Q-Intro

Draft and refine introduction sections for academic manuscripts. Supports interview-based drafting from scratch and diagnostic refinement of existing drafts.

References

  • references/introduction_template.md — structural guidance (draft dynamically, not verbatim)
  • references/interview_questions.md — interview protocol and refinement diagnostic
  • ../references/apa_style_guide.md — APA formatting, numbers, notation, formulas

Core Principles

  • Narrative prose; no bullet points, em-dashes, or standalone introductory paragraphs
  • Prefer 3-12 sentence paragraphs; each paragraph has one clear through-line
  • Trace a single narrative arc through the literature, grounded in the target discipline first
  • Introduce theoretical frameworks as the resolution to a need established in the preceding paragraph
  • Bridge every paragraph transition explicitly: each opening resolves or extends the prior paragraph's conclusion
  • Design research questions with clear scope progression (e.g., descriptive, relational, conditional)
  • Enumerate contributions with parallel structure; include a brief roadmap at conclusion
