What problem does it solve? Bringing an already-started LaTeX paper, thesis chapter, or Overleaf export into a structured writing toolchain usually means manual reorganization, broken \input and \bibliography paths, and untracked numbers in the prose. This Skill inventories the draft read-only, confirms a mapping and per-file move plan before touching anything, and lands the manuscript in the STAGE layout without losing a line. ## Core Features & Use Cases - Read-only inventory and confirmed migration: Maps the main file, section inputs, figures, tables, bibliographies, styles, venue signals, and git history, then requires approval of the mapping and the per-file move plan before any file moves. - Path repair and build verification: Rewrites every \input, \graphicspath, and \bibliography edit named in the plan, then verifies the adopted tree compiles out-of-tree via latexmk. - Unsourced-claims backlog and evidence routing: Records every number already in the prose as an unsourced claim for the claims auditor, and routes candidate evidence files to the evidence curator without writing into the evidence store. - Use Case: You have an Overleaf export of a half-written paper. Run the adoption command with its path; the draft is copied into manus/, its references keep resolving, the build is verified, and every pre-existing result number is logged as an unsourced claim. ## Quick Start Run /stage-proj-adopt with the path to your existing LaTeX draft directory to inventory it, approve the move plan, and adopt it into the STAGE layout.
