Transmute

Turn base knowledge (papers) into gold (experiment ideas). Bridge the library to the lab.

Arguments

The user provides a research question, experiment name, or topic area.

Steps

1. Search the library: Call mcp__distillate__search_papers with relevant keywords
2. Deep read: For the top 3-5 papers, call mcp__distillate__get_paper_details to read highlights, notes, and key findings
3. Cross-pollinate: Call mcp__distillate__synthesize_across_papers to find common techniques, disagreements, and open questions
4. Bridge to experiments: If a target experiment exists, call mcp__distillate__suggest_from_literature for concrete steering ideas grounded in the papers
5. Extract baselines: Call mcp__distillate__extract_baselines to pull quantitative targets from the papers
6. Propose transmutations: Synthesize 3 concrete experiment modifications:
   • Each references the specific paper(s) that inspired it
   • Include expected impact and confidence level
   • Suggest specific hyperparameters or architectural changes
7. Link: Call mcp__distillate__link_paper to connect relevant papers to the experiment for future reference
