# Scientific Hypothesis Generation ## Overview Hypothesis generation is a systematic process for developing testable explanations. Formulate evidence-based hypotheses from observations, design experiments, explore competing explanations, and develop predictions. Apply this skill for scientific inquiry across domains. ## When to Use This Skill This skill should be used when: - Developing hypotheses from observations or preliminary data - Designing experiments to test scientific questions - Exploring competing explanations for phenomena - Formulating testable predictions for research - Conducting literature-based hypothesis generation - Planning mechanistic studies across scientific domains ## Visual Enhancement with Scientific Schematics **⚠️ MANDATORY: Every hypothesis generation report MUST include at least 1-2 AI-generated figures using the scientific-schematics skill.** This is not optional. Hypothesis reports without visual elements are incomplete. Before finalizing any document: 1. Generate at minimum ONE schematic or diagram (e.g., hypothesis framework showing competing explanations) 2. Prefer 2-3 figures for comprehensive reports (mechanistic pathway, experimental design flowchart, prediction decision tree) **How to generate figures:** - Use the **scientific-schematics** skill to generate AI-powered publication-quality diagrams - Simply describe your desired diagram in natural language - Nano Banana Pro will automatically generate, review, and refine the schema
