SYSTEM DOCUMENTATION & REQUIREMENTS

💡 This Skill includes references (resource) components.

What problem does it solve? Writing a compelling paper introduction is hard: it must motivate the problem, critique prior work, state the goal, enumerate challenges, preview the solution, and list contributions—all in under two pages with proper citations. This Skill turns a rough research idea into polished, submission-ready introduction prose. ## Core Features & Use Cases - Six-Paragraph Prose Generation: Produces flowing introduction text following the background → limitations → goal → challenges → solution → contributions structure, with no internal scaffolding leaked into the output. - Paper-Type Positioning: Distinguishes Technique papers from New Problem/Setting papers and adjusts paragraph weighting accordingly; non-STEM papers fall back to a CER framework. - Evidence Discipline: Enforces L0-L4 evidence levels and provenance thinking so no fabricated facts, numbers, or citations appear; uses scholar_search to build a real literature pool of 15-25 references. - Use Case: A researcher has a goal and key idea for a Text-to-SQL method but no written introduction. Provide the research area, prior-work limitations, and key idea, and receive six paragraphs of English prose plus a numbered References list. ## Quick Start Ask the assistant to draft a six-paragraph introduction for your paper, providing your research area, the limitations of existing work, your goal and key idea, and any references you want woven in.

Frequently Asked Questions about intro-drafter

High-intent search queries and answers about installing and using this skill.

FAQPage Schema
How do I write an introduction for a research paper?

Provide your research area, prior-work limitations, goal, and key idea, and the skill drafts six paragraphs: background, limitations, problem and goal, challenges, solution overview, and contributions. It outputs flowing prose with numeric citations and a references list, not an outline.

How many citations should a paper introduction have?

A complete six-paragraph introduction typically needs 15-25 references: 3-5 in background, 5-8 for prior-work limitations, 2-4 each in the middle paragraphs, and 0-2 in contributions. The skill uses scholar_search to build a real literature pool before drafting.

Can it write introductions for non-STEM papers?

The six-paragraph model is designed for STEM and technical papers. For humanities, social sciences, economics, or law, it falls back to the parent skill's Claim-Evidence-Reasoning framework while keeping the same evidence-level discipline.

Does the introduction drafter fabricate citations or results?

No. It enforces provenance thinking and L0-L4 evidence levels: claims without a source from user input or scholar_search are not written. Unverified facts are rewritten or removed, and no placeholder tags like [citation needed] appear in output.

When should I not use the introduction drafter?

Do not use it for benchmark papers (use benchmark-paper-template), for Methods/Results/Discussion sections (use section-drafter), for polishing existing introductions (use paper-polish), or for evaluating submission readiness (use doubao-academic-evaluator).
