Skill UI

This skill teaches the methodology of forming concrete hypotheses about specific entities (such as film titles, director names, or historical events) when presented with constraints. Instead of performing broad, generic searches, users should leverage their world knowledge to narrow down possibilities, turning a wide query into a precise, verifiable search query. This is particularly effective for academic or historical research.

This technique is designed for advanced academic research, enabling users to search for theses by running two parallel tracks: a Topic Track (focusing on discipline, methodology, and materials) and a People Track (focusing on university, advisor, degree type, and year). By switching between these two methodologies, users can cross-validate results and significantly improve the accuracy and completeness of their literature review.

A comprehensive mentor guiding users through the entire lifecycle of academic literature reviews. It teaches systematic search strategies (PICO/PCC), critical appraisal methods, and advanced synthesis techniques. The skill covers searching major English and Chinese databases (e.g., PubMed, Web of Science, CNKI), organizing findings, and effectively utilizing AI research tools like Elicit and Semantic Scholar to build robust, evidence-based research papers.

A powerful cognitive tool that moves beyond surface-level brainstorming. It forces users to systematically deconstruct complex problems down to their 'irreducible truths.' The skill identifies 8-12 hidden assumptions (Surface, Middle, Deep), classifies them (Fact, Convention, Belief, Interest-Driven), and ranks them by Fragility × Impact. This process allows users to stress-test their premises and rebuild conclusions based only on verified realities, making it invaluable for major life decisions or business hypothesis testing.

This profile acts as a narrative and synthesis partner, focusing on articulating the 'why' behind decisions rather than just the 'what.' It specializes in creating clear, structured written artifacts, refining design notes, and synthesizing complex tradeoffs. Wiggins helps ensure that the intent aligns with the execution, adjusting the explanation level and framing to suit any mixed audience, from engineers needing mechanisms to leaders needing implications.
