Paper Writing Section

This does the structured work of writing individual academic paper sections with field-appropriate conventions. It pulls context from your existing LaTeX files and experimental logs, then writes sections like abstracts, methods, or results with inline planning comments before each paragraph. The two-pass refinement is the practical part: first it fixes technical errors like unenclosed math and broken references, then it compresses and removes redundancy. You get LaTeX fragments ready to drop into your paper, no preamble or placeholders. The quality checklist enforces things reviewers actually care about: proper math delimiters, valid citations, no hype language, numbers that match your logs. It assumes you have supporting files for section-specific tips and refinement prompts, so you'll want those reference files in place to get the full benefit.

Files

Paper Section Writer

Write a publication-quality section for an academic paper.

Input

$0 — Section name: abstract, introduction, background, related-work, methods, experimental-setup, results, discussion, conclusion
$1 — (Optional) Path to context file (research plan, results, prior sections)

Workflow

Step 1: Gather Context

Read the paper's existing .tex files, experiment logs, result files, and any provided context. Understand: title, contributions, methodology, key results, figures, tables.

Step 2: Write the Section

Load section-specific tips from references/section-tips.md. Before every paragraph, include a brief plan as a LaTeX comment (% Plan: ...).

Step 3: Two-Pass Refinement

Apply both refinement passes from references/refinement-prompts.md:

Pass 1: Fix errors (unenclosed math, broken refs, hallucinated numbers, duplicate labels)
Pass 2: Remove redundancies, compress, ensure smooth transitions
