Paper Writing Contract Planner

Create the paper's writing contract: a durable agreement about what the paper is, what each section must do, which claims are allowed, what evidence each claim requires, and how later writing skills should execute the draft. This skill plans the "paper formula" before prose writing.

Use this skill for:

• locking the target venue, paper archetype, and positioning
• choosing the section order and paragraph roles
• mapping claims to required evidence slots
• assigning jobs to figures, tables, captions, and result paragraphs
• defining related-work boundaries and limitation policy
• selecting exemplar patterns and writing style rules
• defining writing-layer permissions for layout, fluency, argument, technical consistency, style consistency, venue adaptation, and final polish
• forbidding unsupported claims, tone, or result language
• creating or updating paper/.agent/writing-contract.md

Do not use this skill to write full paper prose. Use paper-writing-assistant after the contract exists. Use paper-writing-memory-manager after creating or updating the contract so section status, dependencies, style rules, and open writing threads reflect the new agreement. Use paper-positioning-planner first if the primary contribution is still undecided. Use paper-evidence-board if the main task is a claim/evidence inventory. Use experiment-design-planner when missing evidence needs a runnable experiment plan.
