# Paper Writer ## Overview End-to-end research paper builder. **Single stage, full quality from the start** — there is no skeleton phase to enrich later. The agent (Claude Code / Cursor / Aider / Codex / …) does the writing using its own tools (WebFetch, WebSearch, Write, Bash). This skill has no Python runtime; it is purely a procedure + reference playbooks + a LaTeX template. The substantive work is decomposed into reference playbooks under `references/`: | Reference | Topic | |---|---| | `references/00-incremental-execution.md` | how to actually do this without losing work: batch sizes, persistence, resume — **read first** | | `references/01-bibliography-expansion.md` | grow `bibliography.bib` to 200+ real entries via WebFetch/WebSearch | | `references/02-figures-publication-grade.md` | TikZ / matplotlib / seaborn / multi-panel figure recipes | | `references/03-section-playbook.md` | per-section structure, length, citation density | | `references/04-layout-discipline.md` | tables, figures, floats, cross-refs, author + disclosure footnote | | `references/05-quality-gate.md` | self-check before delivery (G1–G8 hard, S1–S5 soft) | | `references/06-experiment-provenance.md` | honest provenance for every number (measured / simulated / illustrative) | **Read the relevant reference _before_ writing, not after.** The full pass does not fit in a single turn. The bibliography is built across ~20+ small WebFetch/WebSearch batches; sections are drafted one per turn; figures are ...
