What problem does it solve?

Creating and maintaining a consistent manuscript context is time-consuming and error-prone. This skill automatically generates or updates manuscript-context.md for a given project by extracting the latest methods and results as snapshot context and prompting the user for essential writing inputs.

Core Features & Use Cases

Automatically read project snapshots from methods.md, results-log.md, and open-questions.md to pre-fill a manuscript context.
Create or update manuscript-context.md with sections for Target journal, Working title, Key claims, Computational methods, and Key results, including an explicit approval gate before final write.
Support incremental updates via a --update flow, preserving existing fields while allowing additions or edits as the project evolves.

Quick Start

Run /open-manuscript --project <id> to create or update manuscript-context.md for your project.

Pre-filling manuscript context works by automatically reading project snapshots from methods.md, results-log.md, and open-questions.md, then prompting you for target journal, working title, and key claims.

Do I need an approval gate before writing manuscript context to my project folder?▼

An approval gate is enforced before writing the manuscript-context.md file to your project folder, allowing you to review drafted sections for journal, title, claims, methods, and results before finalizing.

What information do I need to provide when creating a manuscript context file?▼

You must supply the target journal, working title, key claims, and anticipated reviewer concerns during the interactive prompt, while methods and results are auto-populated from project snapshots.
