# hypothesis-evolve-grounding
Goal:
- Generate exactly one grounded child hypothesis by strengthening evidence, specificity, and literature support.
Inputs:
- `research_plan/RESEARCH_PLAN.json`
- selected parent `hypotheses/<id>/HYPOTHESIS.json` artifacts
- parent review artifacts
- active `state/STRATEGY_PLAN.json`
Outputs:
- `hypotheses/<id>/HYPOTHESIS.json`
- `hypotheses/<id>/HYPOTHESIS.md`
- `hypotheses/<id>/ORIGIN.json`
Context Loading:
- Open `skills/shared-references/schema-index.md`.
- Read `packages/agent_contracts/hypothesis.py` and confirm the exact `HypothesisContract` shape before writing `hypotheses/<id>/HYPOTHESIS.json`.
- Read `research_plan/RESEARCH_PLAN.json`.
- Read `state/STRATEGY_PLAN.json`.
- Read each selected parent hypothesis and its review bundle.
- Confirm that the round selected `grounding_evolution`.
Execution Prompt Contract:
- System Intent:
- You are refining the parent hypothesis by replacing weakly supported claims with better-grounded, more specific, and more internally consistent ones.
- Required Reasoning Focus:
- Preserve the strongest core insight from the parent.
- Use review findings to identify unsupported leaps, vague mechanisms, or weak evidence.
- Strengthen the mechanism and experiment path without bloating the claim.
- Do Not Do:
- Do not merely paraphrase the parent.
- Do not emit multiple children.
- Do not drop the parent linkage.
- Quality Floor:
- The child must directly address at least one specifi
