SYSTEM DOCUMENTATION & REQUIREMENTS

💡 This Skill includes references (resource) components.

What problem does it solve? Researchers often struggle to see whether their paper has a clear central thread, whether claims are backed by evidence, and where the logic breaks between sections. This Skill analyzes a draft or raw materials to surface the paper's main line of argument, classify claims by evidence support, and locate structural gaps. ## Core Features & Use Cases - Red-line identification: Compresses the paper's core question, motivation, method, and contribution into one anchoring sentence that all structural decisions are measured against. - Claim triage: Sorts every major claim into evidence-supported, inferential, or needs-more-data buckets, with discipline-specific criteria for STEM, humanities, social science, and legal writing. - Seven-anchor coherence check: Extracts seven key sentences (motivation, problem, gap, contribution, method rationale, core result, discussion answer) to verify the paper tells one continuous story. - Use Case: A PhD student pastes a messy draft and asks where the logic breaks; the Skill returns a located diagnosis of broken transitions, a promise-response table between introduction and results, and a reordered outline with the function of each section explained. ## Quick Start Ask the assistant to analyze the structure and argument flow of your attached paper draft and point out where the logic breaks.

FAQPage Schema
How do I check if my paper's logic is coherent?

Extract seven key sentences: the abstract motivation, introduction problem, gap statement, contribution claim, method rationale, first core result, and discussion answer. If they form a problem-gap-solution-evidence-answer arc, the skeleton is sound; breaks between them mark where to revise.

How to restructure a disorganized academic paper draft?

First identify the paper's central thread in one sentence, then classify each claim as evidence-supported, inferential, or needing more data. Reorder sections around that thread using the hourglass shape: broad introduction, specific methods and results, then widening discussion.

Does this structural analysis work for humanities or law papers?

Yes, the claim classification adapts per discipline: humanities use primary texts and archives as evidence, law uses statutes and precedents, social sciences use regressions and interviews. The vocabulary and evidence standards follow the paper's own field rather than imposing engineering terminology.

What are the limitations of automated paper structure review?

The analysis identifies and labels gaps but never fabricates missing experiments, data, or citations to fill them. Formulas embedded as images in Word documents cannot be read and are flagged for manual verification instead of being guessed.

When should I use structure diagnosis versus language polishing?

Use structure diagnosis when the main thread is unclear, sections are misplaced, or logic breaks between claims. Use polishing only when the skeleton is sound and individual sentences need refinement; polishing cannot fix a broken argument chain.
