$ARGUMENTS
Purpose
Research academic topics, produce typst documents with proper citations and cetz plots, and iteratively explain until you truly understand.
Autonomy Level: L1-L2
- L1 (Teaching mode): Guide question, confirm understanding at each step
- L2 (Writing mode): Set direction, AI executes, review output
Workflow
| Phase | Actor | Action |
|---|
| 1 | Human | Pose research question |
| 2 | Researcher | Web search for papers, extract key insights |
| 3 | Human | Judge source quality and relevance |
| 4 | Writer | Draft typst document with structure |
| 5 | Coder | Generate cetz plots for diagrams/graphs |
| 6 | Polisher | Add citations, formatting, flow |
| 7 | Prover | Check logic consistency, math validity |
| 8 | Human | Confirm understanding (loop until yes) |
Input Required
- Research question or paper URL
- Output format preference (notes, summary, full document)
- Target audience level (undergrad, grad, expert)
Typst Output Structure
#import "@preview/cetz:0.2.2"
= Title
== Background
// Context and motivation
== Key Concepts
// Main ideas with cetz diagrams
== Analysis
// Detailed breakdown
== References
// BibTeX-style citations
Human Checkpoints (REQUIRED)
- Is the research question well-formed?
- Are sources trustworthy? (AI cannot reliably judge this)
- Does the explanation actually make sense to YOU?
- Is the typst output publication-worthy?
Teaching Loop
while not human_confirms_understanding:
explain_concept()
ask_clarifying_questions()
adjust_explanation_level()
Tools Used
- Web search for papers
- typst compile for validation
- cetz for plotting
