-# Paper Write: Section-by-Section LaTeX Generation
-
-Draft a LaTeX paper based on: **$ARGUMENTS**
-
-## Constants
-
-- **REVIEWER_MODEL = `gpt-5.4`** — Model used via Codex MCP for section review. Must be an OpenAI model.
-- **TARGET_VENUE = `ICLR`** — Default venue. Supported: `ICLR`, `NeurIPS`, `ICML`. Determines style file and formatting.
-- **ANONYMOUS = true** — If true, use anonymous author block. Set `false` for camera-ready.
-- **MAX_PAGES = 9** — Main body page limit. Counts from first page to end of Conclusion section. References and appendix are NOT counted.
-
-## Inputs
-
-1. **PAPER_PLAN.md** — outline with claims-evidence matrix, section plan, figure plan (from `/paper-plan`)
-2. **NARRATIVE_REPORT.md** — the research narrative (primary source of content)
-3. **Generated figures** — PDF/PNG files in `figures/` (from `/paper-figure`)
-4. **LaTeX includes** — `figures/latex_includes.tex` (from `/paper-figure`)
-5. **Bibliography** — existing `.bib` file, or will create one
-
-If no PAPER_PLAN.md exists, ask the user to run `/paper-plan` first or provide a brief outline.
-
-## Templates
-
-### Venue-Specific Setup
-
-The skill includes conference templates in `templates/`. Select based on TARGET_VENUE:
-
-**ICLR:**
-```latex
-\documentclass{article}
-\usepackage{iclr2026_conference,times}
-% \iclrfinalcopy  % Uncomment for camera-ready
-```
-
-**NeurIPS:**
-```latex
-\documentclass{article}
-\usepackage[preprint]{neurips_2025}
-% \usepackage[final]{neurips_2025}  % Camera-ready
-```
-
-**ICML:**
-```latex
-\documentclass[accepted]{icml2025}
-% Use [accepted] for camera-ready
-```
-
-### Project Structure
-
-Generate this file structure:
-
-```
-paper/
-├── main.tex                    # master file (includes sections)
-├── iclr2026_conference.sty     # or neurips_2025.sty / icml2025.sty
-├── math_commands.tex           # shared math macros
-├── references.bib              # bibliography (filtered — only cited entries)
-├── sections/
-│   ├── 0_abstract.tex
-│   ├── 1_introduction.tex
-│   ├── 2_related_work.tex
-│   ├── 3_method.tex            # or preliminaries, setup, etc.
-│   ├── 4_experiments.tex
-│   ├── 5_conclusion.tex
-│   └── A_appendix.tex          # proof details, extra experiments
-└── figures/                    # symlink or copy from project figures/
-```
-
-**Section files are FLEXIBLE**: If the paper plan has 6-8 sections, create corresponding files (e.g., `4_theory.tex`, `5_experiments.tex`, `6_analysis.tex`, `7_conclusion.tex`).
-
-## Workflow
-
-### Step 0: Backup and Clean
-
-If `paper/` already exists, back up to `paper-backup-{timestamp}/` before overwriting. Never silently destroy existing work.
-
-**CRITICAL: Clean stale files.** When changing section structure (e.g., 5 sections → 7 sections), delete section files that are no longer referenced by `main.tex`. Stale files (e.g., old `5_conclusion.tex` left behind when conclusion moved to `7_conclusion.tex`) cause confusion and waste space.
-
-### Step 1: Initialize Project
-
-1. Create `paper/` directory
-2. Copy venue template from `templates/` — the template already includes:
-   - All standard packages (amsmath, hyperref, cleveref, booktabs, etc.)
