# WUBING2023/PaperSpine

PaperSpine is a motivation-driven skill for learning from strong academic papers, building a paper’s central argument, and rewriting manuscripts through evidence-aware blueprints, revision matrices, and LaTeX-safe audits.

## What it is
PaperSpine is an orchestrated AI-agent skill (for Claude Code, Codex, OpenClaw, and Hermes CLI) that guides academic writing: it learns from strong example papers, confirms a paper's core contribution with the user, and rebuilds manuscripts via evidence-aware blueprints, revision matrices, and LaTeX-safe audits. It is distributed as a single 'paper-spine' skill with 12-stage routing, 40+ playbooks, and installers that sync to multiple agent hosts.

## Use cases
- write a journal or conference paper with an AI coding agent
- restructure a manuscript around its central contribution
- revise a paper based on reviewer-style feedback
- generate LaTeX, PDF, or Word output for an academic manuscript
- learn writing patterns from strong example papers before drafting
- audit LaTeX manuscripts for structural and evidence issues
- write a survey, technical report, or competition paper

## When to choose
- you use Claude Code, Codex, OpenClaw, or Hermes CLI and need structured academic writing help
- you want a stage-by-stage workflow from contribution definition to final manuscript
- you need LaTeX-safe revision and audit tooling for papers

## When to avoid
- you need a standalone GUI word processor rather than an agent skill
- you want fully automated paper generation without human confirmation of contributions
- you do not use any of the supported AI agent hosts
