Query Q001
Hypothesis H1

Statement

Yes, complete and usable AI/LLM system prompts have been published that implement a full analytical rigor framework for research, going beyond narrow tasks to encompass comprehensive research methodology including frameworks such as ICD 203, GRADE, PRISMA, Cochrane, or IPCC.

Status

Not supported — No evidence found of a published prompt meeting the full criteria.

Supporting Evidence

Evidence ID Summary Strength
No direct supporting evidence found

Contradicting Evidence

Evidence ID Summary Strength
SRC01-E01 The Prompt Report's taxonomy of 58 techniques found no comprehensive research methodology prompt Strong
SRC04-E01 Perplexity's leaked prompt contains zero analytical framework components Strong
SRC02-E01 sroberts implementation covers only 3 of 66 SATs, none as a system prompt Moderate

Reasoning

Despite extensive search across academic literature, GitHub repositories, prompt libraries, leaked commercial prompts, and practitioner publications, no published system prompt was found that implements a complete analytical rigor framework. The closest candidates either implement a small subset of techniques (sroberts: 3 SATs) or implement research pipelines in code rather than as prompts (Agent Laboratory, AI-Researcher). Commercial systems like Perplexity and OpenAI Deep Research have minimal analytical methodology in their system prompts, delegating rigor to training rather than prompt architecture.

Relationship to Other Hypotheses

  • Contradicts H2 if supported (mutually exclusive)
  • Subsumed by H3 if only partial implementations exist
