A multi-agent loop: a Generator proposes candidate hypotheses, a\n LiteratureScout grounds each in real retrieved literature (already known? closest prior work? what\n gap does it fill?), and a Judge scores them against a fixed rubric and keeps the strong,\n non-duplicate ones; rounds repeat — mutating toward the open gaps — until fresh rounds stop adding\n keepers. Not for sharpening or decomposing a research question (no grounding/scoring there), and not\n for grading an existing written proposal against the literature.\ncompatibility: Requires Python 3.9+\nmetadata:\n version: \"0.1.0\"\n---\n\n# Hypothesis Generation Loop\n\nA **multi-agent, literature-grounded** generation loop. The artifact is a growing **pool of\nhypotheses**; the feedback signal is the count of **strong, distinct hypotheses** that clear the bar —\nwhere \"strong\" is decided against real retrieved literature, not assertion. Each round: **generate →\nground → judge → keep → mutate toward the gaps**, until the pool stops growing (saturation).\n\nThe discipline: a hypothesis enters the pool only if the literature says it is **not already\nestablished** (novelty), prior work makes it **plausible** (grounding), and a **feasible test** exists.\nGenerating is not confirming — the output is a ranked set of strong *candidates to test*, each stated\nwith how to test it.\n\nThe cast (all in `roles/`):\n- `roles/Generator.md` — proposes a batch of candidate hypotheses aimed at the open gaps.\n- `roles/LiteratureScout.md` — grounds each candidate in real literature (novelty · support · gap);\n emits `litscout.json` (validates `schemas/litscout.schema.json`).\n- `roles/Judge.md` — scores each against the **fixed rubric** and decides keep/kill/dedupe; emits\n `verdict.json` (validates `schemas/verdict.schema.json`).\n\n**Spawn-or-degrade.** On Claude Code, spawn Generator / LiteratureScout / Judge as real `Agent`\nsubagents each round; otherwise adopt each role inline in this context. You are the orchestrator.\n\n## When to use\nUse when the user wants candidate hypotheses *generated and vetted* for a question or domain. Default:\nrun the full generate→ground→judge loop below until saturation. Escape hatch: if the user only wants a\nsingle batch (no looping), run one round and report the kept hypotheses. Not for sharpening or\ndecomposing a question, and not for grading an existing written proposal.\n\n## Setup\n**Resolve bindings interactively.** If `loop.run.yaml` exists in the working dir, load it, confirm the\nvalues in one line, and skip to the loop. Otherwise: on Claude Code (the `AskUserQuestion` tool is\navailable) infer a likely value for each binding and present it as the recommended option; on other\nhosts ask each as a quoted plain-text prompt. Then write `loop.run.yaml` (format:\n`examples/run.example.yaml`) and confirm every value plus the live/degraded literature tier before\ncreating any other files.\n\n| binding | meaning | default | how to infer |\n|---|---|---|---|\n| `` | the research question / domain, plus any scope (field, population, constraints) | — | ask the user |\n| `` | candidate hypotheses the Generator proposes per round | 6 | — |\n| `` | rubric score (0-100) a hypothesis must clear to enter the pool | 65 | — |\n| `` | LiteratureScout grounding depth (`low`/`medium`/`high`, see below) | `medium` | — |\n| `` | where rounds, ledger, and lit cache live | `./sandbox` | — |\n| `` | max rounds | 6 | — |\n| `` | stop after this many rounds with no new kept hypothesis | 2 | — |\n| `` | final ranked hypothesis set | `/hypotheses.md` | — |\n\n**Grounding depth dial** (`` caps per round — candidates examined deeply · queries each ·\npapers read full-text):\n\n| preset | candidates deep | queries each | fulltext reads |\n|---|---|---|---|\n| **low** | 2 | 1 | 0 (snippet/abstract only) |\n| **medium** *(recommended)* | all | 2 | 1 |\n| **high** | all | 3 | 3 |\n\n**Literature toolchain.** Paper search goes through the sibling **`literature-search` skill** — resolve\n`` (it installs as a sibling, e.g. `~/.claude/skills/literature-search/`),\n` = python3`, and ` = /tools/lit_search.py` (note the `tools/`\nsegment); append `--cache-dir /literature/.cache` after a subcommand to reuse the cache.\nConfirm ` --help` works at setup; if the skill is absent, tell the user and either install it\n(copy the repo's `loops/literature-search` folder into `~/.claude/skills/`) or degrade all retrieval to\nWebSearch/WebFetch (tag that evidence `source:\"web\"`). The keyless S2 + arXiv core needs no setup; a\nfree `S2_API_KEY` makes `snippet`/`cite` reliable.\n\n**API key (optional, never block).** The `literature-search` skill owns the key convention: run\n` keys --init`, then have the user fill the printed `keys.env` themselves and never paste secrets\ninto chat. Re-run ` keys` to record the tier in `loop.run.yaml` (`literature_tiers`, presence\nonly). A missing key just degrades to the keyless pool → WebSearch.\n\n**Initialise the sandbox** once bindings are confirmed:\n```\n/\n├── loop.run.yaml ← resolved bindings + literature_tiers\n├── ledger.tsv ← header only (see Ledger)\n└── literature/.cache/ ← lit_search on-disk cache\n```\nStart with an empty `pool` and `gaps` seeded from ``; create no round files until the loop runs.