SYSTEM DOCUMENTATION & REQUIREMENTS

💡 This Skill requires jsonschema, and includes scripts (resource) and references (resource) components.

What problem does it solve?

This Skill automates converting disparate research artifacts (idea.md, experimental_log.md, template.tex, conference_guidelines.md) into a single, schema-validated JSON outline ready for downstream writing and literature-review agents, eliminating manual synthesis and error-prone checklist work.

Core Features & Use Cases

  • Synthesis Across Inputs: Reads and synthesizes idea, experiments, template, and venue guidelines into a cohesive plot, intro/related-work, and section plan.
  • Schema Validation & Guardrails: Emits workspace/outline.json conforming to the PaperOrchestra JSON schema and validates with scripts/validate_outline.py.
  • Research-Ready Hints: Produces citation hint queries, timeline cutoff derivation, and strict plotting/section constraints for reliable literature and writing pipelines.
  • Use Case: Use when preparing a conference submission from raw notes and experimental logs to generate a validated writing plan and figure checklist.

Quick Start

Outline a paper from idea.md, experimental_log.md, template.tex, and conference_guidelines.md into workspace/outline.json and validate it.

Frequently Asked Questions about outline-agent

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

FAQPage Schema
How do I convert raw research files into a structured paper outline?▼

A schema-validated JSON outline is a structured output file conforming to the PaperOrchestra schema. It enforces strict citation hint rules, timeline cutoffs, and plotting constraints, ensuring reliable handoff to downstream literature-review and writing pipelines without manual checklist errors.

What is a schema-validated JSON outline for academic manuscript drafting?▼

A schema-validated JSON outline is a structured output file conforming to the PaperOrchestra schema. It enforces strict citation hint rules, timeline cutoffs, and plotting constraints, ensuring reliable handoff to downstream literature-review and writing pipelines without manual checklist errors.

Do I need jsonschema to validate my paper outline generation workflow?▼

Yes, the jsonschema dependency is required to validate the generated workspace/outline.json file. The Skill uses scripts/validate_outline.py to enforce conformance to the PaperOrchestra outline schema during the paper drafting workflow.

How do I prepare conference submission materials from experimental logs and notes?▼

The Skill is designed for academic manuscript workflows where idea.md, experimental_log.md, template.tex, and conference_guidelines.md are available. It synthesizes these specific inputs into a cohesive intro, related-work plan, and section structure for conference paper preparation.

Can I generate citation hints and plotting plans from markdown research notes?▼

Yes, generating citation hints and plotting plans from markdown research notes is the core feature. It reads idea.md and experimental_log.md to produce research-ready citation hint queries and strict plotting constraints for reliable literature and writing pipelines.
