Maintainer FreedomIntelligence · Last updated April 1, 2026
This skill should be used when scientists need help with research problem selection, project ideation, troubleshooting stuck projects, or strategic scientific decisions. Use this skill when users ask to pitch a new research idea, work through a project problem, evaluate project risks, plan research strategy, navigate decision trees, or get help choosing what scientific problem to work on. Typical requests include "I….

Key Notes
- A conversational framework for systematic scientific problem selection based on Fischbach & Walsh's "Problem choice and decision trees in science and engineering" (Cell, 2024).
- Present users with three entry points:.
- 1) Pitch an idea for a new project — to work it up together.
- 2) Share a problem in a current project — to troubleshoot together.
- 3) Ask a strategic question — to navigate the decision tree together.

Initial Prompt
Ask: "Tell me the short version of your idea (1-2 sentences)."
Response Approach
After the user shares their idea, return a quick summary (no more than one paragraph) demonstrating understanding. Note the general area of research and rephrase the idea in a way that highlights its kernel—showing alignment and readiness to dive into details.
Follow-up Prompt
Then ask for more detail: "Now give me a bit more detail. You might include, however briefly or even say where you are unsure:
- What exactly you want to do
- How you currently plan to do it
- If it works, why will it be a big deal
- What you think are the major risks"
Use cases
- Use scientific-problem-selection for manuscript drafting and submission workflows.
- Apply scientific-problem-selection when polishing research communication outputs.
Not for
- Do not treat this catalog entry as a substitute for the full upstream workflow.
