Outline Budgeter (NO PROSE)

Purpose: prevent the most common survey failure mode: H3 explosion (too many tiny subsections) leading to a thin, outline-like PDF.

This skill rewrites outline/outline.yml into a paper-like budget:

• Final ToC target: ~6–8 H2 sections (Intro / Related Work + 3–4 core chapters + Discussion + Conclusion)
• H3 target: fewer, thicker subsections (per draft_profile: survey<=10, deep<=12)

Important: Discussion/Conclusion are appended in C5 merge (global sections), so the outline itself should usually be <=6 H2.

Inputs

• outline/outline.yml
• Optional (helps make merges evidence-aware):
  • queries.md (optional: if it sets draft_profile, use it to choose the H3 budget)
  • outline/mapping.tsv
  • outline/coverage_report.md
  • GOAL.md
