Draft Manuscript Section

Draft academic prose for a manuscript section from bullet points or an outline.

Arguments

$ARGUMENTS — section name and content notes (e.g., "Introduction: regional GDP disparities, panel data from 2000-2020, spatial econometrics, contributes to convergence literature")

Steps

Parse the section name and content bullets/notes from the arguments.
Read index.qmd to understand:
- The manuscript's existing tone and writing style
- What sections already exist and their content
- Citation conventions used (narrative @key vs parenthetical [@key])
- What figures and tables are embedded (to reference them)
Read references.bib to know which citations are available for use.
Draft 2–5 paragraphs of academic prose:
- Write in the register of empirical economics journals (AER, QJE, ReStud style)
- Use formal but accessible language
- Structure paragraphs logically: general → specific, or claim → evidence → implication
- Include Quarto cross-references where appropriate (@sec-, @fig-, @tbl-)
- Insert citations from references.bib where they strengthen the argument
- Where a citation would be helpful but none exists in .bib, insert a placeholder: [CITE: description of needed reference]
If the section matches an existing section in index.qmd (e.g., "Introduction" matches ## Introduction {#sec-introduction}):
- Show how the draft would replace the current [FILL:] placeholders or extend existing content
- Preserve any {{< embed >}} shortcodes already in that section
Present the draft to the user for review. On approval, insert or replace the content in index.qmd.

Error handling

If no section name is provided, ask the user which section to draft.
If the arguments are too vague, ask for more specific content points.
