Required Input

Before using this skill, you must provide:

1. Optimized Detailed Outline

Required structure:

## Abstract (250-300 words)
- [Key points to cover]

## 1. Introduction (1,500 words)
### 1.1 Opening Puzzle (400 words)
- [Content guidance]
### 1.2 Literature Review (600 words)
- [Theories to discuss]
### 1.3 This Paper's Contribution (500 words)
- [Specific claims]

## 2. [Main Chapter Title] (1,200 words)
### 2.1 [Section] (400 words)
- [Argument structure]
- [Key citations]
...

[Complete structure with word counts and content guidance]

Quality check: Outline should specify:

• ✓ Chapter titles and word counts
• ✓ Subsection structure (to 3rd level)
• ✓ Content guidance for each section
• ✓ Key citations to include
• ✓ Argument structure notes

If outline lacks these, consider using academic-paper-strategist first.

2. Platform Writing Standards Guide

From academic-paper-strategist Phase 1, or equivalent document specifying:

• Platform style patterns (voice, terminology, citation format)
• Structural conventions
• Example papers for reference

3. Literature Base (Optional but Recommended)

• List of core papers to cite
• Research gap analysis
• Key concepts to emphasize

---

Phase 4: Systematic Writing

Goal

Write complete manuscript chapter-by-chapter with iterative quality control.

Workflow

Step 4.1: Writing Environment Setup

Before writing, I will:

1. Verify outline completeness:

   • All chapters specified with word counts
   • Content guidance provided
   • Argument structure clear

2. Load reference documents:

   • Platform writing standards
   • Section writing guides (references/section_guides.md)
   • Quality standards (references/writing_standards.md)

3. Create writing tracker:

   # Writing Progress Tracker
   - [ ] Abstract (250 words)
   - [ ] Chapter 1: Introduction (1,500 words)
   - [ ] Chapter 2: [Title] (1,200 words)
   ...
   - [ ] Conclusion (1,000 words)
   - [ ] References
   

Decision Point 1: Confirm outline and standards loaded, ready to begin writing.

Step 4.2: Chapter-by-Chapter Writing

For each chapter, I will follow this sequence:

A. Pre-Writing Review

Before writing chapter N:

1. Review outline specification for this chapter:

   • Word count target
   • Subsection structure
   • Content guidance
   • Key arguments/citations

2. Review previous chapter (if N>1):

   • Last paragraph of chapter N-1
   • Key concepts introduced
   • Promises to fulfill

3. Check section guide:

   • Load appropriate template from references/section_guides.md
   • Review quality markers for this section type

B. Writing Execution

I will write the chapter following:

Content principles:

• Follow outline exactly: Respect structure and word counts
• Include specified citations: Use literature from outline
• Maintain platform style: Match voice and terminology
• Use section templates: Follow appropriate guide from section_guides.md

Quality targets (pre-emptive):

• Argument quality: Clear thesis, justified premises
• Citation quality: All claims supported, proper format
• Clarity: Precise prose, terms defined, good transitions
• Structure: Logical flow, proper proportions
• Style conformity: Match platform conventions

Output: Complete chapter draft

C. Post-Writing Evaluation

After completing chapter draft, I will:

1. Create evaluation document:

   python scripts/chapter_quality_check.py
   # Option 1: Create template for this chapter
   

2. Perform 5-dimension assessment:

   • Argument Quality (1-4): Thesis clear? Premises justified? Objections addressed?
   • Citation Quality (1-4): All claims cited? Format consistent? Key literature included?
   • Clarity & Readability (1-4): Prose clear? Terms defined? Transitions smooth?
   • Structure & Flow (1-4): Logical progression? Proper proportions? Follows outline?
   • Platform Conformity (1-4): Style match? Voice consistent? Format correct?

3. Generate quality report:

   python scripts/chapter_quality_check.py
   # Option 2: Generate report from evaluation
   

   This produces:

   • Total score (X/20)
   • Pass/fail (threshold: ≥16/20)
   • Weak dimensions identified
   • Specific revision recommendations

Quality Gate 4A (After Each Chapter):

• ✓ Score ≥16/20 (80%)
• ✓ All dimensions ≥3/4 (or revisions implemented)
• ✓ Word count within ±10% of target

If Failed: Implement revisions before proceeding to next chapter

D. Iteration (If Needed)

If chapter scores <16/20:

1. Identify weak dimension(s): Which scored <3/4?

2. Implement targeted revisions:

   • Argument quality issue → Add justifications, address objections
   • Citation quality issue → Add supporting citations, fix format
   • Clarity issue → Simplify prose, add definitions, improve transitions
   • Structure issue → Reorganize paragraphs, adjust proportions
   • Style issue → Adjust voice, terminology, format

3. Re-evaluate: Generate new quality report

4. Repeat until passing (typically 1-2 iterations)

Important: Do not proceed to next chapter until current chapter passes quality gate.

E. Chapter Completion

Once chapter passes quality gate:

1. Mark chapter complete in writing tracker
2. Save chapter with quality report
3. Note key concepts introduced (for coherence check later)
4. Preview next chapter requirements

Decision Point 2 (After Major Chapters): After completing each main body chapter, I will:

• Present completed chapter summary
• Show quality score
• Ask: Proceed to next chapter or revise further?

Step 4.3: Writing Sequence

Recommended order:

1. Introduction (write first)

   • Establishes thesis and roadmap
   • Use introduction guide from section_guides.md
   • Quality check: Abstract promises, literature coverage, clear contribution

2. Main Body Chapters (in outline order)

   • Follow outline sequence
   • Quality check after each
   • Build on previous chapters

3. Conclusion (write after main body)

   • Synthesizes findings
   • Addresses introduction promises
   • Use conclusion guide from section_guides.md

4. Abstract (write last)

   • Summarizes complete paper
   • Use abstract guide from section_guides.md
   • Quality check: Standalone, accurate, compelling

5. References (compile throughout)

   • Format according to platform standards
   • Verify all citations present

Step 4.4: Cross-Chapter Coherence Check

After all chapters written, before final evaluation:

1. Terminology consistency:

   • Extract key terms from each chapter
   • Verify consistent usage throughout
   • Check definitions consistent

2. Argument flow:

   • Verify chapter N+1 builds on chapter N
   • Check roadmap (intro) matches execution
   • Ensure conclusion addresses introduction promises

3. Citation patterns:

   • Check for uneven citation distribution
   • Verify key works cited where relevant
   • Ensure bibliography complete

Output: Cross-chapter coherence report identifying any inconsistencies

Integration with Academic-Paper-Strategist

This skill is designed to work seamlessly with academic-paper-strategist:

Ideal workflow:

1. Use academic-paper-strategist to:

   • Identify optimal platform
   • Conduct literature search
   • Identify research gaps
   • Assess originality
   • Generate optimized detailed outline

2. Use academic-paper-composer (this skill) to:

   • Execute the outline systematically
   • Maintain quality control during writing
   • Produce submission-ready manuscript

Can be used standalone: If you already have a detailed outline from another source, you can use this skill directly (skip strategist).

---

Limitations and Notes

• Requires detailed outline: Vague outlines produce lower-quality output; specificity is key
• Iterative process takes time: Quality writing with validation requires patience; typical timeline: 1-2 days for 10,000-word paper
• Quality checks are systematic, not perfect: Final human review recommended before submission
• Platform-specific formatting: I adapt to platform standards, but you should verify final format
• Complementary to strategist skill: Best results come from using both skills in sequence
