# propose_hypothesis

> Propose ranked approaches backed by knowledge base evidence

Propose ranked research hypotheses grounded in knowledge base evidence. Returns ranked ideas with rationale and suggested experiments.

## When to Use

* **Design decisions:** Choosing between architectures, strategies, or approaches
* **Alternative approaches:** Get ranked options backed by documented patterns
* **Next steps:** When you're unsure how to proceed

## Parameters

| Parameter            | Required | Type   | Description                                          |
| -------------------- | -------- | ------ | ---------------------------------------------------- |
| `current_status`     | Yes      | string | Where the project stands now                         |
| `recent_experiments` | No       | string | Description of recent experiments and their outcomes |

## Example

```
Tool: propose_hypothesis
Current Status: "Building a RAG pipeline for technical docs. Naive retrieval gives 
                 low recall on multi-hop questions."
Recent Experiments: "Tried increasing chunk overlap to 200 tokens. Marginal improvement."
```

**Returns:** Ranked hypotheses (e.g., try hybrid search, add query expansion, use HyDE) with rationale and suggested next steps.