-   - Theorem environments with `\crefname{assumption}` fix
-   - Anonymous author block
-3. Generate `math_commands.tex` with paper-specific notation
-4. Create section files matching PAPER_PLAN structure
-
-**Author block (anonymous mode):**
-```latex
-\author{Anonymous Authors}
-```
-
-### Step 2: Generate math_commands.tex
-
-Create shared math macros based on the paper's notation:
-
-```latex
-% math_commands.tex — shared notation
-\newcommand{\R}{\mathbb{R}}
-\newcommand{\E}{\mathbb{E}}
-\DeclareMathOperator*{\argmin}{arg\,min}
-\DeclareMathOperator*{\argmax}{arg\,max}
-% Add paper-specific notation here
-```
-
-### Step 3: Write Each Section
-
-Process sections in order. For each section:
-
-1. **Read the plan** — what claims, evidence, citations belong here
-2. **Read NARRATIVE_REPORT.md** — extract relevant content, findings, and quantitative results
-3. **Draft content** — write complete LaTeX (not placeholders)
-4. **Insert figures/tables** — use snippets from `figures/latex_includes.tex`
-5. **Add citations** — use `\citep{}` / `\citet{}` (all three venues use `natbib`)
-
-#### Section-Specific Guidelines
-
-**§0 Abstract:**
-- Must be self-contained (understandable without reading the paper)
-- Structure: problem → approach → key result → implication
-- Include one concrete quantitative result
-- 150-250 words (check venue limit)
-- No citations, no undefined acronyms
-- No `\begin{abstract}` — that's in main.tex
-
-**§1 Introduction:**
-- Open with a compelling hook (1-2 sentences, problem motivation)
-- State the gap clearly ("However, ...")
-- List contributions as a numbered or bulleted list
-- End with a brief roadmap ("The rest of this paper is organized as...")
-- Include the main result figure if space allows
-- Target: 1.5 pages
-
-**§2 Related Work:**
-- **MINIMUM 1 full page** (3-4 substantive paragraphs). Short related work sections are a common reviewer complaint.
-- Organize by category using `\paragraph{Category Name.}`
-- Each category: 1 paragraph summarizing the line of work + 1-2 sentences positioning this paper
-- Do NOT just list papers — synthesize and compare
-- End each paragraph with how this paper relates/differs
-
-**§3 Method / Preliminaries / Setup:**
-- Define notation early (reference math_commands.tex)
-- Use `\begin{definition}`, `\begin{theorem}` environments for formal statements
-- For theory papers: include proof sketches of key results in main body, full proofs in appendix
-- For theory papers: include a **comparison table** of prior bounds vs. this paper
-- Include algorithm pseudocode if applicable (`algorithm2e` or `algorithmic`)
-- Target: 1.5-2 pages
-
-**§4 Experiments:**
-- Start with experimental setup (datasets, baselines, metrics, implementation details)
-- Main results table/figure first
-- Then ablations and analysis
-- Every claim from the introduction must have supporting evidence here
-- Target: 2.5-3 pages
-
-**§5 Conclusion:**
-- Summarize contributions (NOT copy-paste from intro — rephrase)
-- Limitations (be honest — reviewers appreciate this)
-- Future work (1-2 concrete directions)
-- Ethics statement and reproducibility statement (if venue requires)
-- Target: 0.5 pages
-
-**Appendix:**
-- Proof details (full proofs of main-body theorems)
-- Additional experiments, ablations
-- Implementation details, hyperparameter tables
-- Additional visualizations
-
-### Step 4: Build Bibliography
-
-**CRITICAL: Only include entries that are actually cited in the paper.**
-
-1. Scan all `\citep{}` and `\citet{}` references in the drafted sections
-2. Build a citation key list
-3. For each citation key:
-   - Check existing `.bib` files in the project/narrative docs
-   - If not found, search arXiv/Scholar for correct BibTeX
-   - **NEVER fabricate BibTeX entries** — mark unknown ones with `[VERIFY]` comment
-4. Write `references.bib` containing ONLY cited entries (no bloat)
-
-**Automated bib cleaning** — use this Python pattern to extract only cited entries:
-
-```python
-import re
-# 1. Grep all \citep{...} and \citet{...} from all .tex files
-# 2. Extract unique keys (handle multi-cite like \citep{a,b,c})
-# 3. Parse the full .bib file, keep only entries whose key is in the cited set
-# 4. Write the filtered bib
-```
-
-This prevents bib bloat (e.g., 948 lines → 215 lines in testing).
