Write: manuscript prose, abstract, interpretation, referee responses
Consolidated prose-writing entry point. A thin dispatcher on the first argument;
the detailed procedure and templates for each mode live in references/.
What this skill does — drafts manuscript-ready academic prose and, on
approval, inserts it into index.qmd (or saves letters to notes/).
Modes
| Mode | Reads | Does |
|---|
section | references/section-drafting.md | Draft/expand a manuscript section from bullets or an outline |
abstract | references/abstract-spec.md | Generate a structured abstract from the manuscript + notebooks |
interpret | references/interpretation-guide.md | Write prose interpreting regression output (significance, sign, magnitude, economic meaning) |
referee | references/referee-response.md | Draft a point-by-point response letter to referee comments |
Procedure
- Pre-flight (all modes): read
index.qmd to match its tone, structure,
and citation conventions; skim references.bib for available @keys. Use the
[CITE: ...] placeholder when a needed citation is missing rather than
inventing one.
- Parse the first token as the mode and read the matching
references/*.md.
- Follow that reference doc to produce the prose. Show the draft for approval
before editing
index.qmd; for referee, save to
notes/referee-response-R<N>.md.
- Respect the manuscript's crossref style (
@sec-, @fig-, @tbl-) — never
hard-code numbers that Quarto resolves.
Follow-up
Offer /project:tables for any tables referenced, /project:literature cite
to resolve [CITE: ...] placeholders, or /project:review manuscript to audit.
