SYSTEM DOCUMENTATION & REQUIREMENTS

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

What problem does it solve?

This Skill automates the creation of detailed chapter-level briefs, including rationales, contrast lenses, and subsection seeds, from a chapter skeleton and section bindings, streamlining the research planning process.

Core Features & Use Cases

  • Automated Brief Generation: Creates structured briefs (outline/section_briefs.jsonl) from input outlines and section mappings.
  • Planning Assistance: Provides decomposition guidance and identifies potential blocking gaps.
  • Use Case: When structuring a new research paper, use this Skill to generate initial planning cards for each chapter based on your outline and preliminary section assignments, ensuring a consistent and detailed approach before deep diving into H3 decomposition.

Quick Start

Use the section-briefs skill to generate chapter briefs from the provided chapter skeleton and section bindings.

Frequently Asked Questions about section-briefs

High-intent search queries and answers about installing and using this skill.

FAQPage Schema
How do I generate chapter briefs from an outline automatically?▼

Chapter briefs are generated by processing a chapter skeleton and section bindings provided in YAML and JSONL formats. The system outputs structured planning briefs containing rationales, contrast lenses, and subsection seeds for research guidance.

What is H3 decomposition in research planning?▼

H3 decomposition in research planning is the phase of breaking down sections into detailed subsections. Generating section briefs beforehand provides decomposition guidance and identifies potential blocking gaps to prepare for this process.

Do I need YAML and JSONL files to create research planning briefs?▼

Yes, YAML and JSONL files are required inputs to create research planning briefs. These files must contain your chapter structure and section mappings to successfully output the structured planning cards.

What's the best way to structure section mappings before writing a research paper?▼

The best way to structure section mappings is to define them in JSONL format alongside a YAML chapter skeleton. This setup enables automated brief generation to provide rationales, contrast lenses, and subsection seeds for consistent planning.

Can I identify blocking gaps before detailed outline decomposition?▼

Yes, you can identify blocking gaps before detailed outline decomposition by generating section briefs. The planning assistance feature highlights potential gaps and provides decomposition guidance prior to stable H3 breakdown.
