SYSTEM DOCUMENTATION & REQUIREMENTS

What problem does it solve? Turning raw research artifacts—review conclusions, experiment logs, and narrative reports—into a coherent, venue-compliant paper outline is slow and error-prone. This Skill automates that planning step, producing a claims-evidence-backed outline with page budgets, figure plans, and citation scaffolding. ## Core Features & Use Cases - Claims-Evidence Matrix: Extracts core claims from NARRATIVE_REPORT.md, AUTO_REVIEW.md, and experiment results, mapping every claim to supporting evidence. - Venue-Aware Structure: Supports ICLR, NeurIPS, ICML, CVPR, ACL, AAAI, and IEEE venues with correct page-limit rules and citation styles (natbib vs. numeric). - Cross-Model Review: Sends the draft outline to GPT-5.5 via Codex MCP for scored feedback on logic, evidence alignment, and page feasibility. - Optional Style Reference: With --style-ref, extracts structural patterns from an exemplar paper and emits a GAP_REPORT.md flagging sections lacking evidence. - Use Case: After finishing experiments for an ICLR submission, run the skill to produce PAPER_PLAN.md with a section-by-section outline, hero figure description, and citation plan before writing any LaTeX. ## Quick Start Ask the AI to plan the paper by saying: create a paper outline for my ICLR submission using the review conclusions and experiment results in this project.

Frequently Asked Questions about paper-plan

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

FAQPage Schema
How do I generate a paper outline from experiment results?

Run the paper-plan skill in a project containing NARRATIVE_REPORT.md, AUTO_REVIEW.md, or experiment JSON files. It extracts claims and evidence, builds a claims-evidence matrix, and writes a section-by-section outline to PAPER_PLAN.md.

What inputs does the paper outline generator need?

It reads NARRATIVE_REPORT.md or STORY.md, review-stage/AUTO_REVIEW.md, experiment results in figures/, and optionally IDEA_REPORT.md or CLAIMS_FROM_RESULTS.md. If none exist, it asks you to describe the contribution in 3-5 sentences.

Which venues and page limits are supported?

ICLR, NeurIPS, ICML, CVPR, ACL, AAAI, ACM, and IEEE journals and conferences are supported. ML conferences count main-body pages excluding references, while IEEE venues include references in the page count.

Can I match the structure of an existing paper?

Yes, pass --style-ref with a local TeX file, PDF, arXiv ID, or URL. The skill extracts a structural style profile and emits a GAP_REPORT.md showing which exemplar sections lack supporting evidence in your project.

Does the outline get reviewed before finalizing?

Yes, the draft outline is sent to GPT-5.5 via the Codex MCP tool, which scores logical flow, claim-evidence alignment, and page feasibility on a 1-10 scale. Feedback is applied before saving PAPER_PLAN.md.

What are the limitations of automated paper planning?

The skill does not fabricate evidence for unsupported claims; gaps are marked as needing experiments instead. It also never generates BibTeX from memory, so citations must be verified against search results or existing .bib files.
