SYSTEM DOCUMENTATION & REQUIREMENTS

What problem does it solve?

Maintain and evolve the thesis outline in a disciplined, pattern-aware way, integrated into the thesis_production_system pipeline, to ensure new context is reflected without compromising the approved skeletons.

Core Features & Use Cases

  • Outline governance: validate and restructure the thesis outline based on new context (research questions, methodology decisions, supervisor feedback) while preserving skeleton integrity.
  • Chapter skeleton management: create and update chapter stubs without drafting prose, enabling iterative planning.
  • System B integration: coordinate between planning and writing agents to keep the thesis structure aligned with project goals.

Quick Start

Trigger a restructuring pass to align the outline with new context and ensure skeletons reflect approved structure.

FAQPage Schema
How do I update my thesis outline without losing the approved chapter structure?

Thesis structuring maintains and evolves the thesis outline by validating new context like research questions and supervisor feedback while preserving established skeleton integrity. It restructures sections and reallocates chapters within budget constraints without compromising approved elements.

What is the best way to create chapter stubs for iterative thesis planning?

Creating chapter stubs for iterative thesis planning involves generating and updating skeleton structures without drafting prose. Outline governance enables disciplined pattern-aware structuring, allowing you to establish chapter frameworks before committing to full text drafts.

How does thesis structuring handle supervisor feedback and methodology changes?

Thesis structuring handles supervisor feedback and methodology changes by applying outline governance to validate and restructure the thesis outline based on new context. It ensures methodology decisions are reflected while preserving skeleton integrity and approved structures.

Can I integrate thesis outline management with planner and writer agents?

Thesis structuring supports pipeline integration by coordinating between planner and writer agents to keep the thesis structure aligned with project goals. It verifies file paths and uses frontmatter-driven discovery to maintain workflow coordination across agents.

When do I need to trigger a restructuring pass for my thesis outline?

A restructuring pass is needed when new context such as research questions, methodology decisions, or supervisor feedback arises. Triggering it aligns the outline with updated project parameters and ensures skeletons reflect the approved structure within budget constraints.

Does thesis structuring draft prose content when updating chapter skeletons?

Thesis structuring does not draft prose content when creating or updating chapter stubs. It focuses exclusively on outline governance and skeleton management, enabling iterative planning and structural reallocation without generating written chapter content.
