# Writing Article Plans ## Overview Write a comprehensive article plan assuming the drafter has zero context for the project and will write the manuscript one section at a time. The plan carries the whole argument down to the level of individual argument moves, so the drafter produces prose that realizes a decided argument rather than inventing one. This is the planning half of an academic-writing pipeline that mirrors the superpowers `writing-plans` → `subagent-driven-development` pattern. Structure is first order here: the plan inherits its architecture — section skeleton, proportions, intro moves, footnote policy — from a per-genre structural profile extracted from a candidate manuscript (see "Genre Structural Profiles"). Prose style is entirely downstream: the drafter writes plain, correct prose and `style-emulation` restyles it later. A structural mistake, unlike a stylistic one, cannot be fixed downstream. In standalone mode there is no later restyle, so the drafter's plain, correct prose is the final prose: it still avoids authorial-voice mimicry, but its clarity and polish must reach delivery quality rather than a draft awaiting a restyle.
