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
