Research feeder for vibe-thesis.
thesis-engine does the cold-start work that's painful before you can write: it scans the field for live, low-competition topics, pulls primary sources across five research axes, and emits vibe-thesis-shaped notes plus a BibTeX bibliography ready to drop into ThesisStudio.
Includes4 commands · 1 skill
ValidatedFed research across the full 626 Labs article catalog.
Discover, gather, optionally blog.
Three stages, one clean run folder — everything vibe-thesis needs to start writing, nothing more.
Full pipeline, stages 1 + 2.
Discovers a ranked topic table, gathers sources across five axes, writes vibe-thesis-shaped notes and a BibTeX bibliography to a dated run folder. Add --blog for Stage 3; --auto and --count N for batch runs.
Topic discovery only.
Searches the field across four angles, scores each candidate on novelty, thesis potential, and relevance, and presents a ranked top-5 table. Writes it to a dated file so candidates survive the session.
Source gathering for a topic.
Axis-structured web searches, per-axis notes with Pandoc citation keys, a proposal stub, and a BibTeX bibliography. Runs quality gates; partial runs land in pending/ with a checklist of what failed.
Blog draft from a run folder.
Reads a run folder (or a single THESIS.md) and produces an 800–1,200 word Smart Brevity post plus frontmatter, structured to drop directly into BlogStudio.
Inputs for vibe-thesis, not a replacement for it.
thesis-engine owns the cold-start problem: topic selection and source coverage are painful and slow to do inside a drafting tool. The engine does those stages autonomously — searches across prior art, methodology, opposing positions, key authors, and primary sources — then hands off a clean folder that merges directly into ThesisStudio's structure without renaming anything.
The drafting, the LeadWriter persona, the citation render pipeline, and the three-pillar voice all stay inside vibe-thesis. thesis-engine produces the inputs, enforces quality gates, and gets out of the way. The blog adapter is a bonus stage, not the main event — same research, different surface.
