue route.

Mandatory Review Checklist

In standard mode, complete this checklist before any idea score, ranking, or recommendation. In quick mode, run the local subset and return a compact status.

1. Target venue/journal, venue family, field, and assumptions are explicit.
2. Each idea is normalized into problem, gap, root challenge, insight, method mechanism, expected evidence, and limitation.
3. Literature status is labeled as searched, partially searched, user-provided only, or not searched.
4. Standard mode has a closest-work table from public-safe literature search unless the user forbids browsing or privacy prevents safe queries.
5. Multi-expert roles are applied independently: field expert, method expert, experiment expert, AC/venue expert, and skeptical prior-art expert. Add ethics, systems, theory, user-study, security, or dataset roles only when relevant.
6. All rubric dimensions are scored on 1-5 or marked not applicable with a reason; every score of 3 or below includes deduction, evidence basis, repair condition, and expected score movement.
7. Fatal risks are separated from fixable weaknesses and local refinements.
8. Confidence is reported separately from score.
9. The final recommendation is one of: accept-to-develop, revise, pivot-with-rescue-route, abandon, or needs-literature-search. abandon is reserved for no plausible reformulation, not ordinary weakness.
10. Any optional module transition to ccf-literature-monitor, ccf-literature-searcher, ccf-idea-optimizer, ccf-experiment-designer, or ccf-paper-writer follows the CCFA handoff mode; if denied or disabled, output upgrade actions only.

Load references/strict-idea-review.md in standard mode or whenever the user asks for strict review, novelty diagnosis, or literature-backed scoring. Load references/rubric.md whenever producing numeric scores.

Workflow

1. Identify the user's decision: score one idea, rank several ideas, choose a venue, diagnose rejection risk, check whether the idea is stale, or decide whether to invest.
2. Normalize each idea into a problem-method card. If the idea is too vague to score, infer only fields that are obvious from context and mark the rest as assumptions; ask only when the missing field would change the verdict.
3. Map the venue family and review lens. If the user names a current venue policy, page rule, review form, or target-year criterion, verify the official source before applying it.
4. In standard mode, load references/strict-idea-review.md and search closest literature with public-safe queries. Prefer ccf-literature-searcher when allowed by handoff mode; otherwise use local browsing and the shared source policy. Apply source-quality exclusions. If not searched, cap novelty confidence and state the exact uncertainty.
5. Build the closest-work table and novelty delta before scoring. A novelty claim must say what remains after subtracting the nearest prior work.
6. Load ../ccf-common/references/review-output-standards.md and references/expert-panel.md; produce independent notes from the required expert roles. Each role must include a concrete rejection-grade concern or a reason no such concern exists. Do not force disagreement, praise, or rejection.
7. Load references/rubric.md and score the 10 dimensions. Use references/calibration.md to aggregate, calibrate confidence, apply fatal gates, and choose a recommendation. Include score-change conditions rather than unsupported acceptance probabilities.
8. Convert every major weakness into an upgrade action. Label actions as problem-refinement, method-redesign, novelty-grounding, evidence-design, feasibility-check, venue-switch, pivot, or abandon. For every idea that is not accept-to-develop, include the smallest change that could raise development potential.
9. For multiple ideas, rank by serious-risk-adjusted score after the literature and mechanism scan. Prefer ideas with fewer severe novelty/soundness/evidence risks even if they are less fashionable. If all ideas score low, still identify the best salvageable ingredient in each and the single most promising rescue path overall.
10. If the idea is viable but underdeveloped, follow the CCFA handoff mode before using ccf-idea-optimizer for targeted repair. If the evidence package is the main weakness, follow handoff mode before using ccf-experiment-designer. If a module is denied, stop at verdict, risks, and action queue.

• references/expert-panel.md: Use for role-specific reviewer perspectives and comments.
• references/rubric.md: Use for dimensions, weights, and 1-5 scoring anchors.
• references/calibration.md: Use for weighted scores, fatal gates, confidence, recommendations, and multi-idea tournaments.
• references/source-notes.md: Use when explaining provenance, official criteria, or current literature/venue checks.
• ../ccf-common/references/review-output-standards.md: Use for quantitative feedback, independent panel discipline, score-change conditions, and final output self-check.

If the user asks to improve the idea rather than score it, follow the CCFA handoff mode before switching to ccf-idea-optimizer unless explicitly named. If the user asks mainly for recent-paper monitoring or competitor tracking, route to ccf-literature-monitor; if the user asks for deep related work, route to ccf-literature-searcher. If the user provides a full paper draft and asks for paper review, follow the CCFA handoff mode before switching to ccf-paper-reviewer; if not confirmed, provide only idea-stage caveats.
