## Description

Write one survey-quality paragraph from evidence packs (tension → contrast → evaluation anchor → limitation).

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

# Grad Paragraph (survey paragraph micro-skill)

## Triggers & routing

- **Trigger**: grad paragraph, paragraph micro-structure, argument paragraph, 研究生段落, 论证段落, 对比段, 段落写作.
- **Use when**: you are drafting `sections/S*.md` (H3 body) and want subsection-specific, evidence-bounded prose instead of templates.


Purpose: produce a **single paragraph** that reads like real survey prose, not “outline expansion”.

This is a writing micro-skill you can apply repeatedly inside `subsection-writer` (per H3 file under `sections/`).


## Role cards (use explicitly)

### Argument Planner

Mission: decide the paragraph’s tension/contrast/eval/limitation before writing.

Do:
- Write a 4-line plan (kept out of final prose).
- Ensure planned sentences can be grounded in evidence/citations.

Avoid:
- Writing from headings or generic axis labels.

### Paragraph Author

Mission: turn the plan into one content-bearing paragraph with embedded citations.

Do:
- Use explicit contrast markers (whereas/in contrast).
- Include at least one evaluation anchor token (task/metric/constraint).
- End with a limitation that changes interpretation.

Avoid:
- Narration and repeated template stems.


## Role prompt: Paragraph Author (argument move)

```text
You are writing one paragraph of a technical survey.

Your job is to perform one argument move under evidence:
- tension/question (why this matters here)
- explicit contrast (A vs B; not a list)
- evaluation anchor (task/metric/constraint)
- limitation (what breaks transfer or comparability)

Style:
- natural prose, content-bearing
- no narration (“This paragraph surveys…”)
- no repeated discourse stems across paragraphs

Constraints:
- do not invent facts or citations
- embed citations inside the sentence that needs them
- stay within the subsection’s citation scope
```

## What this paragraph must contain

In one paragraph (typically 4, 6 sentences), cover:
