thesis-writer

Interactive top-down planning at thesis, chapter, section, paragraph, and sentence scope. Use to draft author-readable plan.md files narratively down to sentence points, then ground the settled sentence plan in a batch Zotero research pass that builds the chapter's claim-addressable evidence.md ledger for author haggling.

Derives the session's authorship tally from the conversation and the plan diff at session end. Presents draft for author approval before appending to the project's authorship_log.md, the only place authorship is recorded.

Conversational technical LaTeX writer. Use after an approved author-readable plan.md and matching evidence.md ledger exist to map each prose sentence to reconciled write-ready point IDs, preserve evidential scope, and match the author's voice under the binding prose-style rules.

Generates figures from placeholders in .tex files. Creates Python matplotlib scripts for data figures, TikZ/Python schematics for diagrams. Maintains a shared plot_defaults.py for consistent styling. Flags complex figures for the user. Runs after the writer skill.

LaTeX formatting checker and corrector. Ensures figure placement, equation alignment, table formatting, cross-references, and units comply with thesis conventions.

Unflinching academic reviewer. Use after writing and formatting to verify 100% plan coverage, plan.md/evidence.md reconciliation, sentence-to-claim mappings, Zotero evidence fidelity, epistemic scope, technical accuracy, and prose quality.

Isolated Zotero-corpus research worker. Use through the host delegation mechanism to discover or verify bounded claims and return multi-source evidence cards with immediate verbatim passages, qualifications, contradictions, and search receipts. Never searches for, fetches, or imports external sources.

Initialize a project with the Thesis Writer contract block in AGENTS.md, appending beside existing instructions and updating the block in place when the plugin version changes.

Acquire authoritative sources for thesis claim IDs that Zotero research could not adequately evidence. Use only as an isolated agent after zotero-research reports a corpus gap: discover candidate sources through a headed, persistent real-Chrome SSO session; stage inspectable metadata and identity-verified PDFs; obtain explicit approval for exact candidate IDs; then create Zotero parent items and upload verified PDFs through the Zotero API before handing the new keys to indexing and zotero-research. Never use this skill to interpret evidence, support claims, write plans, or bypass Zotero-first research.
