paper-writing-section — Claude Code skill: draft one paper section

What paper-writing-section does

The skill handles one section at a time. You pass the section name as an argument: abstract, introduction, background, related-work, methods, experimental-setup, results, discussion or conclusion. An optional second argument points to a context file with the research plan, results or earlier sections.

Three steps. First the agent reads the existing .tex files, experiment logs and result files to pick up the title, contributions, methodology and key numbers. Then it writes the section, pulling section-specific tips from references/section-tips.md and leaving a short plan as a LaTeX comment above each paragraph. Finally it runs both passes from references/refinement-prompts.md: the first fixes unenclosed math, broken refs and hallucinated numbers, the second cuts redundancy and smooths transitions.

Output is a LaTeX fragment with no \documentclass and no preamble. Math sits in $...$ or \begin{equation}, figures are referenced with \ref{}, citations with \cite{}. Numbers in the text are supposed to match the experiment logs exactly, so thin logs mean manual checking. The skill sits in a chain: data-analysis, figure-generation and table-generation feed it, while latex-formatting and citation-management take over afterwards.
