Paper Writing Memory Manager

Maintain the paper's dynamic writing memory. This skill is the global state layer for nonlinear paper writing: it records what is being written, why wording changed, which claims appear where, which sections are stale, and what must be updated when evidence, claims, figures, tables, captions, or style decisions change.

Use this skill for:

• initializing paper/.agent/writing-memory/
• recovering the current writing state at the start of a session
• recording section status, paragraph status, caption/table/figure edits, and open writing threads
• mapping claims, evidence, results, figures, tables, captions, and paper locations into a dependency map
• deciding the impact of a local edit or new experiment result across the whole draft
• marking affected sections stale after claim/evidence/result changes
• recording style, terminology, rhythm, and venue-specific writing decisions
• handing off work between section-specific writing skills

Do not use this skill to write the prose itself. Use paper-writing-assistant and section-specific writing skills for drafting. Do not use it as the claim/evidence source of truth; use paper-evidence-board for claim/evidence status. Do not use it for long-term cross-project memory; use research-project-memory for project-level state.
