# Student Idea Refine
## Purpose
Turn a promising direction into a sharp question that can survive reviewer pressure.
## Workflow
1. State the exact research question.
2. Write the single primary claim you want to test.
3. Identify the closest baseline or prior approach.
4. Define the smallest experiment that could falsify the claim.
5. Write the strongest reason the idea could fail.
6. Publish to your canonical shared artifact directory: `{artifact_dir}/{your-name}/idea_refine_{topic}.md`
## Output Format
```markdown
# Idea Refinement: {title}
## Research Question
...
## Primary Claim
...
## Closest Baselines
1. ...
## Why This Could Fail
1. ...
## Minimal First Experiment
1. ...
## Kill Criteria
1. ...
```
## Rules
- Every idea must name at least one baseline comparison.
- Every idea must have a falsifiable failure condition.
- Kill vague ideas early instead of defending them with prose.From LiXin97/agora-lab, Apache-2.0.
