SYSTEM DOCUMENTATION & REQUIREMENTS

💡 This Skill includes scripts (resource) and references (resource) components.

What problem does it solve?

Producing coherent Methods/Experiments/Conclusion LaTeX sections from messy research inputs is time-consuming and error-prone, especially when tables and figure references must be accurate and compile cleanly.

Core Features & Use Cases

  • One multimodal drafting pass: Generates the remaining sections (Abstract, Methodology, Experiments, Conclusion) plus integrates figures and citations without splitting the work across multiple LLM calls.
  • Grounded table creation: Extracts numeric metrics from workspace/inputs/experimental_log.md into LaTeX booktabs tables so values are not hallucinated.
  • Template-safe merging: Preserves the already-filled Intro + Related Work in workspace/drafts/intro_relwork.tex verbatim while compiling the complete manuscript into workspace/drafts/paper.tex.
  • Deterministic validation gates: Runs citation orphan checks, LaTeX structural sanity checks, and anti-leakage validation before finalizing output.

Quick Start

Use the agent to fill the remaining paper sections when the orchestrator delegates Step 4 by providing a workspace that includes outline.json, intro_relwork.tex, experimental_log.md, figures, and refs.bib, then run the full Step 4 writing-and-gate flow so workspace/drafts/paper.tex is produced.

Frequently Asked Questions about section-writing-agent

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

FAQPage Schema
How do I generate LaTeX methodology and experiments sections from research logs?▼

To generate LaTeX methodology and experiments sections, the agent drafts missing manuscript parts by extracting numeric metrics from experimental logs into booktabs tables and integrating verified citations from refs.bib in a single multimodal LLM call.

What is the best way to compile a complete LaTeX paper when only the intro and related work are finished?▼

Compiling a complete LaTeX paper from an existing intro and related work is handled by template-safe merging, which preserves the filled intro_relwork.tex verbatim while appending drafted Abstract, Methodology, Experiments, and Conclusion sections into a final paper.tex file.

How do I prevent citation errors and hallucinated data when writing paper sections?▼

To prevent citation errors and hallucinated data during paper writing, the agent applies deterministic validation gates including strict citation-key resolution against refs.bib, grounded metric extraction from logs, and post-generation anti-leakage checks.

Can I integrate figures into LaTeX sections without splitting the work across multiple LLM calls?▼

Integrating figures into LaTeX sections without multiple LLM calls is supported by a single comprehensive multimodal drafting pass that processes workspace figures, experimental logs, and citations together to produce the final manuscript.

Does the paper section drafting process require a specific workspace folder structure?▼

The paper section drafting process requires a workspace containing outline.json, intro_relwork.tex, experimental_log.md, figures, and refs.bib to execute the writing-and-gate flow and produce the compiled draft.

What happens if a citation key in my LaTeX draft does not match the refs.bib file?▼

If a citation key in the LaTeX draft does not match refs.bib, the deterministic validation gate flags the orphaned citation during the post-generation sanity check, preventing the manuscript from finalizing with unresolved references.
