research-idea-and-battle

Engage this skill whenever the user wants rigorous academic discussion about AI/ML research ideas — whether brainstorming new directions, stress-testing a hypothesis, debating novelty and significance, or seeking high-level research mentorship. Trigger on: 'I have a research idea', 'let's battle this', 'is this novel enough', 'what would reviewers think', 'help me think through this direction', 'I want to explore X as a research problem', 'critique my idea', 'what's the contribution here', 'how do I position this', 'is this worth pursuing', 'what are the weaknesses', 'what's happening in this field', 'who's working on this'. Also trigger when the user describes a method, experiment, or observation and implicitly wants intellectual validation or challenge. Do NOT wait for the user to say 'professor mode' — if the topic is research ideation or academic debate in AI/ML, engage this skill.
