Title Module Reference

Purpose: Optimize Chinese thesis titles and chapter/section title architecture per GB/T 7713.1-2006 standards and thesis-structure conventions.

Quality Standards

Criterion	Weight	Description
Conciseness	25%	Remove "关于...的研究", "...的探索", "新型", "改进的"
Searchability	30%	Core terms (method + problem) in first 20 chars
Length	15%	Optimal: 15-25 chars; Acceptable: 10-30 chars
Specificity	20%	Concrete method/problem names, avoid vague terms
Compliance	10%	Follow thesis title norms, avoid obscure abbreviations

Title Patterns

Pattern	Example	Use Case
Method-based	基于Transformer的时间序列预测方法研究	Method innovation
Domain-oriented	工业系统故障检测的图神经网络方法	Application-driven
Theory + Application	时间序列预测的注意力机制及其在工业控制中的应用	Dual focus

Chapter/Section Title Architecture

Use --headings when the user asks about 大标题、小标题、章标题、小节标题、目录标题、每章小节太多，or whether titles "扣题".

The heading architecture check reports:

• body chapter titles that do not expose object + problem/task + method/path;
• body chapters with more than 5 direct \section headings;
• direct section titles that are too generic or do not anchor to the parent chapter.

Conventional chapters such as 绪论、相关工作、文献综述、总结与展望、参考文献、致谢 and 附录 are exempt from the object-problem-method title rule.

Example command:

uv run python $SKILL_DIR/scripts/optimize_title.py main.tex --check --headings

Words to Remove

"关于...的研究", "...的探索", "新型", "新颖的", "改进的", "优化的", "基于...的" (can be simplified)

University-Specific Limits

• Tsinghua (thuthesis): ≤36 Chinese characters, no abbreviations/formulas
• Peking (pkuthss): ≤25 characters, subtitle with dash allowed
• Generic (ctexbook): 15-25 characters recommended

Bilingual Alignment

• "基于X的Y" → "X-Based Y" or "Y via X"
• English titles use Title Case
• Avoid word-for-word translation
