Paper Positioning Planner

论文定位规划器

Decide what the paper is selling, to whom, against which closest work, and with what evidence.

Use this skill when:

a project has enough idea/literature/evidence to ask what the paper should be
results are mixed and the contribution type may need to change
a draft feels unfocused or overclaims beyond evidence
figure review or reviewer simulation suggests the paper story is wrong
the user needs a primary claim, secondary claims, title/abstract direction, intro thesis, or related-work boundary
the paper may be a method paper, theory-guided method, empirical analysis, benchmark, diagnostic paper, systems paper, or negative/limitation paper
the user is deciding between target audiences or venues before polishing the text

Do not use this skill as a paragraph-level writing adapter. Use

conference-writing-adapter

after the positioning decision is clear.

Pair this skill with:

```
research-idea-validator
```
when the whole project may need pursue/revise/park/kill
```
literature-review-sprint
```
when closest work or community framing is unclear
```
algorithm-design-planner
```
when the chosen position changes the method specification
```
baseline-selection-audit
```
when the position depends on whether comparisons are reviewer-proof
```
figure-results-review
```
when visual evidence changes claim scope
```
paper-evidence-board
```
when positioning decisions must update claim/evidence/risk/action links
```
paper-reviewer-simulator
```
after positioning to stress-test the selected story
```
conference-writing-adapter
```
after positioning to rewrite sections for the target venue
```
research-project-memory
```
when positioning decisions should persist across sessions

确定论文要突出的核心价值、目标受众、对标研究以及支撑证据。

在以下场景中使用该技能：

项目已有足够的想法、文献或证据，需要明确论文的定位方向
实验结果参差不齐，可能需要调整贡献类型
草稿内容缺乏聚焦，或存在超出证据支撑的过度主张
图表评审或模拟审稿显示论文叙事存在偏差
用户需要确定主要主张、次要主张、标题/摘要方向、引言论点或相关研究边界
论文可能属于method paper（方法类论文）、theory-guided method（理论引导方法类论文）、empirical analysis（实证分析类论文）、benchmark（基准测试类论文）、diagnostic paper（诊断类论文）、systems paper（系统类论文）或negative/limitation paper（负面结果/局限性研究类论文）
用户在打磨文本前需要确定目标受众或投稿会议

请勿将该技能用作段落级写作适配工具。定位决策明确后，请使用

conference-writing-adapter

。

可搭配以下技能使用：

```
research-idea-validator
```
：当整个项目需要确定推进/修改/搁置/终止时
```
literature-review-sprint
```
：当对标研究或社区框架不明确时
```
algorithm-design-planner
```
：当选定的定位需要调整方法规范时
```
baseline-selection-audit
```
：当定位取决于对比内容是否能通过审稿时
```
figure-results-review
```
：当可视化证据需要调整主张范围时
```
paper-evidence-board
```
：当定位决策需要更新主张/证据/风险/行动关联时
```
paper-reviewer-simulator
```
：定位完成后，对选定的叙事进行压力测试
```
conference-writing-adapter
```
：定位完成后，针对目标会议重写各章节
```
research-project-memory
```
：当定位决策需要跨会话持久化时

Core Principles

核心原则

Positioning is a decision, not a list of possible stories.
The primary contribution must be supported by the strongest evidence, not by the user's favorite idea.
A smaller true claim is stronger than a broad brittle claim.
Secondary contributions should reinforce the primary story, not compete with it.
Closest work defines the novelty boundary and the reviewer attack surface.
The title, abstract, intro thesis, main figure, and result table should all sell the same core story.
Claims to avoid are as important as claims to emphasize.
A positioning decision should route concrete changes to writing, experiments, figures, or method design.

定位是一项决策，而非一系列可能的叙事选项。
主要贡献必须由最有力的证据支撑，而非基于用户偏好的想法。
精准且真实的主张比宽泛但脆弱的主张更有说服力。
次要贡献应强化核心叙事，而非与之冲突。
对标研究界定了创新性边界和审稿质疑的潜在方向。
标题、摘要、引言论点、核心图表和结果表应统一突出同一核心叙事。
明确应避免的主张与明确需强调的主张同等重要。
定位决策应明确指向写作、实验、图表或方法设计层面的具体调整。

Step 1 - Recover Project State

步骤1 - 还原项目状态

Collect:

one-sentence project idea or current paper thesis
target venue or audience, if known
current paper draft, outline, abstract, title, figures, or result tables
literature map and closest-work risks
baseline audit or missing-comparison risks
figure/results review outcomes
reviewer simulation or real review concerns
available evidence and unsupported claims

project memory IDs such as

CLM-###

EVD-###

RSK-###

ACT-###

FIG-###

, or

TAB-###

Write the current story as:

text

This paper sells [primary contribution] to [audience] by showing [evidence] against [closest work], while avoiding the claim that [unsupported overclaim].

