Tech Paper Template

Overview

Before drafting any prose, a technical paper needs a full logical skeleton: the research background, the specific limitations of prior work, the key idea or research goal, the technical challenges that prevent a naive solution, the methodology modules that address each challenge, and the contributions that the paper will claim. This skill fills in that skeleton via a standardised thinking-template table, positions the paper type, and runs four self-consistency checks on the logic chain.

The output is a filled-in thinking template plus a consistency report. It is suitable for advisor-student brainstorming sessions, weekly progress meetings, and the final planning step before writing begins. It does not draft Introduction prose (use intro-drafter for that); it operates at the logical-skeleton layer.
