## Overview

Research Gap Finder is a Claude Code skill that turns supplied papers, abstracts, or field-level prompts into research-gap analysis and prioritized, scored hypotheses. The README documents the analysis stages and output formats; the source excerpts are unavailable, so this map reflects documented behavior rather than verified internal calls.

Main entry points: [`SKILL.md`](https://github.com/lengfeng00/research-gap-finder/blob/main/SKILL.md) (Research skill), [`references/hypothesis-scoring-guide.md`](https://github.com/lengfeng00/research-gap-finder/blob/main/references/hypothesis-scoring-guide.md) (Quality assessment), [`templates/analysis-report-template.md`](https://github.com/lengfeng00/research-gap-finder/blob/main/templates/analysis-report-template.md) (Markdown report)
