research-assistant

Help identify research gaps and formulate research questions from existing literature. Use when the user wants to find a gap in the literature, define a research question, narrow down a topic, or move from a broad area to a specific RQ. Triggers on phrases like "find a gap", "research question", "what's missing in the literature", "narrow my topic", or "define my RQ", "research gap".

Enter Scientific Drafting Mode to build rough, bullet-first material for the master thesis that can be refined later. Use when the user wants to generate initial drafts, brainstorm written content, collect quotes, or produce imperfect first-pass material (not polished prose). Triggers on phrases like "draft this", "rough draft", "drafting mode", "bullet out this section", "first pass", or "let's start drafting".

Enter Sparring Mode to critically challenge the user's academic arguments and reasoning. Use when the user wants to stress-test a research idea, thesis argument, hypothesis, or claim. Triggers on phrases like "challenge me", "spar with me", "what's wrong with this argument", "stress-test this", or "play devil's advocate".
