Formulate evidence-bounded scientific questions, candidate hypotheses, rival explanations, causal or associational claims, discriminating predictions, measurements, and preregistration-ready analysis plans. Use when turning observations or preliminary findings into transparent, testable research plans without treating hypotheses as facts.

Works with any agent that supports SKILL.md skills.

What this skill can do

Install

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

if [ -e ~/.agents/skills/'hypothesis-generation' ] || [ -L ~/.agents/skills/'hypothesis-generation' ]; then echo 'A skill folder named hypothesis-generation already exists — not replacing it' >&2; false; else d=$(mktemp -d) && git clone --quiet --filter=blob:none --no-checkout 'https://github.com/lilinji/GeneTind-Life-Skills' "$d" && git -C "$d" checkout --quiet '908229c955510a1841b216e8bf58f6b22818d4dc' -- 'skills/hypothesis-generation' && mkdir -p ~/.agents/skills && cp -R "$d"/'skills/hypothesis-generation' ~/.agents/skills/'hypothesis-generation' && 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-generation' ~/.claude/skills/'hypothesis-generation' (other agents: ~/.cursor/skills, ~/.copilot/skills, ~/.gemini/skills, ~/.gemini/config/skills, ~/.config/opencode/skills). Or install through the finder skill, which does both.
