Write Paper

Build

papers/<slug>/

: a venue-specific paper assembled from the survey and the contribution reports. The survey supplies related work; the reports supply technical content; the root

references.bib

supplies every citation.

Read First

```
papers/README.md
```
— the paper lifecycle contract
```
survey/survey.pdf
```
and the reports of candidate contributions

references/writing-rules.md

,

references/venue-fit.md

Procedure

Venue. If not fixed, compare candidates with the user using
```
references/venue-fit.md
```
. Fill
```
venue.md
```
: venue, track, deadlines, page/format rules, anonymization policy, template source, and the venue's specific badge/artifact requirements — from the real call for papers, never from memory.
Framing. Write
```
framing.md
```
: the story, the claims, which contributions support which claim and what each provides, and what is deliberately out of scope. Every claim must map to a contribution or to survey-grounded evidence.
Template. Import the venue's official LaTeX template into
```
manuscript/
```
; rename the entry point to
```
main.tex
```
. Use the bib system the venue class dictates (bibtex/natbib or biblatex), reading the root
```
references.bib
```
via relative path. The base manuscript defaults to numeric (biblatex); the venue class sets the final style. The same root
```
references.bib
```
is shared with the survey (author-year) — bibliography style is per-document, not per-entry; contribution reports stay numeric.
Write. Section by section: related work distilled from the survey (theme-first, never paper-by-paper); methods/results from the contribution reports and their figures; every
```
\cite{}
```
resolves in the root
```
.bib
```
. Follow
```
references/writing-rules.md
```
.
Build and check.
```
make paper P=<slug>
```
, verify page limits and format rules from
```
venue.md
```
, run
```
make check
```
.
Recommend an adversarial-review pass before any submission.

External Mode (Overleaf)

When the user asks to work on an external LaTeX project (e.g. a collaborator's Overleaf), use the overleaf MCP if configured: read or contribute to that project directly. Nothing in this scaffold depends on the external project; treat it as a foreign workspace, and apply

references/writing-rules.md

there too.

Rules

A claim enters the manuscript only with its evidence: a contribution, a survey-grounded citation, or an explicitly labeled open question.
Never invent or restyle bibliography entries; a missing entry means missing SOTA work — stop and report.
Figures come from contribution folders; copy them in, never recreate data by hand.

Done When

```
venue.md
```
and
```
framing.md
```
complete, the manuscript builds clean on the venue template within its limits,
```
make check
```
passes
