Crypto Paper Writing

Crypto Paper Writing

Write from an evidence ledger, not from a desired story. The manuscript may be polished only to the strength of verified claims.

Scope

In scope: contribution architecture, title/abstract/introduction, preliminaries, construction, theorem/proof presentation, security discussion, parameters/experiments, related work, limitations, ethics/open science, conclusion, LaTeX/Markdown organization, and venue readiness.

Out of scope: inventing results/citations/proofs/experiments, hiding gaps, asserting global novelty, deciding authorship, or submitting without human authorization.

Required Inputs

• research brief and target audience/venue;
• verified claim-evidence ledger and terminology/security model;
• theorem/proof/reduction status, parameters, experiments/artifacts;
• verified bibliography/related-work synthesis and novelty limitations;
• ethics/disclosure/open-science constraints.

Success Criteria

• Every abstract/introduction contribution maps to body evidence.
• Definitions, notation, models, assumptions, parameters, and claims are consistent.
• Proof sketches versus full proofs and author claims versus verified evidence are labeled.
• Related work compares closest results fairly and bounds novelty.
• Tables/figures/cost comparisons are reproducible and compatible.
• Limitations, ethics, responsible disclosure, open science, anonymity, conflicts, and AI/human responsibility are handled per current venue policy.
• The manuscript has a clear problem–barrier–insight–result–evidence narrative without overstating significance.

Failure Modes

• Idea without completed evidence: return a research brief/outline with evidence slots, not a result-bearing manuscript.
• Proof/experiment/citation gap: expose it and block affected claim language.
• Unverified novelty: use bounded search language.
• Unknown/changing venue rules: produce venue-neutral draft and require official policy refresh.
• Conflicting notation/parameters: stop prose propagation until reconciled.

Never fabricate citations, theorem results, proof steps, experiments, statistics, artifacts, reviewer feedback, or venue compliance.

Workflow

1. Apply protocol.md to freeze claims/evidence and design the paper architecture.
2. Read top-venue-gates.md and verify the current target venue's official rules.
3. Draft sections in dependency order; keep claim/evidence/gap traceability.
4. Run consistency, citation, proof-status, parameter, figure/table, ethics/artifact, anonymity, and venue audits.
5. Return manuscript plus unresolved evidence/decision register.
6. Use evaluation-scenarios.md for future independent evaluation.

Output Contract

Return: paper brief; target-venue policy snapshot/date; claim-evidence ledger; detailed outline; manuscript/diff; theorem/proof/experiment/citation status; figures/tables/artifact links; ethics/open-science/limitations text; consistency audit; unresolved blockers; human sign-off checklist.
