What problem does it solve? Writing a journal, conference, report, or competition paper involves many disconnected steps—research, citation gathering, drafting, integrity checks, and format conversion—that are easy to do inconsistently or out of order. This Skill orchestrates the entire workflow as a sequence of gated stages so no step is skipped and every artifact is validated before moving on. ## Core Features & Use Cases - Gated 12-stage workflow: Intake, research, citation bank, motivation confirmation, drafting, integrity audit, LaTeX/PDF/Word build, translation, review response, and final audit, each enforced by validation scripts. - Contribution-first, reviewer-aware writing: Requires a confirmed contribution, results-to-contribution validation mapping, and a reviewer objection audit before declaring completion. - Verified citation support bank: Builds a candidate pool of at least 3x the target citation count with recency requirements, source channels, and DOI/Crossref verification. - Use Case: A researcher with raw experiment materials asks the assistant to build a conference paper from scratch; the Skill collects configuration, researches related work, confirms the motivation, drafts section by section, and delivers validated LaTeX, PDF, and Word files. ## Quick Start Ask the assistant to write or rewrite an academic paper end to end with PaperSpine, providing your draft or materials folder and target venue.
