paper-assembly is a research skill for compiling academic paper sections from atomic notes.

About

The paper-assembly skill from agent-research-skills helps agents compile academic paper drafts by organizing atomic research notes, experiment results, and literature summaries into coherent sections. It defines workflows for mapping claims to evidence, maintaining citation placeholders, and sequencing introduction, methods, results, and discussion from prior decomposition work. Agents ensure each paragraph traces to sourced findings rather than invented metrics and cross-link to companion atomic-decomposition and experiment-code skills in the research pipeline. The skill targets researchers accelerating manuscript assembly while preserving traceability from section text back to underlying experiments.

  • Assembles paper sections from atomic notes and experiment outputs.
  • Maps claims to evidence with citation placeholder discipline.
  • Sequences intro, methods, results, and discussion from prior work.
  • Pairs with atomic-decomposition and experiment-code research skills.
  • Preserves traceability from prose back to experiments.

How do I assemble a paper draft from my research notes and experiments?

Assemble research paper sections from atomic notes and experiment outputs.

Who is it for?

Researchers using agent-research-skills pipeline for manuscript assembly.

Skip if: Skip for non-academic writing without experiment-backed sections.

When should I use this skill?

User assembles paper sections from decomposed research notes and results.

What you get

Sectioned manuscript draft with claims mapped to evidence and citations.

  • assembled paper draft
  • phase checkpoints
  • completeness report

By the numbers

  • Covers 8 pipeline phases from literature through review
  • Includes a Python pipeline completeness check script

Paper Assembly

Orchestrate the entire paper pipeline end-to-end with state management and checkpointing.

Input

  • $0 — Paper project directory or paper plan

References

  • Orchestration patterns and state management: ~/.claude/skills/paper-assembly/references/orchestration-patterns.md

Scripts

Check pipeline completeness

python ~/.claude/skills/paper-assembly/scripts/assembly_checker.py --dir paper/ --output checkpoint.json
python ~/.claude/skills/paper-assembly/scripts/assembly_checker.py --dir paper/ --verbose

Scans paper directory, checks 9 pipeline phases, reports missing artifacts, suggests next steps.

Workflow

Step 1: Assess Current State

1. Scan the paper directory for existing artifacts 2. Identify which phases are complete vs pending 3. Build a dependency graph of remaining work

Step 2: Execute Pipeline Phases

Run phases in dependency order:

PhaseSkillInputOutput
1. Literatureliterature-search, literature-reviewTopicKnowledge base, BibTeX
2. Planningresearch-planningKnowledge basePaper structure, task list
3. Codeexperiment-codePlanTraining/eval pipeline
4. Experimentsexperiment-designCodeResults JSON/CSV
5. Figuresfigure-generationResultsPNG figures
6. Tablestable-generationResultsLaTeX tables

8. Citationscitation-managementDraftreferences.bib
9. Formattinglatex-formattingDraftFormatted LaTeX
10. Compilationpaper-compilationAllPDF
11. Reviewself-reviewPDFReview scores

Step 3: State Propagation

After each phase completes: 1. Save output artifacts to the paper directory 2. Propagate results to downstream phases 3. Update the progress checkpoint file

Step 4: Quality Gates

Before proceeding to the next phase:

  • Verify all required outputs exist
  • Check for consistency (e.g., all cited keys in .bib)
  • Validate figures/tables match experimental results

Step 5: Final Assembly

1. Merge all sections into main.tex 2. Verify all \includegraphics files exist 3. Verify all \cite keys exist in .bib 4. Compile to PDF 5. Run self-review for quality check

Orchestration Patterns

Sequential Pipeline (AI-Scientist)

generate_ideas → experiments → writeup → review

Multi-Agent State Broadcasting (AgentLaboratory)

# Propagate results to all downstream agents
set_agent_attr("dataset_code", code)
set_agent_attr("results", results_json)

Copilot Mode (AgentLaboratory)

Human can intervene at any phase boundary for review/correction.

Checkpoint Format

{
  "project": "paper-name",
  "phases_completed": ["literature", "planning", "code"],
  "current_phase": "experiments",
  "artifacts": {
    "literature": "knowledge_base.json",
    "plan": "research_plan.json",
    "code": "experiments/",
    "results": null
  },
  "last_updated": "2024-01-15T10:30:00Z"
}

Rules

  • Never skip phases — each depends on previous outputs
  • Save checkpoints after every phase completion
  • Human review is recommended at phase boundaries
  • All numbers in the paper must trace to actual experiment logs
  • Re-run downstream phases if upstream changes
