Thesis Research Assistant
This skill manages interactions with the "Thesis Research & References" NotebookLM notebook. It enforces strict prioritization and logical flows based on file categories.
Source Categories
- •Author's Papers (001): Files starting with
001). These are the core contributions. - •Review Articles (002): Files starting with
002). High-level field overviews (Dark Matter, Cosmology). - •General References: All other files. Deep-dive, domain-specific details.
Research Workflows
1. The "Author-First" Flow (Drafting & Specifics)
Goal: Write introductions or explain specific physics concepts used in your work.
- •Step 1: Query ONLY files starting with
001). - •Step 2: Identify citations or referenced concepts within the retrieval.
- •Step 3: Perform a Follow-up Query on the "General References" to fetch details for those specific citations.
- •Prompt Pattern: "Based on papers '001)', explain [Topic]. Then, finding the references cited for [Topic], summarize their specific contribution from the general files."
2. The "Context-First" Flow (Integration & Reviews)
Goal: Integrate new information or understand the broader landscape.
- •Step 1: Query ONLY files starting with
002). Get the "Big Picture". - •Step 2: Identify gaps where the review is too high-level.
- •Step 3: "Drill down" into "General References" to fill those gaps.
- •Prompt Pattern: "Using review articles '002)', outline the current state of [Topic]. Then, use the other references to provide specific experimental details on [Sub-topic]."
Critical Rules
- •Never prioritize a General Reference over an Author Paper (001) for defining your methodology.
- •Always check
002)reviews before claiming a statement is "universally accepted". - •If a user asks about a specific paper title that isn't
001or002, treat it as a General Reference lookup.