If the sentence cannot be written, the likely decision is

revise-positioning

收集以下信息：

一句话概括的项目想法或当前论文论点
已知的目标会议或受众
当前论文草稿、大纲、摘要、标题、图表或结果表
文献图谱和对标研究相关风险
基准审核或缺失对比相关风险
图表/结果评审结果
模拟审稿或真实审稿的关注点
可用证据和无支撑的主张

项目记忆ID，例如

CLM-###

、

EVD-###

、

RSK-###

、

ACT-###

、

FIG-###

或

TAB-###

将当前叙事概括为：

text

This paper sells [primary contribution] to [audience] by showing [evidence] against [closest work], while avoiding the claim that [unsupported overclaim].

若无法写出该句子，则可能需要做出

revise-positioning

（调整定位）的决策。

Step 2 - Choose Paper Archetype

步骤2 - 选择论文类型（Paper Archetype）

Read

references/positioning-taxonomy.md

Choose one primary archetype:

method paper
theory-guided method
empirical analysis
benchmark or dataset
systems or tooling
application paper
diagnostic or mechanistic study
negative result or limitation paper
position or perspective paper
hybrid paper

State why other plausible archetypes are weaker. Do not let the paper be a vague hybrid unless the evidence truly supports two linked contributions.

阅读

references/positioning-taxonomy.md

。

选择一种核心论文类型：

method paper（方法类论文）
theory-guided method（理论引导方法类论文）
empirical analysis（实证分析类论文）
benchmark or dataset（基准测试/数据集类论文）
systems or tooling（系统/工具类论文）
application paper（应用类论文）
diagnostic or mechanistic study（诊断/机制研究类论文）
negative result or limitation paper（负面结果/局限性研究类论文）
position or perspective paper（立场/观点类论文）
hybrid paper（混合类论文）

说明其他看似可行的类型为何不够合适。除非证据确实支持两个关联的贡献，否则不要让论文成为模糊的混合类型。

Step 3 - Map Contributions to Evidence

步骤3 - 关联贡献与证据

Read

references/contribution-claim-map.md

Create:

primary contribution
secondary contributions
claims to keep
claims to narrow
claims to cut
evidence required for each claim
evidence currently available
closest-work distinction
reviewer risk if the claim stays

Every primary claim must have at least one strong evidence route. If no route exists, revise the paper archetype or route to more experiments.

阅读

references/contribution-claim-map.md

。

构建以下内容：

主要贡献
次要贡献
保留的主张
缩小范围的主张
删除的主张
每项主张所需的证据
当前可用的证据
与对标研究的差异
保留该主张可能面临的审稿风险

每项主要主张必须至少有一条有力的证据支撑路径。若不存在该路径，则需调整论文类型或规划更多实验。

Step 4 - Decide Audience and Venue Fit

步骤4 - 确定受众与会议适配性

Read

references/audience-venue-fit.md

when relevant.

Decide:

who should care first: method researchers, theorists, benchmark users, systems builders, application researchers, or empirical analysts
which community's standards define novelty and evidence
whether the target venue is compatible with the strongest story
what the paper should not try to satisfy
what related-work boundary is needed to prevent reviewer confusion

If the evidence fits a different audience better than the user's target venue, say so directly and give the least disruptive repositioning.

Step 5 - Select the Strategic Position

步骤5 - 选择战略定位

Read

references/decision-rules.md

Choose exactly one:

```
lock-position
```
: story is coherent; proceed to writing adaptation
```
revise-positioning
```
: core contribution remains, but title/abstract/claims/figures must shift
```
narrow-claim
```
: evidence supports a smaller paper than the current draft claims
```
change-archetype
```
: paper type should change, such as method to empirical analysis or diagnostic study
```
need-evidence
```
: positioning depends on missing experiment, baseline, figure, theorem, or literature check
```
park-paper
```
: current evidence does not support a viable paper story yet

Do not choose

lock-position

if closest-work, baseline, or figure evidence risks remain fatal.

阅读

references/decision-rules.md

。

选择且仅选择以下一种决策：

```
lock-position
```
（锁定定位）：叙事连贯，可进入写作适配阶段
```
revise-positioning
```
（调整定位）：核心贡献不变，但需调整标题/摘要/主张/图表
```
narrow-claim
```
（缩小主张）：证据支撑的论文范围小于当前草稿的主张
```
change-archetype
```
（变更类型）：需更改论文类型，例如从方法类改为实证分析类或诊断类
```
need-evidence
```
（补充证据）：定位依赖缺失的实验、基准、图表、定理或文献核查
```
park-paper
```
（搁置论文）：当前证据暂无法支撑可行的论文叙事

若对标研究、基准或图表证据仍存在致命风险，请勿选择

lock-position

。

Step 6 - Build Narrative Architecture

步骤6 - 构建叙事框架

Read

references/narrative-architecture.md

Produce:

candidate title direction
one-sentence thesis
abstract skeleton
intro paragraph roles
main figure or main table role
result-section ordering
related-work boundary
limitations to state proactively
claims to avoid

This should be strategic and section-level. Use

conference-writing-adapter

later for paragraph-level venue writing.

