SYSTEM DOCUMENTATION & REQUIREMENTS

What problem does it solve?

The Paper Planner skill creates a detailed, executable YAML plan for a specific journal section, enabling transparent planning and review in a structured research-paper pipeline.

Core Features & Use Cases

  • Deterministic YAML planning: Generates a complete plan template that specifies data sources, section requirements, and pipeline instructions for the ESWA workflow.
  • Section-targeted planning: Supports planning for sections like Introduction, Methodology, or Conclusions within the 4-stage plan-analyze-draft-review pipeline.
  • Traceable output: Outputs a YAML plan with explicit paths to docs (docs/paper/Yantra) and clear instructions for analyzer, drafter, and reviewer.
  • Reproducible collaboration: Provides a reusable blueprint that teams can modify and execute in subsequent stages.

Quick Start

Provide the target journal section and overall paper goal, and run the skill to generate a YAML plan saved under docs/paper/Yantra/drafts/plan/plan_<section_name>.yaml.

FAQPage Schema
How do I generate a YAML execution plan for a research paper section?▼

Generate a YAML execution plan by providing a target journal section and overall paper goal, which outputs a structured plan specifying data sources and pipeline instructions under docs/paper/Yantra/drafts/plan/.

What is YAML planning for an ESWA research workflow?▼

YAML planning for an ESWA workflow creates a deterministic template that maps data locations, section requirements, and pipeline instructions across Amsha, Yantra, and Bodha modules to ensure traceable research execution.

How do I plan specific journal sections like Introduction or Methodology?▼

Plan specific journal sections by targeting them individually within the 4-stage plan-analyze-draft-review pipeline, generating a YAML blueprint that defines exact data locations and role-specific instructions for each section.

Can I use YAML planning for team collaboration in academic research?▼

Yes, YAML planning supports reproducible collaboration by providing a reusable blueprint that teams can modify and execute, mapping inputs, constraints, and roles like analyzer, drafter, and reviewer to a canonical docs structure.

Does the research planning YAML map roles for the drafting pipeline?▼

Yes, the YAML plan ensures traceability by explicitly mapping roles such as analyzer, drafter, and reviewer to the canonical docs/paper/Yantra structure for the subsequent ESWA pipeline stages.

What are the limitations of using YAML plans for journal workflows?▼

The YAML plan is strictly a planning blueprint for the ESWA pipeline; it does not execute analysis or drafting itself, requiring downstream pipeline stages to act on the specified data locations and role instructions.
