Questions, answered from the data.

What is the best hypothesis generation skill?

Hypothesis Generation from spacering-net/codeg ranks first of the 224 hypothesis generation skills listed here, with the highest score: its repository has 3.8k GitHub stars, 15 other GitHub owners carry a copy, its SKILL.md loads about 3.6k tokens and it has informational notes only in the automated safety check. Next come Nature Paper Card and Prompt Improver.

Which hypothesis generation skills are official?

1 of the 224 hypothesis generation skills are official, published by the vendor's own GitHub organization: Scientific Problem Selection.

How are these skills ranked?

By Skill Navigator score, which combines the GitHub stars of the skill's repository (shared across that repo's skills and discounted for large collections), how many other GitHub owners carry a copy of the skill, and automated SKILL.md quality checks, minus penalties for safety-check warnings and for each further skill from the same repository. Skills that fail the safety check are not listed.
