Formulate evidence-based hypotheses from observations, design experiments, explore competing explanations, and develop predictions. Apply this skill for scientific inquiry across domains.\n\n## When to Use This Skill\n\nThis skill should be used when:\n- Developing hypotheses from observations or preliminary data\n- Designing experiments to test scientific questions\n- Exploring competing explanations for phenomena\n- Formulating testable predictions for research\n- Conducting literature-based hypothesis generation\n- Planning mechanistic studies across scientific domains\n\n## Visual Enhancement with Scientific Schematics\n\n**⚠️ MANDATORY: Every hypothesis generation report MUST include at least 1-2 AI-generated figures using the scientific-schematics skill.**\n\nThis is not optional. Hypothesis reports without visual elements are incomplete. Before finalizing any document:\n1. Generate at minimum ONE schematic or diagram (e.g., hypothesis framework showing competing explanations)\n2. Prefer 2-3 figures for comprehensive reports (mechanistic pathway, experimental design flowchart, prediction decision tree)\n\n**How to generate figures:**\n- Use the **scientific-schematics** skill to generate AI-powered publication-quality diagrams\n- Simply describe your desired diagram in natural language\n- Nano Banana Pro will automatically generate, review, and refine the schematic\n\n**How to generate schematics:**\n```bash\npython scripts/generate_schematic.py \"your diagram description\" -o figures/output.png\n```\n\nThe AI will automatically:\n- Create publication-quality images with proper formatting\n- Review and refine through multiple iterations\n- Ensure accessibility (colorblind-friendly, high contrast)\n- Save outputs in the figures/ directory\n\n**When to add schematics:**\n- Hypothesis framework diagrams showing competing explanations\n- Experimental design flowcharts\n- Mechanistic pathway diagrams\n- Prediction decision trees\n- Causal relationship diagrams\n- Theoretical model visualizations\n- Any complex concept that benefits from visualization\n\nFor detailed guidance on creating schematics, refer to the scientific-schematics skill documentation.\n\n---\n\n## Workflow\n\nFollow this systematic process to generate robust scientific hypotheses:\n\n### 1. Understand the Phenomenon\n\nStart by clarifying the observation, question, or phenomenon that requires explanation:\n\n- Identify the core observation or pattern that needs explanation\n- Define the scope and boundaries of the phenomenon\n- Note any constraints or specific contexts\n- Clarify what is already known vs. what is uncertain\n- Identify the relevant scientific domain(s)\n\n### 2. Conduct Comprehensive Literature Search\n\nSearch existing scientific literature to ground hypotheses in current evidence. Use both PubMed (for biomedical topics) and general web search (for broader scientific domains):\n\n**For biomedical topics:**\n- Use WebFetch with PubMed URLs to access relevant literature\n- Search for recent reviews, meta-analyses, and primary research\n- Look for similar phenomena, related mechanisms, or analogous systems\n\n**For all scientific domains:**\n- Use WebSearch to find recent papers, preprints, and reviews\n- Search for established theories, mechanisms, or frameworks\n- Identify gaps in current understanding\n\n**Search strategy:**\n- Begin with broad searches to understand the landscape\n- Narrow to specific mechanisms, pathways, or theories\n- Look for contradictory findings or unresolved debates\n- Consult `references/literature_search_strategies.md` for detailed search techniques\n\n### 3. Synthesize Existing Evidence\n\nAnalyze and integrate findings from literature search:\n\n- Summarize current understanding of the phenomenon\n- Identify established mechanisms or theories that may apply\n- Note conflicting evidence or alternative viewpoints\n- Recognize gaps, limitations, or unanswered questions\n- Identify analogies from related systems or domains\n\n### 4. Generate Competing Hypotheses\n\nDevelop 3-5 distinct hypotheses that could explain the phenomenon. Each hypothesis should:\n\n- Provide a mechanistic explanation (not just description)\n- Be distinguishable from other hypotheses\n- Draw on evidence from the literature synthesis\n- Consider different levels of explanation (molecular, cellular, systemic, population, etc.)\n\n**Strategies for generating hypotheses:**\n- Apply known mechanisms from analogous systems\n- Consider multiple causative pathways\n- Explore different scales of explanation\n- Question assumptions in existing explanations\n- Combine mechanisms in novel ways\n\n### 5. Evaluate Hypothesis Quality\n\nAssess each hypothesis against established quality criteria from `references/hypothesis_quality_criteria.md`:\n\n**Testability:** Can the hypothesis be empirically tested?