/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 invocationCopy Anchor Link

/research-paper

With arguments:

/research-paper [--suite-name NAME]

InputsCopy Anchor Link

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

OutputsCopy Anchor Link

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

The stage also writes the validation gate record. It holds the outcome for each reference and the count of resolved citations against the count claimed:

_outputs/paper-attestation.md

DownstreamCopy Anchor Link

/research-review (downstream consumer)

Workflow phasesCopy Anchor Link

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 floorCopy Anchor Link

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.
