What problem does it solve? Researchers often start drafting manuscripts before their argument is grounded in evidence, leading to unsupported claims, disorganized related work, and wasted revision cycles. This Skill structures the planning phase so every section, figure, and claim is tied to verified evidence before any prose is written. ## Core Features & Use Cases - Claims-Evidence Matrix: Maps every claim to its supporting evidence, raw result paths, scope qualifiers, and target section, flagging headline claims that lack evidence. - Contribution Positioning: Groups related work by mechanism or research question and builds a positioning map comparing contributions, assumptions, and evidence against prior work. - Section and Figure Budgeting: Produces a section-by-section argument with page budgets, plus a figure and table plan where each visual has a one-sentence takeaway and a raw data source. - Use Case: After completing an autonomous research loop with promoted experimental results, use this Skill to generate paper/PAPER_PLAN.md defining the one-sentence contribution, citation search targets, and open evidence gaps before drafting the manuscript. ## Quick Start Use the paper-plan skill to build a claims-evidence outline and related-work positioning map from my promoted research results.
