Use compose mode: the workflow runs intake questions, locks scope, then builds a research canon, evidence table, argument map, and section contracts before drafting. Drafting only begins after the foundation review scores above 7.5.

Use revise mode, which extracts claims from your text, compares them against the canon and evidence table, diagnoses structure, and produces a prioritized revision brief. Unsupported claims are downgraded or flagged, never silently upgraded.

Compose builds a proposal from a topic or idea, revise diagnoses and fixes existing text, and hybrid preserves an existing draft while composing missing sections. Hybrid runs revise first, then composes the gaps, then merges and runs full QA.

Yes, the included build_proposal_docx.py script converts Markdown to DOCX using python-docx with Times New Roman and SimSun fonts, 1.5 line spacing, and 1-inch margins. Pandoc export is explicitly disallowed due to poor formatting.

Stop after 3 revision rounds, when two consecutive score improvements are under 0.5, when key evidence is missing, or when expert conflicts cannot be resolved. The workflow reports remaining risks and one next action instead of polishing over gaps.

The skill never invents experimental results, references, or feasibility evidence; missing facts are marked AUTHOR_INPUT_NEEDED. For sentence-level English polishing only, a dedicated polishing skill is recommended instead.
