This repo packages two Claude Code skills: one for planning a paper and one for writing it. The strategist skill helps you analyze venues, build a literature-backed gap, and produce an outline; the composer skill turns that outline into a draft with quality checks and final review.
Builders who use Claude Code to plan and write philosophy or interdisciplinary papers.
You can move from a research idea to a checked manuscript without reworking your structure and standards each time.
Uses a strategist skill for planning and a composer skill for drafting, so you can move from outline to manuscript in stages.
Requires each research gap to be supported by 3–5 citations before the outline moves forward.
Analyzes 8–10 sample papers to extract venue-specific writing standards.
Scores outlines across seven dimensions with a 35-point review model before writing begins.
Adds three validation gates and two Python verification scripts to catch weak outlines and draft issues.
Includes workflows aimed at PhilArchive, arXiv, PhilSci-Archive, PsyArXiv, and similar venues.
