Quickstart

This example shows the shortest meaningful path through design-research-problems.

1. Install

pip install design-research-problems

Or install from source:

git clone https://github.com/cmudrc/design-research-problems.git
cd design-research-problems
python -m venv .venv
source .venv/bin/activate
python -m pip install --upgrade pip
pip install -e .

2. Minimal Runnable Example

import design_research_problems as derp

print(f"Catalog size: {len(derp.list_problems())}")
problem = derp.get_problem("ideation_peanut_shelling_fu_cagan_kotovsky_2010")
print(problem.render_brief(include_citation=False))

3. What Happened

You loaded one packaged study task from the catalog and rendered its design brief. This is the core pattern for building comparable task inputs before adding evaluators, solvers, or orchestration.

Ecosystem Note

In a typical study, design-research-agents provides executable participants, design-research-problems supplies the task, design-research-experiments defines the study structure, and design-research-analysis interprets the resulting records.
