Use when the user wants to generate and literature-vet a pool of novel, testable research hypotheses for a question or domain. A multi-agent loop: a Generator proposes candidate hypotheses, a LiteratureScout grounds each in real retrieved literature (already known? closest prior work? what gap does it fill?), and a Judge scores them against a fixed rubric and keeps the strong, non-duplicate ones; rounds repeat — mutating toward the open gaps — until fresh rounds stop adding keepers.

What this skill can do

We found nothing in the files we read that matches our rules. That does not prove the skill is safe: see the limits of static scanning.

Install

Paste this into your terminal. It downloads exactly the version we scanned, not whatever is newest.

if [ -e ~/.agents/skills/'hypothesis-gen' ] || [ -L ~/.agents/skills/'hypothesis-gen' ]; then echo 'A skill folder named hypothesis-gen already exists — not replacing it' >&2; false; else d=$(mktemp -d) && git clone --quiet --filter=blob:none --no-checkout 'https://github.com/gaasher/Agent-Loop-Skills' "$d" && git -C "$d" checkout --quiet 'f1169e6db0b0f8a83ced3a18562b7c57e14a748a' -- 'loops/hypothesis-gen' && mkdir -p ~/.agents/skills && cp -R "$d"/'loops/hypothesis-gen' ~/.agents/skills/'hypothesis-gen' && rm -rf "$d"; fi

Codex reads ~/.agents/skills directly. For Claude Code, Cursor, Copilot, Gemini CLI, Antigravity or OpenCode, also link it. For Claude Code: ln -s ~/.agents/skills/'hypothesis-gen' ~/.claude/skills/'hypothesis-gen' (other agents: ~/.cursor/skills, ~/.copilot/skills, ~/.gemini/skills, ~/.gemini/config/skills, ~/.config/opencode/skills). Or install through the finder skill, which does both.