阅读

references/narrative-architecture.md

。

生成以下内容：

候选标题方向
一句话论点
摘要框架
引言段落功能
核心图表或核心表格的功能
结果章节的排序
相关研究边界
需主动说明的局限性
应避免的主张

以上内容应具备战略性且为章节级。后续段落级的会议适配写作请使用

conference-writing-adapter

。

Step 7 - Route Changes

步骤7 - 规划调整路径

Route every unresolved issue:

```
conference-writing-adapter
```
: position is clear and text needs venue-specific rewriting
```
paper-evidence-board
```
: claims/evidence/figures/risks must be synchronized
```
figure-results-review
```
: main figure/table does not support the selected story
```
baseline-selection-audit
```
: selected story needs stronger comparison defense
```
experiment-design-planner
```
: missing evidence must be planned
```
result-diagnosis
```
: negative or mixed results threaten the position
```
literature-review-sprint
```
: closest-work boundary remains unclear
```
algorithm-design-planner
```
: method needs to change to fit the selected claim

为每个未解决的问题规划调整路径：

```
conference-writing-adapter
```
：定位明确，文本需针对特定会议重写
```
paper-evidence-board
```
：需同步主张/证据/图表/风险
```
figure-results-review
```
：核心图表/表格无法支撑选定的叙事
```
baseline-selection-audit
```
：选定的叙事需要更有力的对比支撑
```
experiment-design-planner
```
：需规划补充缺失的证据
```
result-diagnosis
```
：负面或参差不齐的结果对定位造成威胁
```
literature-review-sprint
```
：对标研究边界仍不明确
```
algorithm-design-planner
```
：方法需调整以适配选定的主张

Step 8 - Write the Positioning Report

步骤8 - 撰写定位报告

Read

references/report-template.md

If saving to a project and no path is given, use:

text

docs/paper/positioning_plan_YYYY-MM-DD_<short-name>.md

The report must include:

current story diagnosis
selected paper archetype
positioning decision
primary and secondary contributions
claim/evidence map
closest-work and audience boundary
narrative architecture
claims to avoid
routed actions and next skills
memory update section

阅读

references/report-template.md

。

若保存到项目且未指定路径，请使用：

text

docs/paper/positioning_plan_YYYY-MM-DD_<short-name>.md

报告必须包含以下内容：

当前叙事诊断
选定的论文类型
定位决策
主要贡献与次要贡献
主张/证据关联图
对标研究与受众边界
叙事框架
应避免的主张
规划的调整路径与后续技能
记忆更新部分

Step 9 - Write Back to Project Memory

步骤9 - 写入项目记忆

Read

references/memory-writeback.md

when memory exists.

Update the smallest useful set of entries:

```
memory/decision-log.md
```
: selected paper position, archetype, target audience, and revisit triggers
```
memory/claim-board.md
```
: claims kept, narrowed, revised, cut, or blocked
```
memory/evidence-board.md
```
: evidence required by the selected story
```
memory/risk-board.md
```
: positioning, closest-work, overclaim, audience, and evidence risks
```
memory/action-board.md
```
: writing, figure, experiment, baseline, or literature actions
```
paper/.agent/
```
: title/abstract/main-figure/section positioning notes

Use certainty labels:

```
verified
```
for evidence checked against results, draft text, or sources
```
user-stated
```
for user goals and constraints
```
inferred
```
for strategic judgments and reviewer-risk predictions
```
unverified
```
for positions depending on unchecked current literature or missing results

当存在项目记忆时，阅读

references/memory-writeback.md

。

更新最必要的条目集合：

```
memory/decision-log.md
```
：选定的论文定位、类型、目标受众及重新审视触发条件
```
memory/claim-board.md
```
：保留、缩小范围、修改、删除或搁置的主张
```
memory/evidence-board.md
```
：选定叙事所需的证据
```
memory/risk-board.md
```
：定位、对标研究、过度主张、受众及证据相关风险
```
memory/action-board.md
```
：写作、图表、实验、基准或文献相关行动
```
paper/.agent/
```
：标题/摘要/核心图表/章节定位笔记

使用确定性标签：

```
verified
```
（已验证）：针对结果、草稿文本或来源核查过的证据
```
user-stated
```
（用户声明）：用户目标与约束
```
inferred
```
（推断）：战略判断与审稿风险预测
```
unverified
```
（未验证）：依赖未核查的最新文献或缺失结果的定位

Final Sanity Check

最终合理性检查

Before finalizing:

one primary story is selected
paper archetype is explicit
audience and closest-work boundary are clear
every primary claim has evidence or a routed action
unsupported claims are named and removed/narrowed
title/abstract/main-figure direction match the same story
next skill is unambiguous
project memory is updated when present

最终确定前，请检查：

已选定唯一核心叙事
论文类型明确
受众与对标研究边界清晰
每项主要主张均有证据支撑或已规划调整路径
已明确无支撑的主张并删除/缩小其范围
标题/摘要/核心图表方向统一于同一叙事
后续使用的技能明确
存在项目记忆时已完成更新
