SYSTEM DOCUMENTATION & REQUIREMENTS

💡 This Skill includes scripts (resource) and references (resource) components.

What problem does it solve?

This Skill automates the generation of survey drafts by synthesizing evidence from various sources, ensuring a structured and evidence-backed narrative.

Core Features & Use Cases

  • Evidence-Based Drafting: Writes survey sections grounded in provided evidence packs and outlines.
  • Structured Argumentation: Ensures each section includes a thesis, contrasts, evaluation anchors, and limitations.
  • Citation Management: Strictly uses verified citation keys from citations/ref.bib and avoids invented facts.
  • Use Case: When you have an approved outline and collected evidence for a literature survey, this Skill can generate the initial draft of each section, adhering to academic writing standards and citation requirements.

Quick Start

Use the prose writer skill to write the draft for the current subsection.

FAQPage Schema
How do I generate academic survey prose from evidence packs and outlines?

To generate academic survey prose, provide an approved outline and collected evidence so the system can synthesize sources into structured drafts. It ensures each section includes a thesis, contrasts, and evaluation anchors based strictly on your verified evidence.

How does citation management work when drafting literature reviews?

Citation management during literature review drafting strictly uses verified citation keys from your provided `citations/ref.bib` file. This mechanism prevents the system from inventing facts or references, ensuring all generated prose is backed by verifiable academic sources.

Do I need JSONL files to start writing survey sections?

Yes, you need JSONL files to start writing survey sections. The core drafting process requires input artifacts like `subsection_briefs.jsonl` for outlines and `evidence_drafts.jsonl` for evidence packs to generate verifiable academic prose.

What is the best way to ensure structured argumentation in evidence synthesis?

The best way to ensure structured argumentation in evidence synthesis is to use an automated drafting tool that enforces a specific narrative structure. This guarantees each generated section contains a clear thesis, contrasts, evaluation anchors, and stated limitations.

Can I use this approach for literature surveys without an approved outline?

No, you cannot use this approach for literature surveys without an approved outline. The drafting process is designed to synthesize evidence based on predefined subsection briefs, ensuring the generated narrative adheres to your intended academic structure.

What are the limitations of automated prose generation for academic writing?

A key limitation of automated prose generation for academic writing is its strict dependency on pre-supplied citation files and evidence JSONLs. It avoids inventing facts, meaning it cannot generate creative narrative content outside the boundaries of your provided evidence pack.