-
-**Citation verification rules (from claude-scholar + Imbad0202):**
-1. Every BibTeX entry must have: author, title, year, venue/journal
-2. Prefer published venue versions over arXiv preprints (if published)
-3. Use consistent key format: `{firstauthor}{year}{keyword}` (e.g., `ho2020denoising`)
-4. Double-check year and venue for every entry
-5. Remove duplicate entries (same paper with different keys)
-
-### Step 5: De-AI Polish (from kgraph57/paper-writer-skill)
-
-After drafting all sections, scan for common AI writing patterns and fix them:
-
-**Content patterns to fix:**
-- Significance inflation ("groundbreaking", "revolutionary" → use measured language)
-- Formulaic transitions ("In this section, we..." → remove or vary)
-- Generic conclusions ("This work opens exciting new avenues" → be specific)
-
-**Language patterns to fix (watch words):**
-- Replace: delve, pivotal, landscape, tapestry, underscore, noteworthy, intriguingly
-- Remove filler: "It is worth noting that", "Importantly,", "Notably,"
-- Avoid rule-of-three lists ("X, Y, and Z" appearing repeatedly)
-- Don't start consecutive sentences with "This" or "We"
-
-### Step 6: Cross-Review with REVIEWER_MODEL
-
-Send the complete draft to GPT-5.4 xhigh:
-
-```
-mcp__codex__codex:
-  model: gpt-5.4
-  config: {"model_reasoning_effort": "xhigh"}
-  prompt: |
-    Review this [VENUE] paper draft (main body, excluding appendix).
-
-    Focus on:
-    1. Does each claim from the intro have supporting evidence?
-    2. Is the writing clear, concise, and free of AI-isms?
-    3. Any logical gaps or unclear explanations?
-    4. Does it fit within [MAX_PAGES] pages (to end of Conclusion)?
-    5. Is related work sufficiently comprehensive (≥1 page)?
-    6. For theory papers: are proof sketches adequate?
-    7. Are figures/tables clearly described and properly referenced?
-
-    For each issue, specify: severity (CRITICAL/MAJOR/MINOR), location, and fix.
-
-    [paste full draft text]
-```
-
-Apply CRITICAL and MAJOR fixes. Document MINOR issues for the user.
-
-### Step 7: Reverse Outline Test (from Research-Paper-Writing-Skills)
-
-After drafting all sections:
-
-1. **Extract topic sentences** — pull the first sentence of every paragraph
-2. **Read them in sequence** — they should form a coherent narrative on their own
-3. **Check claim coverage** — every claim from the Claims-Evidence Matrix must appear
-4. **Check evidence mapping** — every experiment/figure must support a stated claim
-5. **Fix gaps** — if a topic sentence doesn't advance the story, rewrite the paragraph
-
-### Step 8: Final Checks
-
-Before declaring done:
-
-- [ ] All `\ref{}` and `\label{}` match (no undefined references)
-- [ ] All `\citep{}` / `\citet{}` have corresponding BibTeX entries
-- [ ] No author information in anonymous mode
-- [ ] Figure/table numbering is correct
-- [ ] Page count within MAX_PAGES (main body to Conclusion end)
-- [ ] No TODO/FIXME/XXX markers left in the text
-- [ ] No `[VERIFY]` markers left unchecked
-- [ ] Abstract is self-contained (understandable without reading the paper)
-- [ ] Title is specific and informative (not generic)
-- [ ] Related work is ≥1 full page
-- [ ] references.bib contains ONLY cited entries (no bloat)
-- [ ] **No stale section files** — every .tex in `sections/` is `\input`ed by `main.tex`
-- [ ] **Section files match main.tex** — file numbering and `\input` paths are consistent
-
-## Key Rules
-
-- **Do NOT generate author names, emails, or affiliations** — use anonymous block or placeholder
-- **Write complete sections, not outlines** — the output should be compilable LaTeX
-- **One file per section** — modular structure for easy editing
-- **Every claim must cite evidence** — cross-reference the Claims-Evidence Matrix
-- **Compile-ready** — the output should compile with `latexmk` without errors (modulo missing figures)
-- **No over-claiming** — use hedging language ("suggests", "indicates") for weak evidence
-- **Venue style matters** — all three venues (ICLR/NeurIPS/ICML) use `natbib` (`\citep`/`\citet`)
-- **Page limit = main body to Conclusion** — references and appendix do NOT count
-- **Clean bib** — references.bib must only contain entries that are actually `\cite`d
-- **Section count is flexible** — match PAPER_PLAN structure, don't force into 5 sections
-- **Backup before overwrite** — never destroy existing `paper/` directory without backing up
