# Research Five stages of scientific work in one skill. Read only the guide for the stage you are in — the guides are large, and loading all five crowds out the work itself. ## Two ways to use this skill **Single-stage (the common case).** When the request names one kind of work — "brainstorm hypotheses", "check my citations", "score these submissions" — go straight to that stage's guide and do only that. Do not run the pipeline, do not walk the person through earlier stages, do not append unrequested next steps. Asking for brainstorming means brainstorming. **Full pipeline.** When the request is a whole project — "take this idea to a paper", "run the full workflow", "I'm starting a new study" — follow the academic sequence below in order, and say which stage you are entering as you go. If it is genuinely unclear which mode applies, ask once. A misjudged full pipeline wastes far more of the person's time than a misjudged single stage. ## The pipeline ``` 1. CRITICAL 2. LITERATURE 3.
