SYSTEM DOCUMENTATION & REQUIREMENTS

What problem does it solve?

The Paper Planner skill creates a detailed, executable YAML plan for a specific journal section, enabling transparent planning and review in a structured research-paper pipeline.

Core Features & Use Cases

  • Deterministic YAML planning: Generates a complete plan template that specifies data sources, section requirements, and pipeline instructions for the ESWA workflow.
  • Section-targeted planning: Supports planning for sections like Introduction, Methodology, or Conclusions within the 4-stage plan-analyze-draft-review pipeline.
  • Traceable output: Outputs a YAML plan with explicit paths to docs (docs/paper/Yantra) and clear instructions for analyzer, drafter, and reviewer.
  • Reproducible collaboration: Provides a reusable blueprint that teams can modify and execute in subsequent stages.

Quick Start

Provide the target journal section and overall paper goal, and run the skill to generate a YAML plan saved under docs/paper/Yantra/drafts/plan/plan_<section_name>.yaml.

FAQPage Schema
How do I generate a YAML execution plan for a research paper section?

Generate a YAML execution plan by providing a target journal section and overall paper goal, which outputs a structured plan specifying data sources and pipeline instructions under docs/paper/Yantra/drafts/plan/.

What is YAML planning for an ESWA research workflow?

YAML planning for an ESWA workflow creates a deterministic template that maps data locations, section requirements, and pipeline instructions across Amsha, Yantra, and Bodha modules to ensure traceable research execution.

How do I plan specific journal sections like Introduction or Methodology?

Plan specific journal sections by targeting them individually within the 4-stage plan-analyze-draft-review pipeline, generating a YAML blueprint that defines exact data locations and role-specific instructions for each section.

Can I use YAML planning for team collaboration in academic research?

Yes, YAML planning supports reproducible collaboration by providing a reusable blueprint that teams can modify and execute, mapping inputs, constraints, and roles like analyzer, drafter, and reviewer to a canonical docs structure.

Does the research planning YAML map roles for the drafting pipeline?

Yes, the YAML plan ensures traceability by explicitly mapping roles such as analyzer, drafter, and reviewer to the canonical docs/paper/Yantra structure for the subsequent ESWA pipeline stages.

What are the limitations of using YAML plans for journal workflows?

The YAML plan is strictly a planning blueprint for the ESWA pipeline; it does not execute analysis or drafting itself, requiring downstream pipeline stages to act on the specified data locations and role instructions.
