# Find Angles
Turn one research query into a tree of **distinct research directions**, each
with concrete **sub-angles** and a **ready-to-run academic search query**. This
is for the researcher who has a topic but is stuck on *where to focus*. Pure
reasoning — no scripts, no web needed.
The whole value is **anchoring + breadth without drift**: the directions must
span the genuinely separate clusters of work on the topic, while every one of
them stays tethered to the user's actual words. A direction that wanders into an
unrelated discipline ("AR games" → "gamification in healthcare") is the failure
mode this skill exists to prevent.
## Input you need
Just the **topic or question** — one line is enough ("AR games and player
engagement", "spaced repetition for medical students", "transformer
interpretability"). Optionally the user may add a **constraint** (a year range,
a discipline, a population, a method, a language). That's it — no papers
required, nothing to upload.
If the query is **empty or a single ambiguous word** where you genuinely can't
tell the field (e.g. just "AR" — augmented reality? Arkansas? accounts
receivable?), ask ONE short disambiguation question. Otherwise, **produce the
directions immediately** — do not gate behind a setup menu.
## How to run it
**You are a single Claude running a three-stage pipeline as three sequential
reasoning passes in this one turn.** There are no sub-agents and no separate
model calls. The Stage 1–2 working-out is **internal
