Can I use this skill without research evidence packs?

No, the skill is designed to prevent 'hollow writing' and requires writer context packs and evidence bindings to ensure all claims are grounded in data.

How does it handle citations and bibliography keys?

It strictly uses citation keys present in your ref.bib file and enforces a predefined citation scope for each subsection to prevent hallucinated references.

What is an 'argument move' in this context?

An argument move is a structured writing technique used by the skill to ensure prose contains specific logical elements like tension, A-vs-B contrasts, and evaluations, rather than just descriptive text.

What are the required inputs for this skill?

It requires an approved DECISIONS.md, an outline.yml, chapter briefs, writer context packs, and a bibtex file.

Does it generate headings within the section files?

No, it produces body-only files for H3 subsections and chapter leads to ensure they can be merged into a final document without heading conflicts.

Writes evidence-grounded academic survey prose into structured per-section files for independent QA and modular drafting.

About

Subsection Writer is a specialized drafting tool designed for high-integrity academic and technical writing within the Codex pipeline. Unlike generic text generators, it operates on a semantic contract of 'argument moves'—such as establishing tensions, contrasting citations, and identifying protocol-aware limitations—to ensure every paragraph is anchored in verified evidence packs. By splitting drafts into individual section files under a citation-scoped contract, it enables granular quality assurance and prevents the formation of 'hollow' or unverified prose, making it an essential tool for researchers and technical authors who prioritize evidence-first methodology.

Key Features

Enforcement of academic argument moves including tension, contrast, evaluation, and limitation.
Multi-role internal prompting (Section Author, Evidence Steward, Style Harmonizer) for tonal consistency.
Evidence-based drafting using structured writer context packs and citation scoping.
Automated manifest generation to track citation coverage and anchor facts across sections.
Modular file output structure for independent section-by-section quality assurance.
88 GitHub stars

Use Cases

Developing modular technical documentation that requires evidence-first verification.
Drafting technical survey papers with high citation density and verified evidence.
Collaborative academic writing where individual sections need independent QA before merging.
