Results Section Revision

Overview

Use this skill for late-stage Results revision when the science is mostly stable but the writing architecture is not. It is narrower than scientific-writing and manuscript-optimizer: the job here is to repair subsection titles, bridge paragraphs, paragraph openings, and local argumentative flow.

Use scientific-writing for general prose drafting or rewriting. Use manuscript-optimizer when the claim hierarchy, evidence chain, or figure logic is still unstable. Use this skill when the section is largely right but still reads like stitched figure captions rather than a controlled argument.

Quick Checks

Before revising any Results subsection, check:

1. Is the title selling the conclusion rather than the method?
2. Does the first sentence of each paragraph state that paragraph's point?
3. Are openings like we asked, we examined, or to test this overused?
4. Are abstract words masking a more specific noun?
5. Is the relationship to the previous paragraph explicit?
6. Is the paragraph only reporting a result, or advancing the argument?
7. Does the paragraph close by stating what changes in interpretation?
