SYSTEM DOCUMENTATION & REQUIREMENTS

What problem does it solve?

Writing chapters for academic papers is often a disjointed process requiring manual coordination between planning, outlining, and drafting. This skill provides a structured, guided workflow that ensures each chapter is drafted only after the plan and outline are confirmed, reducing drift and rework.

Core Features & Use Cases

  • Stepwise chapter creation: draft each chapter in sequence with built-in quality gates and two-stage reviews.
  • Plan-driven execution: reads plan/project-overview.md, plan/outline.md, and progress to determine goals, prerequisites, and sequencing before drafting.
  • Output management: writes chapters to chapters/XX-name.md, updates plan/progress.md, and prompts user confirmation before proceeding to the next chapter.

Quick Start

Start by outlining the project in plan/project-overview.md and plan/outline.md, then begin writing chapters one by one with user confirmation after each.

FAQPage Schema
How do I draft academic paper chapters sequentially without losing consistency?

Sequential academic paper chapter drafting requires an outline-driven workflow that validates prerequisites before writing. This approach ensures each chapter is drafted only after plan and outline confirmation, reducing drift and rework through built-in quality gates.

What is the best way to manage chapter writing progress for a research paper?

Managing chapter writing progress involves updating a centralized progress file after each chapter is drafted. This stepwise method tracks completed sections and prompts user confirmation before proceeding to the next chapter.

Do I need a project outline before starting stepwise chapter drafting?

Yes, stepwise chapter drafting requires a validated project overview and outline file before execution. These documents define chapter sequencing, goals, and prerequisites, ensuring the drafting process follows a confirmed structure.

How does the two-stage review process work for academic paper chapter drafting?

The two-stage review process for academic chapter drafting applies built-in quality gates before and after writing. It ensures outputs meet plan requirements and user-approved progression before moving to the next section.

Can I write chapters out of order when using an outline-driven drafting workflow?

Outline-driven drafting workflows enforce chapter sequencing based on planned prerequisites. Writing out of order is restricted to ensure outputs align with the confirmed plan and progress tracking structure.

Where should drafted academic paper chapters be saved during the writing process?

Drafted academic paper chapters should be saved in a dedicated chapters directory using a sequential naming format. This output management ensures drafted content is organized and progress updates are accurately tracked.
