SYSTEM DOCUMENTATION & REQUIREMENTS

💡 This Skill includes references (resource) components.

What problem does it solve?

Gaia helps you turn an audited evidence graph (plus its audit table and bibliographic metadata) into a domain-vocabulary scholarly synthesis that explains exactly how a quantitative result is closed—linking observational or experimental anchors through theory/computation, inversion or fitting, cross-method comparison, and open problems without fabricating missing figures or data.

Core Features & Use Cases

  • Closure-chain structured writing: Produces a research-article style narrative focused on the single question “how is this result closed?”
  • Mandatory provenance scaffolding: Refuses to proceed without the audited evidence graph (source + rendered raster), an audit table with payload anchors, and data.papers metadata for references.
  • Best-effort figure/table adaptation with safeguards: Quotes or adapts source text only when it is present in the supplied payload; otherwise records missing figure/table needs in a missing-material.md file rather than inventing content.
  • Verification-aware comparison and open problems: Includes cross-method tensions and discriminating future work, citing accepted contradictions author–year.

Quick Start

Use the gaia-scholarly-synthesis skill with the audited evidence graph, the audit table, and the data.papers bibliographic metadata to generate a scholarly synthesis article with Figure 1 embedding and a references section.

FAQPage Schema
How do I write a scholarly synthesis from an audited evidence graph?▼

To write a scholarly synthesis from an audited evidence graph, you supply the graph, a rendered raster, an audit table, and bibliographic metadata to generate a closure-chain narrative explaining how a quantitative result is closed.

What is a closure chain in scientific writing?▼

A closure chain in scientific writing links observational or experimental anchors through theoretical, computational, or inversion steps to a final fitting result, documenting the complete provenance of a quantitative claim.

How do I manage missing figures and tables when generating research articles?▼

When generating research articles, missing figures and tables are recorded in a missing-material.md file rather than being fabricated, ensuring the scholarly synthesis only adapts source text present in the supplied payload.

Do I need bibliographic metadata to generate a scholarly synthesis?▼

Yes, bibliographic metadata from data.papers is a mandatory input alongside the audited evidence graph and audit table to produce a scholarly synthesis with proper citations and references.

Can I use this scientific writing method for climate and astrophysics data?▼

Yes, this scientific writing method applies to physics, chemistry, biology, climate, astrophysics, and other fields where experimental anchors connect through computational steps to inversion or fitting results.

How do I document cross-method tensions in a research article?▼

To document cross-method tensions in a research article, the scholarly synthesis includes verification-aware comparisons of accepted contradictions and cites discriminating future work using author-year citations.
