/research-paper

Role: Principal Investigator (authoring) Pipeline position: mid-chain

Assembles a top-tier paper draft from the synthesis, design, and analysis — abstract, introduction, related work, method, results, discussion, limitations, conclusion, references. Every citation is verified to resolve to a real source; no phantom citations.

Canonical invocation

/research-paper

With arguments:

/research-paper [path/to/research-suite/]

Inputs

_inputs/synthesis.md (SOTA map + gap), _inputs/study-design.md (method), and _outputs/analysis.md (results).

Outputs

The paper deliverable at a host-natural location (paper/) — abstract, introduction, related work, method, results, discussion, limitations, conclusion, references.

Downstream

/research-review (downstream consumer)

Workflow phases

The command follows the standard /research pipeline workflow:

1. Load context — Read the synthesis, the study design, and the analysis.
2. Verify the Sequence Gate — Confirm _outputs/analysis.md exists; otherwise halt with Blocked: run /research-analysis first.
3. Assemble the draft — Compose abstract through conclusion; the introduction and related work draw on the synthesis, the method on the design, the results on the analysis.
4. Verify citations — Every reference resolves to a real source.
5. Update the handoff manifest — Record the paper deliverable path.
6. Emit the paper — the manuscript at the host-natural paper/ location.

Rigor floor

Under a double-blind venue the manuscript carries only what the anonymity policy permits: author, institution, funding, and the system under study are described in natural domain language without naming them, held out to separately-submitted metadata for a designated de-anonymization stage. The depth of the reproducibility and statistical reporting scales to the target-venue ambition.
