Academic Paper Section Generation

VerifiedSafe

Generates academic paper sections (Abstract, Introduction, Methods, Experiments, Conclusion, Appendix) in LaTeX format, following a pre-extracted style guide and logical skeletons. Useful for producing consistent, publication-ready sections from inputs like source code, results, or outlines.

Our review

Generates academic paper sections (Abstract, Introduction, Methods, Experiments, Conclusion, Appendix) in LaTeX format based on an extracted style guide.

Strengths

  • Produces valid LaTeX with structured logical skeletons
  • Avoids forbidden words and enforces third-person passive voice
  • Integrates domain lexicon and style rules for consistency

Limitations

  • Requires prior style extraction via a separate command
  • Only supports predefined section types
  • Output quality depends on the richness of the lexicon and style guide
When to use it

When you need to draft individual sections of an academic paper in LaTeX with consistent styling and terminology.

When not to use it

For free-form writing without academic formatting constraints, or when the style guide has not been extracted yet.

Security analysis

Safe
Quality score90/100

The skill only reads and writes files within a constrained workspace using Read, Write, Glob, and AskUserQuestion. It generates LaTeX content based on style guides, with no execution of external commands, network access, or destructive operations.

Examples

Generate abstract
Generate the abstract section for my paper on deep learning for image segmentation. The full draft is in draft.md.
Write introduction
Write the introduction section using the style guide. Problem: improving model robustness. Method: adversarial training. Background: recent advances in robustness.
Create methods section
Generate the methods section in LaTeX. The algorithm is in algocode.py and the style is already extracted.

  • Read
  • Write
  • Glob
  • AskUserQuestion

Paper Content Generation Skill

Goal: Generate specific paper sections in valid LaTeX format using the extracted style and domain knowledge.

Prerequisite Check: Before proceeding, check if psmfiles/STYLE_GUIDE.md exists.

  • If MISSING: HALT immediately. Reply: "❌ Missing Style Assets. Please run /paper-extract-style first to build the knowledge base."
  • If FOUND: Proceed with the generation task.

Usage

User will specify the section to generate (e.g., "intro", "method", "abstract", "experiment", "conclusion", "appendix").

Context Loading

  1. Read psmfiles/STYLE_GUIDE.md (Style rules).
  2. Read psmfiles/lexicon_domain.md (Domain sentence bank).
  3. Read paper-gen/LEXICON.md (Logical skeletons).

Generation Tasks

1. Abstract

  • Input: Full draft or summary.
  • Structure: Follow 'Abstract/Logical Skeleton' in LEXICON.md.
  • Constraints:
    • Third-person passive voice.
    • No forbidden words (delve, underscore, realm, pivotal, intricate, meticulously, comprehensive).
  • Output: Save valid LaTeX to psmfiles/abstract.tex.

2. Introduction

  • Input: Problem, Method, Background.
  • Structure: Follow 'Introduction/Logical Skeleton' (Move 1-3 Model).
  • Constraints: Same as Abstract.
  • Output: Save valid LaTeX to psmfiles/section_intro.tex.

3. Methods

  • Input: Source code or algorithm description.
  • Role: "Ghostwriter" for the code.
  • Structure: Follow 'Methods/Logical Skeleton'.
  • Constraints: Same as Abstract.
  • Output: Save valid LaTeX to psmfiles/section_methods.tex.

4. Experiments

  • Input: Results, datasets, setup.
  • Structure: Follow 'Experiments/Logical Skeleton'.
  • Constraints: Same as Abstract.
  • Output: Save valid LaTeX to psmfiles/section_experiments.tex.

5. Conclusion

  • Input: Draft or outline.
  • Structure: Follow 'Conclusion/Logical Skeleton'.
  • Constraints: Same as Abstract.
  • Output: Save valid LaTeX to psmfiles/section_conclusion.tex.

6. Appendix

  • Input: Code, proofs, extra figures.
  • Structure: Follow 'Appendix/Logical Skeleton'.
  • Formatting: Strictly follow 'Appendix' style in STYLE_GUIDE.md.
  • Output: Save valid LaTeX to psmfiles/appendix.tex.
