README

Excerpt

paper-topic：选题澄清（选题导航器）

帮用户把模糊研究方向一步步引导、逐层具象化，聚焦成一个可研究的研究问题（RQ）。你（执行本 skill 的宿主 agent）做的事：分析问题 → 摆出该方向的客观常见选项 → 用户拍板（选一个 / 都不要自己给）→ 再具象化，沿 5 阶段漏斗逐层收敛，把模糊想法推成一句用户拍板的 RQ；然后产一份只罗列过程、摆事实、不给结论的 HTML 报告，让用户自己决定怎么研究。

本 skill 覆盖学术研究"5 阶段 23 环节"标尺中阶段 A｜选题与立项的环节 1（兴趣 / 领域探索）与环节 2（RQ 形成与聚焦）；不覆盖环节 3 找研究缺口（归 /paper-search）、环节 5 方法论（归 /paper-method）。它是产物型 skill——会往 topic/ 落一份 Markdown 研究问题澄清报告（+ 由脚本渲染的 .html 视图）、往 .paper/ 写使用留痕；无网络依赖，断网宿主照常可用。

核心立场（这条决定本 skill 长什么样）：选题是用户的研究主权所在。系统是一个导航器——主动摆出该方向学界客观常见的事实、结构化成选项、降低新手认知负担，帮用户逐层把自己脑子里那个模糊念头具象化；但绝不替用户判断哪个更好、绝不替用户拍板、绝不替用户成句定稿。这既是项目「核心分工原则」（AI 负责效率，人负责研究决策）在选题环节的落地，也是本 skill 区别于裸模型的核心差异化：裸模型面对模糊方向会忍不住"我建议你研究 X""RQ3 最有价值，选它"，本 skill 只摆"这个方向常见的是哪些"、把选择权和拍板权 100% 交回用户。

三个不变（优先级最高，高于本文其余一切）
