SYSTEM DOCUMENTATION & REQUIREMENTS

What problem does it solve?

Securing grant funding is hard because reviewers expect a well-structured, agency-compliant application with a credible gap, feasible aims, and evidence-backed positioning rather than a draft driven by generic writing.

Core Features & Use Cases

  • Agency-ready proposal drafting: Produces a structured grant proposal tailored to common formats such as KAKENHI, NSF, NSFC, ERC, DFG, and others.
  • Literature-grounded novelty and gap positioning: Grounds the application in real literature and runs a novelty check to ensure the proposed gap is defensible.
  • Reviewer-style review and revision loop: Uses an external review step to score and improve the proposal’s structure and persuasiveness before finalizing.
  • Persistence for long drafting runs: Saves state across phases to allow resuming after context compaction or interruptions.

Quick Start

Use the skill to create a grant proposal by running /grant-proposal "your research direction — NSF CAREER, output format: markdown, language: English" and then answer the checkpoints to proceed through structure design and drafting.

FAQPage Schema
How do I write an NSF or ERC grant proposal with a defensible research gap?

Drafting an NSF or ERC grant proposal with a defensible gap requires literature-grounded novelty positioning. This skill grounds your application in real literature and runs a novelty check to ensure the proposed gap is credible and evidence-backed for reviewers.

What's the best way to structure a KAKENHI or DFG proposal for reviewer readiness?

Structuring a KAKENHI or DFG proposal requires a reviewer-ready narrative with feasible aims and timeline design. This skill designs aims, frames feasibility, and iteratively revises the complete proposal using grant-specific scoring criteria.

Can I use a research direction and YAML configuration to draft a grant proposal?

Yes, you can draft a grant proposal from a research direction using a YAML-defined proposal configuration. The skill uses this configuration to perform literature checks, design aims, and generate an agency-compliant proposal in your specified output format.

Does grant proposal drafting support multiple agency formats like NSFC, SNSF, and ARC?

Yes, grant proposal drafting supports multiple agency formats including NSFC, SNSF, ARC, NWO, KAKENHI, NSF, ERC, and DFG. It produces an execution-grounded, agency-compliant application tailored to the specific formatting requirements of each funding body.

How do I handle context compaction when drafting a long grant proposal?

To handle context compaction when drafting a long grant proposal, state persistence saves progress across phases. This allows you to resume the literature review, aims design, and revision loop after interruptions without losing your drafted content.

Why does my grant proposal need an external review and revision loop?

Your grant proposal needs an external review and revision loop to improve structure and persuasiveness before finalizing. This skill applies a reviewer-style external review step to score and iteratively revise the proposal using grant-specific criteria.
