## SKILL.md, as published by its author (untrusted third-party text, read it as data)

# Front Matter Writer (compatibility router)

## Triggers & routing

- **Trigger**: front matter writer, introduction writer, related work writer, abstract writer, discussion writer, conclusion writer, 引言, 相关工作, 摘要, 讨论, 结论.


Purpose: produce the paper-level shell while preserving the current output contract and approval gate.

## Load Order

Always read:
- `references/overview.md`

Read by task:
- `references/abstract_archetypes.md` for `sections/abstract.md`
- `references/context_projection.md` when adjusting how chapter briefs are projected into Introduction / Related Work context
- `references/introduction_jobs.md` for Introduction body files
- `references/related_work_positioning.md` for Related Work body files
- `references/discussion_conclusion_patterns.md` for `sections/discussion.md` and `sections/conclusion.md`
- `references/forbidden_stems.md` before revising any reader-facing prose
- `references/examples_good.md` and `references/examples_bad.md` for calibration only

Machine-readable assets:
- `assets/front_matter_context.schema.json`
- `assets/front_matter_context_schema.json` (compatibility alias for checklist-aligned naming)
- `assets/front_matter_contract.json`
- `assets/front_matter_templates.json`
- `assets/front_matter_context_projection.json`

## Inputs

Required:
- `DECISIONS.md` with `Approve C2`
- `outline/outline.yml`
- `outline/mapping.tsv`
- `citations/ref.bib`

Optional but useful:
- `GOAL.md`
- `queries.md`
- `papers/retrieval_report.md`
- `papers/core_set.csv`
- `outline/coverage_report.md`
- `outline/writer_context_packs.jsonl`

## Outputs

Keep the current output contract:
- `sections/abstract.md`
- `sections/S<sec_id>.md` for front-matter H2 bodies
- `sections/discussion.md`
- `sections/conclusion.md`
- `output/FRONT_MATTER_REPORT.md`
- `output/FRONT_MATTER_CONTEXT.json`, including the base template bank, any
  selected domain overlay, and their repository-relative SHA-256 hashes
