SYSTEM DOCUMENTATION & REQUIREMENTS

What problem does it solve?

Writing a new academic paper from scratch requires coordinating literature search, citation planning, experiment and figure design, drafting, and LaTeX compilation. This meta-skill orchestrates that entire manuscript workflow so a single request produces a coherent, citation-checked draft instead of an unstructured answer.

Core Features & Use Cases

  • Multi-skill orchestration: Coordinates requirement extraction, clarification forms, academic search (Crossref, Brave, Tavily), bibliography building, source readiness gating, experiment design, figure/table placeholders, and LaTeX/PDF compilation.
  • Two drafting paths: Ordinary requests use a compact skeleton draft; explicit full/PDF/long-form requests trigger the full manuscript path with section-level length and citation strategies.
  • Integrity safeguards: Enforces no fabricated citations or results, marks unverified claims, and labels placeholder figures/tables when no experimental evidence is supplied.
  • Use Case: Ask for a 10-page research paper on retrieval-augmented generation with at least 15 references, and receive a LaTeX manuscript with verified sources, planned experiment placeholders, and a compiled PDF.

Quick Start

Ask the agent to draft a research paper on your chosen topic, optionally specifying target length, venue style, language, and a minimum number of verifiable references.

Frequently Asked Questions about meta-paper-write

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

FAQPage Schema
How do I write a research paper with an AI agent?▼

Provide a paper topic and optionally the target length, venue style, language, and citation count. The skill extracts a paper contract, searches academic sources, plans experiments and figures, then drafts a LaTeX manuscript with citation and compilation checks.

What is the difference between compact draft and full manuscript mode?▼

Compact skeleton mode is the default fast path producing a coherent LaTeX-ready draft of about 4 pages. Full manuscript mode activates only when you explicitly request a full paper, PDF, long-form output, or 8+ pages, and adds section-by-section drafting.

Does the paper writing workflow fabricate citations or results?▼

No. The workflow enforces no-fabricated-citations and no-fabricated-results policies. Without supplied experimental data, figures and tables are rendered as explicitly labeled placeholders with TBD values, and unverified claims are flagged.

What tools are required to compile the LaTeX paper to PDF?▼

PDF compilation requires a TeX toolchain with xelatex and bibtex installed on macOS, Linux, or Windows. The skill metadata declares these binaries as platform requirements before compilation steps run.

When should I not use this paper drafting skill?▼

Do not use it to repair or compile an existing manuscript, or for web research reports, slide decks, document decisions, or generic plotting. It is scoped to creating new academic manuscripts from scratch.

Which search engines does the literature search use?▼

The search step queries Crossref, Brave, and Tavily with a translated English academic query, returning up to 30 results. Sources are then curated into a bibliography with verifiable DOIs, URLs, or arXiv identifiers.
