SYSTEM DOCUMENTATION & REQUIREMENTS

What problem does it solve?

Academic writers often draft sections first and then scramble to insert citations, leading to unsupported claims, duplicate citation stuffing, and uneven coverage across sections. This Skill plans citation usage upfront by mapping each claim in the introduction, method, results, and discussion to specific BibTeX keys from your curated source pack.

Core Features & Use Cases

  • Claim-to-Citation Mapping: Assigns BibTeX reference keys to individual claims with an explicit role (background, prior work, method, comparison, limitation, etc.).
  • Preference-Aware Density: Aligns citation density and roles with paper preferences such as survey-style versus empirical emphasis.
  • Coverage Enforcement: Requires at least 20 distinct citation keys when available and spreads citations across all four major sections.
  • Use Case: Before drafting a research paper, feed in your topic, outline, curated source pack, and BibTeX bibliography to receive a structured citation plan that prevents unsupported claims and citation stuffing.

Quick Start

Ask the agent to create a citation plan for your paper using your outline, source pack, and BibTeX bibliography before you start drafting sections.

FAQPage Schema
How do I plan citations before writing a research paper?

Provide your topic, paper preferences, outline, curated source pack, and BibTeX bibliography. The Skill maps each claim in the introduction, method, results, and discussion to specific citation keys with an assigned role, producing a structured citation plan before drafting.

How to avoid unsupported claims and citation stuffing in papers?

Assign citations to claims rather than filler sentences and spread them across all sections. This Skill enforces those rules and adds usage guidelines that prevent duplicate citation stuffing and unsupported statements.

Can I use citation keys not in my BibTeX bibliography?

No. The Skill only uses keys present in the provided source pack or BibTeX bibliography, so every planned citation resolves to an actual reference entry.

Does the citation plan adapt to survey versus empirical papers?

Yes. Citation density and roles align with your paper preferences: survey-style papers get broader prior-work coverage, while empirical papers get stronger method and result support.

What output format does the citation plan use?

The output is plain text with fixed sections: CITATION_PLAN covering INTRODUCTION, METHOD, RESULTS, DISCUSSION, and USAGE_RULES. It contains no Markdown fences or preamble, making it easy to parse or paste into drafting workflows.
