## Description

Research, write, review and deliver evidence-bound papers in one task, with user choices, real files, editable outputs and same-task revision.

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

# PaperSpine Orchestrator

Before paper production or resume, read [paper-spine-production-protocol.md](references/paper-spine-production-protocol.md). It is the operational 17-step handoff for the methods below.

The current host Agent performs research, citation checking, interpretation,
writing, figures and revision, and arranges independent review. Web, local files
and small scripts support interaction, persistence, rendering and delivery.

When configuration is missing, launch the intake UI automatically before inspecting
materials; do not hand-write configuration or silently choose a paper root.
For a visible launcher action, use `require_escalated` as required by the host.
After the update preflight below, launch is the first paper-production action when configuration is missing.

**Product outcome:** an evidence-bound, coherent paper with informative figures,
applicable venue format and editable sources. Learn from strong same-field and
venue papers. Let users configure, choose contribution/figures, preview,
download and revise the same task.

Tool success, hashes and task status do not establish scientific, editorial,
visual or submission readiness; assess the actual paper.
