What paper-assembly does

This skill inspects a paper project, separates finished work from pending phases, and orders the remaining tasks. It connects literature work, planning, experiment code, results, figures, tables, writing, citations, formatting, compilation, and self-review.

The package includes assembly_checker.py. It scans a directory, checks the pipeline phases, reports missing artifacts, and can write checkpoint.json. After each phase, outputs move to later phases and the checkpoint is updated; gates also check files, citation keys, figures, and tables before work continues.

The workflow takes a paper directory or a paper plan. It uses Python for the checker script. Phases are not optional here: changing an upstream result means downstream phases need to run again.

What it helps with

  • assemble a paper from existing project artifacts
  • locate unfinished pipeline phases
  • resume work from a saved checkpoint
  • check citation keys and generated figures
  • compile the final PDF and run self-review

Example prompts for the agent

  • Assemble the paper in paper/ from its current state.
  • Scan paper/ and save a pipeline checkpoint to checkpoint.json.
  • Resume the paper workflow from the last completed phase, then compile the PDF and run self-review.

Questions about paper-assembly

How do I install paper-assembly in Claude Code?

Run npx skills add lingzhi227/agent-research-skills --skill paper-assembly -a claude-code, then check ~/.claude/skills/paper-assembly/SKILL.md.

What does paper-assembly do?

It coordinates the paper workflow, passes outputs between phases, and records checkpoints. The final stages merge main.tex, compile a PDF, and run self-review.

What does the project checker require?

It works with a paper directory or plan and uses the Python script assembly_checker.py. You can point it at paper/ and write the result to checkpoint.json.
