13 days oldThe repository was created 13 days ago. New is not bad, but a brand new repository carrying a familiar-sounding name is the shape a typosquat arrives in, and there has been no time for anyone else to find a problem with it.
0 stars0 stars. Stars are a popularity signal and not a quality one, but at this level it is likely that nobody has read this closely except its author, and you would be relying on your own review.

What its author says it does

Copied from the file, not written here

Convert official school rules, degree requirements, supervisor instructions, accepted local exemplars, and an author's research scope into a traceable Chinese thesis profile, outline, chapter contracts, material inventory, and staged production plan. Use at thesis startup, after a structural change, or whenever formatting and chapter expectations are unclear.

Thesis Requirements Planning

Turn institutional requirements and research logic into executable project constraints before drafting.

Intake order

Read thesis.project.json and reports/intake_summary.json.
Inventory official school rules, templates, supervisor instructions, accepted local exemplars, current drafts, and raw research assets.
Record conflicts and missing information; never choose a baseline from its file name or date alone.
Extract confirmed rules into config/school-profile.json using references/school-profile.md.
Align the outline using references/thesis-structure.md.
Create a staged plan with human approvals and route each stage through thesis-production-orchestrator.

Authority rule

Explicit author/supervisor decisions and current official requirements override generic thesis conventions. Exemplars reveal presentation patterns but do not override current rules or justify copying their wording.

Unknown formatting values remain unknown. Inferred values must name the source and require human confirmation before final formatting.

Structure rule

Organize research chapters around questions and evidence, not around available file types. A chapter may integrate its own materials, preparation, characterization, results, and summary when that matches the confirmed supervisor structure.

Do not impose a universal independent methods chapter, fixed chapter count, or discipline-specific simulation section.

Tools

Validate a school profile:

python scripts/validate_school_profile.py config/school-profile.json

Block final formatting until all rules are confirmed:

python scripts/validate_school_profile.py config/school-profile.json --require-confirmed

Completion

Return the confirmed scope, outline, school profile, material/conflict/gap ledgers, chapter contract list, staged plan, and unresolved decisions. Do not start full drafting while the authoritative baseline or chapter structure is disputed.
