Module: Section Writing
Trigger: section writing, rewrite introduction, draft abstract, method narrative, related-work rewrite, experiment narrative, conclusion polish, paragraph roles, claim-evidence self-review
Purpose: Plan or rewrite one existing English paper section while preserving LaTeX syntax and separating prose proposals from source diagnostics.
This is an LLM-driven workflow. Do not run a script unless the user also asks for a diagnostic module such as logic, literature, experiment, or abstract.
When To Use
Use this module when the user asks to:
- draft, rewrite, or reviewer-polish Abstract, Introduction, Related Work, Method, Experiments, Discussion, or Conclusion;
- design paragraph roles or a compact section outline;
- turn diagnostic findings into a rewrite blueprint;
- check whether major claims are supported by visible evidence.
Keep existing diagnostic modules for source checks:
abstract: five-element abstract diagnosis and word count.logic: coherence, funnel, motivation-thread, and cross-section closure checks.literature: Related Work enumeration, comparison, and gap diagnosis.experiment: result, discussion, baseline, ablation, significance, and conclusion checks.
Progressive Loading
Read only the active section guide plus optional flow/self-review support:
| Target | Read |
|---|---|
| Abstract | references/writing/section-writing/abstract.md |
| Introduction | references/writing/section-writing/introduction.md |
| Related Work | references/writing/section-writing/related-work.md |
| Method | references/writing/section-writing/method.md |
| Experiments or Discussion | references/writing/section-writing/experiments.md |
| Conclusion | references/writing/section-writing/conclusion.md |
| Paragraph flow question | references/writing/section-writing/flow.md |
| Reviewer-facing claim check | references/writing/section-writing/self-review.md |
Use references/writing/section-writing/index.md only when choosing among these files.
Workflow
- Identify the target section and current user intent: diagnosis, rewrite blueprint, paragraph-level prose, or self-review.
- Load only the relevant section guide. Add
flow.mdwhen the user asks about clarity/coherence, andself-review.mdwhen claims or reviewer risk matter. - Build a compact outline before proposing prose.
- Assign paragraph roles before rewriting: opening, challenge, prior-work limitation, method, technical advantage, evidence, limitation, implication, or closure.
- Preserve LaTeX anchors verbatim by default:
\cite{},\ref{},\label{}, math, custom macros, table/figure anchors, and venue commands. - Emit a claim-evidence map for major claims. If evidence is missing, mark it as missing instead of inventing a citation, metric, baseline, or result.
Output Contract
For section-writing tasks, return:
- Section objective: one sentence naming the target reader effect.
- Compact outline: 3-7 bullets or a paragraph-role table.
- Rewrite blueprint or prose proposal:
- Use blueprint when the user asks for planning or when evidence is thin.
- Use revised prose only when the user explicitly asks for wording.
- Claim-evidence map:
Claim: ... | Evidence: ... | Status: supported/needs evidence/unsupported
- Self-review checklist:
- clarity, paragraph flow, terminology consistency, unsupported claims, missing experiments/evidence, and LaTeX preservation.
Hard Boundaries
- Do not fabricate citations, metrics, baselines, ablations, p-values, datasets, or conclusions.
- Do not change citation keys, labels, refs, math, macros, or template commands unless explicitly asked.
- Do not make a weakly supported claim sound stronger than the visible evidence.
- Do not overwrite script findings with prose enthusiasm. Keep diagnosis and proposed prose separate.
