Titles go stale more often than researchers notice, because the working title gets written first and the
paper's centre of gravity moves during writing and revision. This skill catches that.

`create-title`.
2. **Lock the language.** Language of the user's first message, whole run. Titles are English.
3. **Read the paper.** Abstract, conclusions, results. All three modes need them.
## Pick the mode
State the mode before starting.
| Mode | Signal | What it does |
| :--- | :--- | :--- |
| **A. Reconcile** | The paper changed, or the title was provisional | Check the title still matches what the paper now claims |
| **B. Apply suggestions** | Editor or reviewer asked for a change, or `/review-title` output supplied | Incorporate the request |
| **C. Finalize** | The title is a working placeholder and the paper is now finished | Replace it properly |
Modes A and C often coincide, and that is the normal case: the course puts the title last precisely
because it should be revisited at the end.
## Mode A: reconcile with the paper
Check each, in order of severity:

2. **A value in
