Paper Planning
Use this skill after the research question is scoped enough to plan a paper,
grant section, thesis chapter, or literature review document.
Allowed Mutation Mode
Planning. You may create or update outlines and planning artifacts when
authorized. Do not directly edit LaTeX or manuscript text from this skill.
Artifact Inputs
- Research brief
- Claim register
- Literature synthesis notes
- Source manifest and bibliography state
- Venue, assignment, or advisor constraints
Workflow
- Identify the paper type and intended contribution.
- Draft an outline with section intent, claim placement, and source needs.
- Separate established evidence from planned argumentation.
- Identify figures, tables, experiments, limitations, and related-work roles.
- Hand off drafting or editing to LaTeX paper authoring only after scope
approval.
Artifact Outputs
- Paper outline
- Section intent map
- Claim placement plan
- Figure, table, and limitation notes
Source Support
Tie planned claims to claim-register entries or source manifest records where
possible. Mark unsourced contributions, comparisons, and novelty statements as
open evidence needs.
Human Checkpoints
The human researcher approves the thesis, contribution framing, outline, venue
fit, and any claim that affects authorship or interpretation.
