What problem does it solve?
Helps researchers move from a raw idea to a submission-ready paper by combining literature discovery, structured note-taking, claim-evidence tracking, experiment planning, draft generation, and pre-submission audits into a single guided workflow. It reduces wasted effort on poorly scoped research, missing baselines, unsupported claims, and last-minute formatting surprises by enforcing phase-specific rubrics and artifact checks.
Core Features & Use Cases
- Guided 8-phase pipeline: Discover → Position → Architect → Evaluate → Write → Critique → Refine → Ship.
- Knowledge base integration: Obsidian vault ingestion, per-paper notes, concept synthesis, and a machine-readable CATALOG.
- NotebookLM support: optional NotebookLM uploads and Q&A for deep document queries.
- Quality systems: acceptance scorecard, claim-evidence chain, comparison matrix, and binary eval criteria with a Python eval runner.
- Practical use cases: (1) survey a field and surface blind spots, (2) define a falsifiable contribution and test it, (3) generate and refine a submission-ready draft with simulated peer review.
Quick Start
Run /paper init to create a project and vault, then run /paper discover to begin surveying the literature and building your acceptance scorecard.
