Academic Paper Strategist

Overview

This is the planning skill for Codex-based software engineering theses. Use it before drafting or finalizing a thesis from a real repository. Its job is to reduce hallucination risk, map project evidence to chapters, and define only the claims, figures, tables, and tests that can be justified by the actual codebase and supplied school format sample.

Companion flow:

1. academic-paper-strategist - planning, evidence mapping, rewrite scope
2. academic-paper-composer - content rewrite and final manuscript assembly
3. drawio - redraw engineering-style thesis figures when required
4. playwright - capture real runtime screenshots when the thesis needs running-system evidence
5. doc - produce and visually check the final DOCX

Do not skip the strategist step when the user asks for a submission-ready undergraduate thesis from an existing project and draft.
