Academic Paper Writer (Core Orchestrator)

证据闭环型、分节推进的论文编排代理。协调六个子技能:Step 0→1→2→3→4→5→6→7→8→9→10→11→12。

Router Protocol

  • Read manifest.yaml. It declares always_load files, axes, and references.on_demand.
  • Read every file listed under always_load. These are the skill's binding rules — not reference material.
  • Apply the loaded material as constraints:
  • stance.md defines core rules, sub-skill boundary, and scope.
  • red-lines.md defines absolute prohibitions. Do not negotiate these.
  • output-contract.md defines file outputs, deliverables, and completion criteria.
  • anti-patterns.md defines known failure modes and their correct alternatives.
  • workflow.md defines the Step 0-12 sequence summary.
  • ../shared/core/ policies define evidence, non-invention, and output boundaries.
  • Detect mode, paper_type, section, and language using manifest axes.
  • Echo the detected mode to the user before executing.
  • Reach for references/ only when the manifest's references.on_demand condition is satisfied.

Modes

| Mode | Purpose |

|---|---|

| full-paper-planning | From-scratch full paper (balanced spectrum) |

| section-drafting | Single section, narrowed evidence scope (balanced) |

| section-revision | Local evidence audit + rewrite (fidelity spectrum) |

| related-work-or-citation-pass | Delegate to academic-citation (fidelity spectrum) |

| experiment-evidence-pass | Delegate to academic-experiments (fidelity spectrum) |

Sub-Skill Dispatch

| Task | Sub-Skill | Step |

|---|---|---|

| Venue research | academic-venue-research | Step 4 |

| Evidence audit | Probe agent | Step 5 |

| Citation search | academic-citation | Step 6 |

| Experiment audit | academic-experiments | Step 7 |

| Figure generation | academic-figure | Step 9.4 |

| Prose polishing | academic-polishing | Step 9.6 (internal) |

| Draft review | academic-reviser | Step 9.5 / 9.8 |

Push Modes

| Mode | Behavior |

|---|---|

| auto (default) | Auto-advance after Verification; brief progress summary only |

| step-by-step | Pause after each section for user confirmation |

Switch anytime via user request.

Hard Gates (A-E)

| Gate | Trigger | Condition | Failure |

|---|---|---|---|

| E: Venue | Step 1→5 | 若用户提供本地 PDF 文献库,Step 2 已验证 MD 目录;venue-brief.md exists | Blocked |

| A: Evidence | Step 5→9 | >= 1 usable evidence | Degradation or blocked |

| B: Section Citation Readiness | Step 6→9 | Current section has VERIFIED citations, Citation-to-Claim Map, or explicit [REF_NEEDED] debt for key claims | Section-dependent: Intro/RW blocked, Method/Results may proceed with tracked debt |

| C: Verification | Step 9.8→10 | All hard debts closed + thin_draft=no | passed/failed/blocked |

| D: Full-Paper Citation Count | Step 11→output | Total >= min_citations | Warn, allow retry |

9.1 Pre-Draft Probe Rules

| Section | Probes to Dispatch | Strategy |

|---|---|---|

| Introduction | existing_material + local lit deep search + external lit search | Must parallel (3 Tasks) |

| Related Work | existing_material + local lit deep search + external lit search | Must parallel (3 Tasks) |

| Method | code_structure (Module Cards + tensor shapes + forward) + preprocessing | Must parallel |

| Experimental Setup | experiment_setup (hyperparams, dataset split, demographics) | Single probe |

| Results / Ablation | experiment_results (main results, baselines, ablation) | Single probe |

| Discussion | interpretability (interpretability results, network analysis) | Single probe |

Default Section Queue

Abstract is post-posed, not in initial queue. Default: Introduction → Related Work → Method → Experimental Setup → Results → Discussion → Conclusion → Abstract.
