SYSTEM DOCUMENTATION & REQUIREMENTS

💡 This Skill includes references (resource) components.

What problem does it solve?

Gaia helps you turn an audited evidence graph (plus its audit table and bibliographic metadata) into a domain-vocabulary scholarly synthesis that explains exactly how a quantitative result is closed—linking observational or experimental anchors through theory/computation, inversion or fitting, cross-method comparison, and open problems without fabricating missing figures or data.

Core Features & Use Cases

  • Closure-chain structured writing: Produces a research-article style narrative focused on the single question “how is this result closed?”
  • Mandatory provenance scaffolding: Refuses to proceed without the audited evidence graph (source + rendered raster), an audit table with payload anchors, and data.papers metadata for references.
  • Best-effort figure/table adaptation with safeguards: Quotes or adapts source text only when it is present in the supplied payload; otherwise records missing figure/table needs in a missing-material.md file rather than inventing content.
  • Verification-aware comparison and open problems: Includes cross-method tensions and discriminating future work, citing accepted contradictions author–year.

Quick Start

Use the gaia-scholarly-synthesis skill with the audited evidence graph, the audit table, and the data.papers bibliographic metadata to generate a scholarly synthesis article with Figure 1 embedding and a references section.

FAQPage Schema
How do I write a scholarly synthesis from an audited evidence graph?

To write a scholarly synthesis from an audited evidence graph, you supply the graph, a rendered raster, an audit table, and bibliographic metadata to generate a closure-chain narrative explaining how a quantitative result is closed.

What is a closure chain in scientific writing?

A closure chain in scientific writing links observational or experimental anchors through theoretical, computational, or inversion steps to a final fitting result, documenting the complete provenance of a quantitative claim.

How do I manage missing figures and tables when generating research articles?

When generating research articles, missing figures and tables are recorded in a missing-material.md file rather than being fabricated, ensuring the scholarly synthesis only adapts source text present in the supplied payload.

Do I need bibliographic metadata to generate a scholarly synthesis?

Yes, bibliographic metadata from data.papers is a mandatory input alongside the audited evidence graph and audit table to produce a scholarly synthesis with proper citations and references.

Can I use this scientific writing method for climate and astrophysics data?

Yes, this scientific writing method applies to physics, chemistry, biology, climate, astrophysics, and other fields where experimental anchors connect through computational steps to inversion or fitting results.

How do I document cross-method tensions in a research article?

To document cross-method tensions in a research article, the scholarly synthesis includes verification-aware comparisons of accepted contradictions and cites discriminating future work using author-year citations.
