gap-detection

Identifies research gaps — what hasn't been studied, is underexplored, or remains unresolved — in a body of literature. Use when the user wants to find novel research directions, position their work as a new contribution, write a significance or motivation section for a grant or paper, verify that a proposed contribution is actually novel, or identify what the field is missing. Triggers on phrases like "what hasn't been done", "research gaps", "what's missing", "is this novel", "open questions", "what should we study next", "gap in the literature".