\n\n## The loop\n`pool` = the kept hypotheses (starts empty). `gaps` = open questions the LiteratureScout has surfaced\n(starts empty; seed from ``). `dry` = consecutive rounds with no new keep (starts 0). ``\nstarts at 1.\n\nCopy this checklist and tick items off:\n- [ ] **Generate** — run `roles/Generator.md` (spawn-or-degrade) with ``, the current `pool`, `gaps`, and ``; it writes `round/candidates.json` (`` specific, testable, plausibly-novel candidates aimed at the gaps, none duplicating the pool).\n- [ ] **Ground** — run `roles/LiteratureScout.md` (spawn-or-degrade) on `candidates.json` with `` and the `` caps; it writes `round/litscout.json` (validates `schemas/litscout.schema.json`) — per candidate: novelty + closest prior work, support, gap, testability, each citing **real** evidence.\n- [ ] **Judge** — as `roles/Judge.md`, apply the fixed rubric + evidence gate to `litscout.json`, checking each candidate against the `pool` for duplicates; write `round/verdict.json` (validates `schemas/verdict.schema.json`): scores, `total`, `keep`, `duplicate_of`.\n- [ ] **Update** — add every `keep:true` non-duplicate to `pool` (with scores + grounding + how-to-test); add this round's `gap` points to `gaps`. If ≥1 new keep, `dry = 0`; else `dry += 1`.\n- [ ] **Log** one ledger row (see Ledger); `N = N + 1`.\n- [ ] **Stop check** — `dry == ` (saturation) or `N > ` → stop (see Stops).\n\n**Re-ground every round** — novelty is judged from a *fresh* literature check each round, never carried\nover, so \"the literature already covers this\" reliably kills a crowded idea. Every cited snippet comes\nfrom a real retrieval that round; on `{\"error\",\"fallback\"}` fall back to WebSearch/WebFetch — never\ninvent a paper.\n\n`schemas/litscout.schema.json` gates the LiteratureScout output — a generic instance:\n```json\n{\"round\": 2,\n \"evaluations\": [{\"hid\": \"r2h1\", \"novelty_assessment\": \"novel\",\n \"closest_prior_work\": [{\"claim\": \"X tested for facts, not skills\", \"cites\": [\"E1\"]}],\n \"support\": [{\"claim\": \"spacing aids motor consolidation\", \"cites\": [\"E2\"]}],\n \"gap\": [{\"claim\": \"long-term procedural retention untested at scale\", \"cites\": [\"E1\"]}],\n \"testability_note\": \"RCT: spaced vs massed schedule, 1-month retention.\"}],\n \"evidence\": [{\"key\": \"E1\", \"title\": \"...\", \"source\": \"s2\", \"id\": \"a1b2\", \"snippet\": \"...verbatim...\"}]}\n```\n`schemas/verdict.schema.json` gates the Judge output — a generic instance:\n```json\n{\"round\": 2,\n \"verdicts\": [{\"hid\": \"r2h1\",\n \"scores\": {\"novelty\": 4, \"grounding\": 4, \"testability\": 5, \"specificity\": 4, \"significance\": 4},\n \"total\": 82.0, \"keep\": true, \"gate_failures\": [], \"duplicate_of\": null,\n \"rationale\": \"Closest work shows X untested for skills -> novel; supported; clean RCT named.\"}]}\n```\n\n## Ledger\n`/ledger.tsv`, tab-separated, never commas in free text. Header:\n```\nround\tgenerated\tkept_new\tpool_size\ttop_kept\n```\nExample:\n```\nround\tgenerated\tkept_new\tpool_size\ttop_kept\n1\t6\t3\t3\tspaced practice aids procedural (not just declarative) retention [82]\n2\t6\t2\t5\tsleep-timed review beats time-of-day-matched review [78]\n3\t6\t0\t5\t-\n```\nPer-round `candidates.json` / `litscout.json` / `verdict.json` live in `round/`. Report the **best**\nstate of the pool when stopping, not just the last round. Leave `ledger.tsv`, `round*/`, and\n`literature/` untracked.\n\n## Constraints\n- **Never fabricate citations or snippets** — every evidence entry is a real ``/WebFetch retrieval\n from that round, verbatim; the evidence gate exists to catch fabrication.\n- **Novelty is decided by the literature, not assertion** — a hypothesis the search shows is already\n established is killed, however appealing; \"I think it's novel\" with no closest-work search caps novelty.\n- **Generate ≠ confirm** — kept hypotheses are strong *candidates to test*, each stated with its test;\n never report them as established findings.\n- **The rubric is fixed** and the keep-bar is stable across rounds, so saturation is a meaningful stop.\n- **Reward distinct hypotheses, not volume** — duplicates and rewordings are cut.\n- **No installs** — the sibling `literature-search` skill is stdlib-only; never print or commit API keys\n (`keys.env` stays gitignored at the project root). The sandbox is self-contained — no `../` escapes.\n- Do not pause the loop to ask whether to continue; run until saturation or budget.\n\n## Stops\nThe loop stops on the first of:\n- **Saturation** — `dry == ` consecutive rounds add no new kept hypothesis.\n- **Budget** — `` rounds reached.\n\nEnd with the **ranked hypothesis set** (`` path) — each hypothesis with its statement, novelty\nassessment + closest prior work (cited), supporting evidence (cited), the gap it fills, and how to test\nit — plus the pool-size trajectory from `ledger.tsv` and the **strongest unexplored gaps**, so the user\nsees both the vetted hypotheses and where a deeper run would look next.\n","tagline":"Use when the user wants to generate and literature-vet a pool of novel, testable research hypotheses for a question or domain.
