What it does
Research Gap Finder is an agent skill from chtc66/academic-skills. analyze topic coverage, bottlenecks, controversies, and plausible research gaps when the input includes a research topic, a set of papers, or the user's early ideas and the user needs a grounded gap analysis, problem framing, small entry points, or experiment hypotheses without forced novelty claims.
Its SKILL.md is about 290 tokens, which your agent loads only when the skill is triggered. The skill folder holds 5 other files, including reference files (for example `agents/openai.yaml`, `references/gap_analysis_template.md` and `references/problem_framing_template.md`).
The repository describes itself as: Academic workflow skills for paper reading, survey writing, experiment summarization, rebuttal drafting, and weekly lab updates. The licence is MIT.
Example prompts
- “/research-gap-finder”
Workflow steps
4 steps, taken from the first numbered list in SKILL.md.
- 先概括主题和当前输入覆盖范围。
- 参考 references/problem_framing_template.md 把问题边界说清楚。
- 参考 references/gap_analysis_template.md 分析已有覆盖、瓶颈、争议点和潜在 gap。
- 输出小问题切入建议、可验证实验思路和风险提示。
What it can do on your machine
Read from SKILL.md and the folder at commit 126e235. It shows what the files ask for, not the result of running them.
Tool permissions
Pre-approves nothing: there is no allowed-tools line, so your agent's usual permission prompts apply.
From allowed-tools in the SKILL.md frontmatter.
Runs code
No scripts in the folder and no shell commands in SKILL.md.
From the folder's file list and the shell code blocks in SKILL.md.
Network
No URLs in SKILL.md.
From URLs in SKILL.md, links to its own repository left out.
Credentials
Names no API keys, tokens, secrets or passwords.
From names ending in _API_KEY, _TOKEN, _SECRET, _KEY or _PASSWORD in SKILL.md.
Context cost
Research Gap Finder loads about 286 tokens when it runs, and up to ~679 if it reads all its reference files. Until then it costs about 80 tokens; SKILL.md has 57 words of instructions outside code blocks.
Estimates: characters ÷ 4, the usual rule of thumb; real counts depend on the model's tokenizer. Scripts and assets cost tokens only if the agent reads them.
Safety
Auto-check passed
The automated check found no risky patterns in SKILL.md.
Automated static check — not a guarantee. Review scripts before installing. It scans the text of SKILL.md for risky patterns (piping downloads into a shell, reading credential files, hidden Unicode, destructive commands); files beside SKILL.md are not scanned.

Research Gap Finder
用这个 skill 分析一个研究主题的已有覆盖、瓶颈、争议点和潜在 research gap。目标是帮助用户识别真正值得切入的问题，而不是硬造创新点。
工作流
- 先概括主题和当前输入覆盖范围。
- 参考
references/problem_framing_template.md把问题边界说清楚。 - 参考
references/gap_analysis_template.md分析已有覆盖、瓶颈、争议点和潜在 gap。 - 输出小问题切入建议、可验证实验思路和风险提示。
输入处理规则
- 接收研究主题、若干论文、用户已有想法或问题设想。
- 如果论文覆盖很少，先输出“当前只是初步 gap 讨论”，不要直接下创新结论。
- 如果用户已有想法，先判断它更像真正 gap、工程机会、评测缺口，还是阅读不足导致的表面空白。
输出规则
- 默认输出：
- 主题概括
- 已有工作覆盖面
- 常见方法路线
- 当前瓶颈
- 争议点
- research gap
- 可切入的小问题
- 潜在实验验证思路
- 风险提示
- 每个 gap 都尽量说明它为什么尚未被充分覆盖。
- 明确区分“真正的 gap”和“只是文献读得还不够”。
证据与表述约束
- 不要为了给用户灵感而硬造创新点。
- 不要把“还没人做到”作为默认前提。
- 当输入不足时，把 gap 改写成“待进一步核实的潜在切入点”。
何时读引用文件
- 始终读取
references/gap_analysis_template.md。 - 在需要重新定义问题边界或收敛切入角度时读取
references/problem_framing_template.md。
