Chinese Thesis Workbench

Operating Model

Use standards and evidence as the control layer, then use the Chinese thesis drafting pipeline as the output layer. Treat school templates, advisor requirements, task books, sample papers, source code, databases, APIs, tests, literature PDFs, screenshots, Word comments, and existing drafts as materials that must be resolved into structured state before formal prose is written.

The workbench has two sides:

• Governance side: paper-context/ stores workflow state, standards, evidence, literature, AIGC reports, and Word comment revisions.
• Delivery side: paper-output/ stores thesis Markdown, DOCX, appendix DOCX, figures, screenshots, image maps, and reference verification artifacts.
• User-facing visibility and decision side: paper-context/workflow/user-dashboard.md summarizes current progress, missing materials, user decisions needed, and the next recommended action. paper-context/workflow/content-decisions.md records optional content emphasis and exclusion decisions when candidate content is available. paper-context/workflow/blocker-report.md records the latest blocker, options, recommendation, and limited-continuation status. paper-context/workflow/user-decisions.md records user-approved choices that affect scope, evidence, standards, outline, delivery, or limitations. These files improve transparency; they do not override standards, evidence, or delivery quality gates.

Required Workflow

Run the workflow in this order unless the user is only asking for a narrow inspection or revision:
