Overview

This skill chains sub-skills into a single automated pipeline:

/aris-research-lit → /aris-idea-creator → /aris-novelty-check → /aris-research-review → /aris-research-refine-pipeline
  (survey)      (brainstorm)    (verify novel)    (critical feedback)  (refine method + plan experiments)

Each phase builds on the previous one's output. The final deliverables are a validated IDEA_REPORT.md with ranked ideas, plus a refined proposal (refine-logs/FINAL_PROPOSAL.md) and experiment plan (refine-logs/EXPERIMENT_PLAN.md) for the top idea.