\n**Falsifiability:** What observations would disprove it?\n**Parsimony:** Is it the simplest explanation that fits the evidence?\n**Explanatory Power:** How much of the phenomenon does it explain?\n**Scope:** What range of observations does it cover?\n**Consistency:** Does it align with established principles?\n**Novelty:** Does it offer new insights beyond existing explanations?\n\nExplicitly note the strengths and weaknesses of each hypothesis.\n\n### 6. Design Experimental Tests\n\nFor each viable hypothesis, propose specific experiments or studies to test it. Consult `references/experimental_design_patterns.md` for common approaches:\n\n**Experimental design elements:**\n- What would be measured or observed?\n- What comparisons or controls are needed?\n- What methods or techniques would be used?\n- What sample sizes or statistical approaches are appropriate?\n- What are potential confounds and how to address them?\n\n**Consider multiple approaches:**\n- Laboratory experiments (in vitro, in vivo, computational)\n- Observational studies (cross-sectional, longitudinal, case-control)\n- Clinical trials (if applicable)\n- Natural experiments or quasi-experimental designs\n\n### 7. Formulate Testable Predictions\n\nFor each hypothesis, generate specific, quantitative predictions:\n\n- State what should be observed if the hypothesis is correct\n- Specify expected direction and magnitude of effects when possible\n- Identify conditions under which predictions should hold\n- Distinguish predictions between competing hypotheses\n- Note predictions that would falsify the hypothesis\n\n### 8. Present Structured Output\n\nGenerate a professional LaTeX document using the template in `assets/hypothesis_report_template.tex`. The report should be well-formatted with colored boxes for visual organization and divided into a concise main text with comprehensive appendices.\n\n**Document Structure:**\n\n**Main Text (Maximum 4 pages):**\n1. **Executive Summary** - Brief overview in summary box (0.5-1 page)\n2. **Competing Hypotheses** - Each hypothesis in its own colored box with brief mechanistic explanation and key evidence (2-2.5 pages for 3-5 hypotheses)\n   - **IMPORTANT:** Use `\newpage` before each hypothesis box to prevent content overflow\n   - Each box should be ≤0.6 pages maximum\n3. **Testable Predictions** - Key predictions in amber boxes (0.5-1 page)\n4. **Critical Comparisons** - Priority comparison boxes (0.5-1 page)\n\nKeep main text highly concise - only the most essential information. All details go to appendices.\n\n**Page Break Strategy:**\n- Always use `\newpage` before hypothesis boxes to ensure they start on fresh pages\n- This prevents content from overflowing off page boundaries\n- LaTeX boxes (tcolorbox) do not automatically break across pages\n\n**Appendices (Comprehensive, Detailed):**\n- **Appendix A:** Comprehensive literature review with extensive citations\n- **Appendix B:** Detailed experimental designs with full protocols\n- **Appendix C:** Quality assessment tables and detailed evaluations\n- **Appendix D:** Supplementary evidence and analogous systems\n\n**Colored Box Usage:**\n\nUse the custom box environments from `hypothesis_generation.sty`:\n\n- `hypothesisbox1` through `hypothesisbox5` - For each competing hypothesis (blue, green, purple, teal, orange)\n- `predictionbox` - For testable predictions (amber)\n- `comparisonbox` - For critical comparisons (steel gray)\n- `evidencebox` - For supporting evidence highlights (light blue)\n- `summarybox` - For executive summary (blue)\n\n**Each hypothesis box should contain (keep concise for 4-page limit):**\n- **Mechanistic Explanation:** 1-2 brief paragraphs (6-10 sentences max) explaining HOW and WHY\n- **Key Supporting Evidence:** 2-3 bullet points with citations (most important evidence only)\n- **Core Assumptions:** 1-2 critical assumptions\n\nAll detailed explanations, additional evidence, and comprehensive discussions belong in the appendices.\n\n**Critical Overflow Prevention:**\n- Insert `\newpage` before each hypothesis box to start it on a fresh page\n- Keep each complete hypothesis box to ≤0.6 pages (approximately 15-20 lines of content)\n- If content exceeds this, move additional details to Appendix A\n- Never let boxes overflow off page boundaries - this creates unreadable PDFs\n\n**Citation Requirements:**\n\nAim for extensive citation to support all claims:\n- **Main text:** 10-15 key citations for most important evidence only (keep concise for 4-page limit)\n- **Appendix A:** 40-70+ comprehensive citations covering all relevant literature\n- **Total target:** 50+ references in bibliography\n\nMain text citations should be selective - cite only the most critical papers. All comprehensive citation and detailed literature discussion belongs in the appendices. Use `","tagline":"Structured hypothesis formulation from observations.
