SYSTEM DOCUMENTATION & REQUIREMENTS

💡 This Skill includes references (resource) components.

What problem does it solve?

It converts messy paper materials (ideas, logs, LaTeX templates, and conference rules) into a strict, schema-validated JSON outline so downstream agents can write a venue-compliant paper structure.

Core Features & Use Cases

  • Step 1 paper outlining: Builds a plotting plan, an Introduction vs. Related Work investigation strategy, and a section/subsection writing plan.
  • Cross-document synthesis: Ingests idea, experimental evidence, and formatting requirements together so the outline stays consistent with the intended claims and results.
  • Schema-validated output: Produces a single workspace/outline.json that downstream agents parse reliably, with JSON-schema validation enforced before proceeding.

Quick Start

Ask your orchestrator to delegate Step 1 to outline-agent so it reads the workspace inputs and writes workspace/outline.json in the required schema.

Frequently Asked Questions about outline-agent

High-intent search queries and answers about installing and using this skill.

FAQPage Schema
How do I generate a paper outline from raw experimental logs and LaTeX templates?▼

To generate a paper outline from raw experimental logs and LaTeX templates, provide your methodology, experimental evidence, LaTeX template structure, and venue guidelines to synthesize a strict JSON outline that aligns with your claims and formatting constraints.

What is the best way to structure a conference-ready manuscript outline from research materials?▼

Structuring a conference-ready manuscript outline requires cross-document synthesis of your research idea, experimental logs, and venue guidelines to produce a schema-validated JSON file containing a plotting plan, investigation strategy, and section writing plan.

Does the generated JSON paper outline need validation before downstream agents can use it?▼

Yes, the generated JSON paper outline requires validation using validate_outline.py to enforce JSON-schema compliance, ensuring downstream agents in the multi-agent pipeline can reliably parse the workspace/outline.json file.

How do I plan an Introduction vs. Related Work investigation strategy for a literature review?▼

Planning an Introduction vs. Related Work investigation strategy involves synthesizing your core idea and experimental evidence to define a structured outline, separating your novel claims from existing literature within the generated JSON schema.

Can I use this outlining approach for multi-agent paper writing pipelines?▼

Yes, this approach is designed for multi-agent paper writing pipelines, acting as Step 1 to orchestrate workspace inputs and emit a schema-validated JSON outline that downstream agents parse to draft the full manuscript.

What limitations exist when synthesizing raw materials into a JSON paper outline?▼

A key limitation is that synthesizing raw materials into a JSON paper outline requires reading a verbatim system prompt from references/prompt.md and applying an anti-leakage pre-prompt, meaning the output strictly depends on the quality of provided methodology, logs, and LaTeX templates.
