user_requirements.md priority: All user constraints recorded in docs/user_requirements.md (direction preferences, implementation requirements, document format, etc.) take precedence over any default instruction in this skill. Always read that file before generating any output to ensure compliance with confirmed user constraints.

ResearchPilot-Skills Entry Router

Automatically detects the current research phase and directs the user to the appropriate stage skill.

Workflow Overview & Outputs

ResearchPilot-Skills splits a complete academic research project into seven independent stage skills. The current skill is one link in that chain.

Seven-Stage Chain

Commands

Command	Description
/research[START]	Detect current phase and show which skill to use
/research[START] research description	Same, and pass description to Phase A
/research description	Backward-compatible alias for /research[START] description

---

Phase Detection Logic

Check the docs/ directory in this order:

docs/idea_report.md does not exist
  → Not started yet — go to Phase A

idea_report.md exists, does not contain "## Part 2"
  → Phase A in progress

idea_report.md contains "## Part 2", does not contain "## Part 3"
  → Phase B in progress

idea_report.md contains "## Part 3", docs/implementation.md does not exist
  → Phase C complete / Phase D not started

docs/implementation.md exists, docs/dev_log.md does not exist
  → Phase D complete / Phase E not started

docs/dev_log.md exists, docs/manuscripts/ does not exist
  → Phase E: Coding in progress

docs/manuscripts/ exists
  → Phase F: Paper writing in progress

Output Format

━━━━━━━━━━ ResearchPilot Phase Detection ━━━━━━━━━━
Current status: {one-line description of detected phase}
━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━

→ Use `/{skill-name}` to continue.

{If a research description was provided: Description passed to Phase A —
use /research[A]-exploration {description} to start.}

Phase-to-skill mapping:

Phase	Use skill
A: Direction Exploration (not started or in progress)	/research[A]-exploration research description
B: Idea Deepening in progress	/research[B]-idea
C complete, D not started	/research[D]-implementation
D complete, E not started	/research[E]-coding
E in progress	/research[E]-coding
F in progress (iteration)	/research[F]-iteration
G.0 complete, G.1+ in progress	/research[G.1]-method (or the current section)
G.7 review done	/research[G.7]-review
