Write Paper
Build papers/<slug>/: a venue-specific paper assembled from the survey
and the contribution reports. The survey supplies related work; the reports
supply technical content; the root references.bib supplies every citation.
Read First
papers/README.md— the paper lifecycle contractsurvey/survey.pdfand the reports of candidate contributionsreferences/writing-rules.md,references/venue-fit.md
Procedure
- Venue. If not fixed, compare candidates with the user using
references/venue-fit.md. Fillvenue.md: venue, track, deadlines, page/format rules, anonymization policy, template source, and the venue's specific badge/artifact requirements — from the real call for papers, never from memory. - Framing. Write
framing.md: the story, the claims, which contributions support which claim and what each provides, and what is deliberately out of scope. Every claim must map to a contribution or to survey-grounded evidence. - Template. Import the venue's official LaTeX template into
manuscript/; rename the entry point tomain.tex. Use the bib system the venue class dictates (bibtex/natbib or biblatex), reading the rootreferences.bibvia relative path. The base manuscript defaults to numeric (biblatex); the venue class sets the final style. The same rootreferences.bibis shared with the survey (author-year) — bibliography style is per-document, not per-entry; contribution reports stay numeric. - Write. Section by section: related work distilled from the survey
(theme-first, never paper-by-paper); methods/results from the
contribution reports and their figures; every
\cite{}resolves in the root.bib. Followreferences/writing-rules.md. - Build and check.
make paper P=<slug>, verify page limits and format rules fromvenue.md, runmake check. - Recommend an adversarial-review pass before any submission.
External Mode (Overleaf)
When the user asks to work on an external LaTeX project (e.g. a
collaborator's Overleaf), use the overleaf MCP if configured: read or
contribute to that project directly. Nothing in this scaffold depends on
the external project; treat it as a foreign workspace, and apply
references/writing-rules.md there too.
Rules
- A claim enters the manuscript only with its evidence: a contribution, a survey-grounded citation, or an explicitly labeled open question.
- Never invent or restyle bibliography entries; a missing entry means missing SOTA work — stop and report.
- Figures come from contribution folders; copy them in, never recreate data by hand.
