Paper Section Writer
Write a publication-quality section for an academic paper.
Input
$0 — Section name: abstract, introduction, background, related-work, methods, experimental-setup, results, discussion, conclusion$1 — (Optional) Path to context file (research plan, results, prior sections)
Workflow
Step 1: Gather Context
Read the paper's existing .tex files, experiment logs, result files, and any provided context. Understand: title, contributions, methodology, key results, figures, tables.
Step 2: Write the Section
Load section-specific tips from references/section-tips.md. Before every paragraph, include a brief plan as a LaTeX comment (% Plan: ...).
Step 3: Two-Pass Refinement
Apply both refinement passes from references/refinement-prompts.md:
- Pass 1: Fix errors (unenclosed math, broken refs, hallucinated numbers, duplicate labels)
- Pass 2: Remove redundancies, compress, ensure smooth transitions

- Refinement prompts and error checklist:

Output
LaTeX fragment (no \documentclass, no preamble). All math enclosed in $...$ or \begin{equation}, all figures referenced with \ref{}, all cited works use \cite{}, no placeholder text.
Quality Checklist
- All math enclosed properly
- All
\ref{} and \cite{} valid
- No TODO/TBD/FIXME markers
- Numbers match experimental logs exactly
- Writing style is objective — no hype words
- Section length appropriate for venue
