Generate ~5 actionable research topic recommendations by querying PubMed E-utilities; use when a user provides a research direction/constraints and needs evidence-backed topic ideas quickly.
When to use
- You have a broad research direction (e.g., "immunotherapy biomarkers") and need **5 concrete, literature-grounded topic options** to choose from.
- You need **research direction suggestions** after a quick PubMed scan, with each suggestion tied to recent papers.
- You want **topic selection based on PubMed literature** under constraints (time range, publication type, population, method preference).
- You must propose **actionable topics with a clear gap/opportunity statement**, supported by at least 1-2 cited articles.
- You need to iteratively refine a PubMed query (keywords/MeSH, inclusion/exclusion terms) until results are sufficient for topic generation.
When not to use
- Do not use this skill when the required source data, identifiers, files, or credentials are missing.
- Do not use this skill when the user asks for fabricated results, unsupported claims, or out-of-scope conclusions.
- Do not use this skill when a simpler direct answer is more appropriate than the documented workflow.
