SUPERSEDED by /paper-draft (Pass A). Delta-based integration of revised outline prose into manuscript.tex; carried a hard-coded heading map now replaced by the PAPER.md anchors block. Retained for historical reference (it is referenced by past plans/*-revision.md); no longer auto-invoked.
SUPERSEDED by /paper-draft (Pass B). Cold-read fidelity audit comparing each outline draft against integrated manuscript.tex. Retained for historical reference (referenced by past plans/*-revision.md); no longer auto-invoked.
Render the outline source-of-truth into manuscript.tex in two passes — the integrating phase of the paper factory. PASS A delta-integrates each `review`-bucket section's outline `## Draft` into manuscript.tex using the PAPER.md ```anchors``` heading map (never a hard-coded map), preserving every \cite and applying the invariants.md LaTeX prose conventions; `make build` must stay green. PASS B delegates to a FRESH subagent for two honest regimes — a fidelity cold-read (outline vs tex) and a genuinely BLIND claim + citation + invariant audit — which REPORTS and STOPS (no auto-fix). On human approval, fixes are applied and cleared sections advance review -> integrated. Absorbs and generalizes the legacy latex-integration-{first,second}-pass skills.
Human-gated applier of the paper factory's self-improvement findings. Reads the repo-root META.md via meta_status.py, reads the harness-log.md ledger (anti-thrash), shapes with the human which harness improvements to make, previews a concrete re-derived diff per fix, applies each as an atomic [harness] commit directly on draft, flips finding status open->applied/rejected/deferred in the same commit, and records every decision in harness-log.md. Meta/maintenance — NOT a lifecycle phase. Never touches PAPER.md's FSM, manuscript.tex, or the paper spine; only edits .agents/ (skills, templates, scripts, factory docs) + AGENTS.md/rules. Never weakens an invariant, never writes META findings, never recurses.
Fold research into section prose — the drafting phase of the paper factory. Picks one outline section (`outline/0N-*.md`), reads its `## Key Points`, the REFNOTEs for the C-IDs it `satisfies` and its topic (`outline/notes/refs/*.md`), and any `outline/snippets/`, then writes the section's `## Draft` prose: every Key Point covered, each non-obvious claim cited to a source, one voice, target_words as a soft cap. Advances the section `draft → review` via set_status.py, DRAFT-commits, and writes a session log. Strictly serial and single-voice, RE-RUNNABLE per section, one section per invocation by default. NO LaTeX here — that is /paper-draft; the `## Draft` block is the source of truth (see .agents/factory/methodology.md).
Ship the paper's `draft` branch to `main` — the release phase of the paper factory. Strips `DRAFT:` prefixes, fast-forward merges into `main`, and (opt-in) bumps the version, tags, and publishes a GitHub release that triggers the PDF build via CI. A RELEASE GUARD runs `make build`, `make check`, and `paper_status.py` first: check_paper.py errors (dangling cite, over page limit) and open must-fix items or `release_ready: false` are hard blockers requiring explicit human override. For a camera-ready release, packages the ACM TAPS zip via `make upload`. On success advances macro_phase to `released`. Default invocation is conservative (merge-and-push only); squash, bump, tag, release, and camera-ready are enabled by free-form instructions after the slash command.
Literature search and structured summarization for the paper, ONE source at a time and re-runnable (the additive analog of hs-plan's research fan-out). Given a bibkey, a URL, "find sources on <topic>", "next", or "status": fetches/reads the source, derives a bibkey, writes outline/notes/refs/<bibkey>.md from the REFNOTE template (key_findings + sample_sentences + supports: [C-IDs]), adds/verifies a references.bib entry, marks the source complete in the refs README checklist, tags the C-IDs it supports via set_status.py --add-evidence, and DRAFT-commits. Advances macro_phase scoped -> researching. Does NOT write section prose (that is /paper-outline). Second step of the paper-factory lifecycle (see .agents/factory/methodology.md).
Ingest EXTERNAL peer feedback and route it back into the paper pipeline — the in-review phase of the factory. Takes a raw human review (call transcript/VTT, email, committee notes) plus a phase number N and turns it into the tracked feedback spine: CAPTURE the review verbatim into reviews/review_phase_N.md, DISTILL each point into outline/notes/review-feedback-<part>.md as an [FB-N.NN] item (Type / Severity must-fix|should-fix|consider / verbatim Quote / Action, mapped to a section id and any C-ID), SYNTHESIZE cross-cutting themes into outline/notes/review-synthesis.md, then DRIVE the paper back to revising — write plans/N-revision.md, bump the review cycle, set the verdict, and reopen the affected sections. Re-runnable once per external review cycle. The slot hs-publish occupied, reinterpreted for a human-paced, cyclic research loop (see .agents/factory/methodology.md and .agents/factory/review-rubric.md).
