Table Filler (index tables, evidence-first)

Triggers & routing

• Trigger: table filler, fill tables, evidence-first tables, index tables, 表格填充, 索引表.
• Use when: table schema exists and evidence packs are ready; you want a compact, citation-backed index table to support later writing and Appendix table curation.

Goal: produce outline/tables_index.md as an internal, citation-backed index.

This file is a planning/traceability artifact:

• it is useful for debugging coverage and for quickly seeing what evidence exists
• it should NOT be pasted into the paper verbatim

Reader-facing tables belong in outline/tables_appendix.md and are curated by appendix-table-writer.

Default mode: semantic (LLM-first)

Treat this as filling a table artifact from evidence packs:

• restate evidence pack content in compact cells
• attach citations in the row (avoid cite-dump paragraphs)

Workflow (explicit inputs)

• Read outline/table_schema.md first (it defines what each table must answer).
• Read queries.md:draft_profile when present (course_paper requires one index table; survey / deep require two).
• Use outline/subsection_briefs.jsonl + outline/evidence_drafts.jsonl to fill the subsection map and pick in-scope citations.
• Use outline/anchor_sheet.jsonl to fill the anchor-fact table (prefer quant/eval hooks).
• Validate cite keys against citations/ref.bib.

Inputs

• outline/table_schema.md
• outline/subsection_briefs.jsonl
• outline/evidence_drafts.jsonl
• outline/anchor_sheet.jsonl
• citations/ref.bib

Output

• outline/tables_index.md
