## What it does

The skill reads what is already in your project and returns an outline: section list, subsections, figure budget. Inputs include `NARRATIVE_REPORT.md` or `STORY.md`, auto-review conclusions in `review-stage/AUTO_REVIEW.md`, result JSON files under `figures/`, and `idea-stage/IDEA_REPORT.md`. Compact files such as `findings.md` or `EXPERIMENT_LOG.md` win over the full ones when both exist, which keeps the context window in check. With none of these present, it asks you to describe the paper's contribution in 3-5 sentences.

The target venue is a constant: `ICLR` by default, overridden with a flag like `— venue: NeurIPS`. `NeurIPS`, `ICML`, `CVPR`, `ACL`, `AAAI`, `ACM` and the `IEEE` family are supported. Page limits follow the venue's rules, and for IEEE references count toward that limit, so check your CFP before freezing the outline.

The optional `— style-ref: <source>` flag pulls a structural profile from another paper: section order, theorem density, citation style. Sources can be a local TeX directory, a PDF, an arXiv id or a URL. Overleaf links are rejected; clone the project with `/overleaf-sync setup <id>` first. Prose from the reference is never copied, and the profile is not handed to reviewers, because cross-model review independence depends on that.

## Install

### Claude Code (native platform)

1. **Skills CLI (Vercel)**
```bash
npx skills add wanshuiyin/Auto-claude-code-research-in-sleep --skill paper-plan -a claude-code
```

2. **Manually: put the files in place**
- File: `~/.claude/skills/paper-plan/SKILL.md` — Copy the whole skill folder; for one project use .claude/skills/paper-plan/

### Codex

1. **Skills CLI (Vercel)**
```bash
npx skills add wanshuiyin/Auto-claude-code-research-in-sleep --skill paper-plan -a codex
```

2. **Manually: put the files in place**
- File: `.agents/skills/paper-plan/SKILL.md` — For all projects use ~/.agents/skills/

### Cursor

1. **Skills CLI (Vercel)**
```bash
npx skills add wanshuiyin/Auto-claude-code-research-in-sleep --skill paper-plan -a cursor
```

2. **Manually: put the files in place**
- File: `.cursor/skills/paper-plan/SKILL.md` — Cursor also reads .agents/skills/ and .claude/skills/

### GitHub Copilot

1. **GitHub CLI**
```bash
gh skill install wanshuiyin/Auto-claude-code-research-in-sleep paper-plan
```

2. **Manually: put the files in place**
- File: `.github/skills/paper-plan/SKILL.md`

### Gemini CLI

1. **Skills CLI (Vercel)**
```bash
npx skills add wanshuiyin/Auto-claude-code-research-in-sleep --skill paper-plan -a gemini-cli
```

2. **Platform CLI**
```bash
gemini skills install https://github.com/wanshuiyin/Auto-claude-code-research-in-sleep --path skills/paper-plan
```

### Windsurf (Devin Desktop)

**Manually: put the files in place**
- File: `.devin/skills/paper-plan/SKILL.md` — The legacy .windsurf/skills/ path still works

### OpenCode

**Skills CLI (Vercel)**
```bash
npx skills add wanshuiyin/Auto-claude-code-research-in-sleep --skill paper-plan -a opencode
```

### Claude.ai

**Claude.ai**
- Zip the folder and upload it in Settings → Capabilities → Skills

Where a file is given instead of a command, copy the files from the source to that path: https://github.com/wanshuiyin/Auto-claude-code-research-in-sleep/tree/HEAD/skills/paper-plan/SKILL.md

## When to use it
- build a paper outline from a narrative draft and results
- fit the structure to a conference page limit
- turn auto-review conclusions into sections and subsections
- set a figure budget before writing
- check the outline against a venue checklist

## Example prompts
- Plan the paper from NARRATIVE_REPORT.md, venue ICLR
- /paper-plan "topic" — venue: NeurIPS
- Draft the outline, use — style-ref: 2501.12345 for structure

# Paper Plan: From Review Conclusions to Paper Outline

> **Before each reviewer slot**, follow [Selectable Reviewers](../shared-references/reviewer-backends.md):
> resolve invocation → `.aris/reviewer.json` → Claude Code default (Codex MCP)
> with `reviewer_route.py` through the canonical helper resolver, preserving this
> slot's tier, fresh contexts, source/image inputs and deterministic gates.
> Codex examples/pins below apply only to `backend=codex`; other routes use their
> own first-call/reply contract. Save the route and actual returned identity;
> unavailable selections are `REVIEW_UNAVAILABLE`. Classify acceptance from actual
> families/completion/scope. Forward invocation reviewer/model/effort overrides
> to reviewer-bearing children. Generation workers are unchanged.


Generate a structured, section-by-section paper outline from: **$ARGUMENTS**

## Constants

- **REVIEWER_MODEL = `gpt-6-astra`** — Model used via Codex MCP for outline review. For `backend=codex`, use an OpenAI model.
- **TARGET_VENUE = `ICLR`** — Default venue. User can override (e.g., `/paper-plan "topic" — venue: NeurIPS`). Supported: `ICLR`, `NeurIPS`, `ICML`, `CVPR`, `ACL`, `AAAI`, `ACM`, `IEEE_JOURNAL` (IEEE Transactions / Letters), `IEEE_CONF` (IEEE conferences).
