Decide the direction of a paper BEFORE searching or writing, by researching the field first and then discussing with the user one question at a time. Given a broad topic, it reads a few authoritative sources (recent high-impact reviews + seminal works), then proposes 2-3 concrete angles with trade-offs, and locks the entry mode (build-from-materials vs rewrite), angle, scope, target scene (journal/conference/report/review/ competition), target journal, research depth (flash/pro), word count, output language (中文/English), and core themes through step-by-step confirmation. Once the target journal is set, it looks up that journal's author requirements online. Use whenever the user says 帮我定研究方向, 我有个大方向想缩成题目, 这个综述/论文该从哪个角度写, 帮我选切入点, 我想投X期刊先确定方向和要求, "help me scope this", "narrow my topic", "what angle should I take", "figure out the direction before I start". Produces a scopebrief.md that feeds research-to-paper-curate (categories) and research-to-paper-write (motivation + journal limits).
