description	Capture and expand free-form research thoughts into wiki memory without requiring REF-* structure.

Research Brainstorm

Use when the user wants to capture loose research ideas, hypotheses, questions, claims, outlines, or fragments before they are ready for structured research induction.

Inputs

• Free-form seed prompt or pasted notes.
• Optional topic slug.
• Optional existing wiki links or source summaries.

Procedure

1. Keep the note in brainstorming mode. Do not require REF-*, GRADE, or citation formatting.
2. Separate content into source labels:
   • user-idea for operator-provided material.
   • model-suggestion for generated expansions.
   • citation-backed only when an existing source summary, REF-*, or research-query result supports the statement.
3. Write a wiki note shaped like agentic/code/extensions/research-brainstorming/templates/brainstorm-note.md under .aiwg/kb/brainstorming/<slug>.md.
4. Append a semantic-memory event with memory-log-append when available, or use aiwg kb put brainstorming/<slug>.md for storage.
5. Link obvious concepts, entities, source summaries, syntheses, and prior brainstorms with wiki links.

Output

Return the note path, source-label summary, open questions, and promotion candidates. Do not present speculative suggestions as facts.

Composition

This skill composes with kb-ingest, memory-ingest, memory-log-append, memory-lint, research-query, and induct-research; it does not duplicate those tools.
