Evaluate and adjust the scope of a research question for appropriateness

  • Identifies whether a research question is too broad, appropriate, or too narrow.
  • Depends on subagent-spawning skill to process input.
  • Analyzes dimensions (time, location, population, method, phenomenon) in the research question.
  • Provides feedback and recommendations for adjusting the scope of the research question.

# Scope Assessment

评估研究问题的范围 — 判断太宽、合适、还是太窄，并给出调整建议。

## HARD-GATE

<HARD-GATE>
输入必须包含: 至少 1 个完整表述的研究问题。
</HARD-GATE>

## Pipeline

1. **前置检查**: RQ 是否为完整句子
2. **维度分析**: 识别 RQ 中的限定维度（时间/地点/人群/方法/现象）
3. **可回答性判断**: 这个问题需要多大规模的研究来回答？
4. **范围判定**: 太宽 / 合适 / 太窄
5. **调整建议**: 如果不合适，建议具体调整方向
6. **输出**: 判定结果 + 理由 + 调整建议

## Judgment Criteria

- **太宽**: 需要一本书 / 多篇论文 / 无法设计单一实验
- **合适**: 一篇论文可以回答 / 可以设计明确的研究方案
- **太窄**: 答案显而易见 / 缺乏理论贡献 / trivial

## Output Format

```
Scope: TOO_BROAD / APPROPRIATE / TOO_NARROW
Rationale: [一句话理由]
Dimensions: [当前限定维度列表]
Suggestion: [调整方向] (only if not APPROPRIATE)
```
