Summary

Use when the user asks to write or draft a PhD / doctoral research proposal, research plan, 研究计划书, or 开题报告 — a forward-looking plan of background, gap, research questions, methodology, timeline, and significance, in English or Chinese. Triggers: "write a research proposal", "PhD

1	# Research Proposal Generator
2
3	Generate a forward-looking academic research proposal — a plan for research not yet done — following flagship academic writing conventions, in English or Chinese.
4
5	This skill produces the first draft correctly, not a template to be fixed later. Its single most important discipline is citation integrity: a proposal with a fabricated reference is an academic-integrity problem, not a style problem. Read [references/CITATION_INTEGRITY.md](references/CITATION_INTEGRITY.md) before Phase 2.
6
7	## Core Principles
8
9	Prose first. Proposals read as flowing, connected paragraphs — not bulleted lists. Reserve lists for a focused set of research questions/objectives (2–4 items) and timeline milestones. Never enumerate contributions, methodology, background, or significance as bullets; narrate them. Full rules and examples: [references/WRITING_STYLE_GUIDE.md](references/WRITING_STYLE_GUIDE.md).
10
11	Every citation verified before it is committed. Reference count follows the argument, never a quota — there is no minimum. A PhD proposal typically cites 25–50 sources (humanities often more); a tightly argued 25 beats a padded 45. Every reference must exist (DOI/PMID/arXiv resolves, or Zotero metadata), with author and year matching the source, before it enters the proposal. Unverifiable references are flagged `[UNVERIFIED]` and disclosed — never fabricated. See [references/CITATION_INTEGRITY.md](references/CITATION_INTEGRITY.md).
12
13	Write with verification, not one-shot. Draft section by section; verify each section's citations before moving to the next (Phase 4). Do not generate a full multi-section proposal with dozens of citations in a single pass — that is the structural cause of hallucinated references.
14
15	Hedge to the evidence. Use tentative language ("aims to", "may", "is expected to") for proposed work and uncertain claims; state well-established facts plainly. Do not over-claim ("will prove", "revolutionize").
16
17	Avoid the LLM tells. These phrases are AI-detector signatures — strip them: "Over the past decade, X has emerged as…", "In recent years,", "It is worth noting that", "plays a crucial/pivotal role", "has garnered significant attention", "delves into", "a testament to". Write specific openings grounded in the actual field instead of generic scene-setting.
18
19	## Scenario Routing
20
21	The default structure below targets PhD/doctoral proposals and academic research plans (Abstract → Introduction → Literature Review → Methodology → Timeline → Significance). Confirm the scenario in Phase 1 and adapt:
22
23	\| Request \| Structure \|
24	\|---\|---\|
25	\| PhD/doctoral proposal, research plan, 研究计划书 \| Default structure (this skill) \|
26	\| 开题报告 (thesis proposal / defense) \| Default structure, but weight Literature Review and feasibility/existing-basis more heavily; keep methodology concrete \|
27	\| Humanities dissertation proposal \| Default + a Chapter Outline section (see [references/DOMAIN_TEMPLATES.md](references/DOMAIN_TEMPLATES.md)) \|
28	\| 基金申请书 / 国自然 / NSF grant \| Different structure (立项依据 / 研究内容与目标 / 研究方案与可行性 / 研究基础与工作条件 / 经费预算). Tell the user the default 5-section template is not a grant form; adapt headings to the funder's required template and confirm with the user before writing \|

32	## Phase 1: Requirements Gathering
33
34	Use `AskUserQuestion` to collect:
35
36	- Research topic / question — core problem to investigate.
37	- Scenario — PhD proposal / 开题报告 / research plan / grant (routes structure, see above).
38	- Academic domain — STEM (and whether computational/ML — see [references/DOMAIN_TEMPLATES.md](references/DOMAIN_TEMPLATES.md)), Humanities, or Social Sciences.
39	- Output language — English or 中文.
40	- Target word count — default ~3,000 words; range 2,000–4,000 (humanities may extend to ~10,000).
41	- Optional — target institution/supervisor; existing materials or a Zotero library to draw on.
