SYSTEM DOCUMENTATION & REQUIREMENTS

What problem does it solve? Starting an academic paper without a clear plan leads to rework and structural confusion. This Skill turns a vague paper idea into a confirmed writing plan through one-question-at-a-time dialogue before any content is written. ## Core Features & Use Cases - Conversational Requirements Gathering: Asks one question at a time about paper type, discipline, topic, research background, and methodology, offering recommended options for user confirmation rather than blank forms. - Automatic Structure Recommendation: Proposes standard chapter structures for theses, SCI papers, Chinese core journals, conference papers, and coursework based on the confirmed paper type, with templates for word counts and section content. - Project Scaffolding: After final user confirmation, creates plan/ and chapters/ directories with project-overview.md, outline.md, and progress tracking, then hands off to chapter writing. - Use Case: A graduate student needs to write a master's thesis in Chinese. The Skill walks them through confirming the topic, methods, and standard thesis structure, then scaffolds the project files so chapter writing can begin immediately. ## Quick Start Help me brainstorm and plan my master's thesis on machine learning applications in healthcare before writing any chapters.

FAQPage Schema
How do I plan an academic paper structure before writing?

Start a brainstorming dialogue that confirms your paper type, discipline, topic, and methodology one question at a time. The Skill then recommends a standard chapter structure for your paper type and creates plan/ and chapters/ directories after your confirmation.

What chapter structure should a master's thesis have?

A typical master's thesis includes abstract, introduction, literature review, methods, results, discussion, conclusion, and references, totaling 20000-40000 words. The Skill recommends this structure automatically once you confirm the thesis type.

Does it support both Chinese and English paper writing?

Yes, language defaults are set by paper type: Chinese for domestic theses and core journals, English for SCI/SSCI journals and international conferences. You can override the default if you have specific language requirements.

Can I skip the brainstorming step for a simple paper?

No, the Skill enforces a hard gate requiring the full dialogue and explicit user confirmation before any chapter content is written. Even simple papers go through the process, though the discussion can be brief.

Does it work with LaTeX templates?

Yes, it detects files in a latex-templates/ directory and asks whether to output .tex files for LaTeX compilation. Without a template, it defaults to Markdown output without asking.
