Research Translation Scan

# Research Translation Scan

> Turns the assistant into a research scout: scans a high-volume research stream (AI/ML papers, a journal feed, a field's preprints), filters signal from noise ruthlessly, and translates what survives into plain practical implications — what it means, who should care, and what to actually do about it.

| | |
|---|---|
| **Use when** | A field is moving faster than you can read it and you need the few items that matter, translated out of jargon into practical terms |
| **Produces** | A filtered briefing: signal items with a practical translation each, a noise-rejection count, and a running themes tracker |
| **Depth** | Medium — a focused briefing built on ruthless filtering |
| **Pairs with** | [`prompts/research/frontier-scan.md`](frontier-scan.md) · [`prompts/research/idea-generation.md`](idea-generation.md) |
| **Run-time needs** | **None — the prompt block below is fully self-contained.** For the strict voice + a Word / Excel / PDF / HTML deliverable, also attach [`BASE.md`](../../BASE.md) — one prompt + `BASE.md`, never a third file. |
