About hypothesis-generation

hypothesis-generation
Formulates evidence-bounded scientific questions, candidate hypotheses
hypothesis-generation is an agent skill that turns an observation into a transparent set of candidate explanations and tests. It formulates evidence-bounded scientific questions, candidate hypotheses, rival explanations, claims that are causal or only associational, and predictions that could tell rival hypotheses apart. It treats a hypothesis as a proposal to be challenged, not a finding, a fact, a diagnosis or a recommendation. The skill has firm boundaries for sensitive material. Before you use unpublished, sensitive, controlled, personal, proprietary, export-controlled or security-relevant material, it asks you to confirm that you are authorised and that the relevant institutional, funder, publisher, data-use, privacy and AI policies allow it. It asks you to keep such material local unless an authorised person approves a named external destination and data scope, to minimise what you send, and to stop at any human, animal, biosafety, dual-use, data-governance or regulatory gate. It must not place sensitive data in web searches or external AI systems without that authorisation.
