thesis

The research lifecycle for a master's thesis or paper: research question and proposal, multi-source literature search, structured paper notes, a verified BibTeX bibliography, citation verification with a hook that catches invented keys as they are written, argument-first literature synthesis, research design and design science, statistics planning and reporting, PRISMA systematic reviews, citation-graph expansion, reproducible experiments and benchmark reporting, section-by-section academic writing, LaTeX and Word toolchains, publication figures, an examiner-style reviewer and a paper critic, proofreading, supervisor updates, a research log, and progress tracking.

  • research-methodologyChoose and justify a research design for each research question: controlled experiment, quasi-experiment, case study, survey, interview study, design...
  • research-questionTurn a rough thesis topic into a defensible research question by interviewing the student one question at a time: narrowing scope, naming the gap, fixing...
  • statistics-advisorPlan and check the statistics for an empirical study: choose the test from the design and data type, check assumptions and pick the robust alternative...
  • supervisor-updateTurn the research log and recent work into a concise supervisor update or meeting agenda: progress since the last meeting with evidence, decisions taken...

Agents (2)

  • paper-criticUse this agent to read one paper adversarially: it separates what the paper claims from what its evidence supports, finds methodological holes (weak...
  • thesis-reviewerUse this agent to get an examiner's read of a thesis chapter or full draft before the supervisor or committee sees it: it checks whether the research...

Commands (3)

  • research-logAppend a dated entry to the thesis research log (RESEARCH_LOG.md) recording what was read, done, decided, and what comes next, pulling the day's evidence...
