## Description

Guides AI-assisted research across three sub-flows, Vibe Coding, Vibe Figure, and Vibe Writing, with behavioural rules that keep the user in charge of academic judgment while delegating mechanical work to AI. Recommends the right tool (Cursor, Claude Code, Codex, Figma, Gemini) for the current stage. Use when the user asks 'how to use AI for research', 'Vibe Coding tips', 'AI-assisted writing workflow', 'which AI tool for this', or starts an AI-assisted work session.

# Vibe Research Workflow

## Overview

Vibe Research is the modern research workflow where large language
models and AI coding tools handle mechanical tasks (implementation,
figure rendering, language polish) while the researcher retains
full ownership of research direction, problem framing, experimental
design, and factual accuracy. The goal is a two-to-five times
productivity gain on routine tasks without compromising academic
integrity.

The skill has three sub-flows: **Vibe Coding** (AI-assisted code),
**Vibe Figure** (AI-assisted figure production), **Vibe Writing**
(AI-assisted prose polish). Each is governed by six behavioural
rules that draw a hard line between acceptable use (mechanical
acceleration, auxiliary suggestions, style correction) and
academic misconduct (fabricated citations, outsourced scientific
judgment, hidden AI authorship).

This skill is a meta-skill that orchestrates tool selection, flow
design, and integrity enforcement across a research session. It
consolidates the the curriculum's Vibe Research section into a
single invocable procedure.

## When to use this skill

- Starting a new AI-assisted work block (a morning of coding, a
  figure day, a writing session).
- The user asks 'how to use AI for research', 'Vibe Coding tips',
  'AI-assisted writing workflow', 'which AI tool for this'.
- The user is choosing between Cursor, Claude Code, Codex, Figma,
  Gemini, or other tools.
- The user wants a workflow plan for a multi-day project
  involving AI.
- The user suspects AI output has drifted into unacceptable
  territory (fabricated citations, outsourced reasoning).
