What problem does it solve? Writing a paper Introduction that holds together as one logical argument is hard: limitations, challenges, solution modules, and contributions often drift apart, and reviewers reject papers whose story breaks. This Skill turns a structured set of research inputs into a coherent six-paragraph Introduction outline with explicit gap detection. ## Core Features & Use Cases - Six-Paragraph Flowchart: Produces purpose, writing points, and severity-tagged gaps for Background, Limitations, Problem Essence/Goal, Challenges, Solution Overview, and Contributions. - Paper-Type Positioning: Classifies the paper as Technique or New Problem/Setting and adjusts paragraph weighting accordingly, with worked examples from Alpha-SQL, AFlow, and LEAD. - Integrity Gate: Enforces one-to-one challenge-to-module mapping, section-numbered contributions, running-example continuity, and bans vague contribution phrasing. - Use Case: After your research idea passes evaluation, feed in your area, limitations, constraints, key idea, and challenges to receive a complete Introduction outline before writing any prose. ## Quick Start Use phd-intro-drafter to turn my paper concept on iterative data selection into a six-paragraph Introduction outline with aligned contributions.
