Workflow

Step 1: Gather Context

Read the paper's existing

.tex

files, experiment logs, result files, and any provided context. Understand: title, contributions, methodology, key results, figures, tables.

Step 2: Write the Section

Load section-specific tips from

references/section-tips.md

. Before every paragraph, include a brief plan as a LaTeX comment (

% Plan: ...

).

Step 3: Two-Pass Refinement

Apply both refinement passes from

references/refinement-prompts.md

:

Pass 1

Fix errors (unenclosed math, broken refs, hallucinated numbers, duplicate labels)

Pass 2

Remove redundancies, compress, ensure smooth transitions References Section writing tips: ~/.claude/skills/paper-writing-section/references/section-tips.md Refinement prompts and error checklist: ~/.claude/skills/paper-writing-section/references/refinement-prompts.md Output LaTeX fragment (no \documentclass , no preamble). All math enclosed in $...$ or \begin{equation} , all figures referenced with \ref{} , all cited works use \cite{} , no placeholder text. Quality Checklist All math enclosed properly All \ref{} and \cite{} valid No TODO/TBD/FIXME markers Numbers match experimental logs exactly Writing style is objective — no hype words Section length appropriate for venue
