About this skill
What It Solves
Graduate proposal preparation often stalls on vague topics, literature reviews that describe without critique, weak methods, and unexpected defense questions. This skill breaks the process into actionable steps and reviews the project from both supervisor and defense-committee perspectives.
How It Works
It supports five modes: mode = topic evaluates research interest, discipline, and preliminary keywords; mode = writing guides chapters such as background, literature review, content, methods, contribution, schedule, and references; mode = review scores topic value, literature review, design, innovation, and formatting; mode = defense simulates three committee members with different questioning styles and gives final feedback. It can read PDF, Markdown, and txt files, or work from pasted text and interactive questions.
Boundaries
It is best suited to humanities and social science proposals, emphasizing GB/T 7714 citation, theory frameworks, and qualitative/quantitative methods. It does not replace institutional templates, advisor feedback, or official review. For engineering, CS, or data-heavy projects, add discipline-specific norms and validation details.
Use Cases
- Topic stage: turn a vague research direction into an evaluatable topic with value, feasibility, and novelty checks.
- Proposal writing: fill in background, literature review, research methods, and schedule chapter by chapter.
- Pre-defense: simulate three committee questions and test concept definitions, method limits, and backup plans.
- Report review: score topic value, literature review, research design, innovation, and academic formatting.
Best For
- Humanities and social science master's students preparing proposals who need stronger topic and method argumentation.
- PhD students writing proposals who need literature reviews to move from listing sources to critical analysis.
- Graduate students before defense who need to practice committee questions and prepare targeted answers.
- Research students drafting humanities papers who need checks for `GB/T 7714` references and academic style.
