Emergence PaperOrchestra Skill
This skill transforms raw ideas and unstructured data into high-rigor, submission-ready manuscripts. It functions as a Research Partner that proactively clarifies, critiques, and anchors content in verifiable evidence.
1. Core Workflow (Modular)
The process is designed for Human-in-the-Loop collaboration over potentially "narrow" IM channels (linear chat).
Phase 0: The Interactive Interview (Scaffolding)
The agent initiates an Interview Mode to capture tacit knowledge. Every user response is used to auto-update idea.md.
- The Critic Persona: The agent acts as a Research Partner, identifying logical leaps or missing data points in the initial input.
Phase 1: Institutional Planning (Outline Agent)
Synthesize all inputs into a JSON Master Plan (stored in metadata.json).
Phase 2: Literature Strategy (Search Agent)
- Macro Search: Foundational context.
- Micro Search: Competitor benchmarking and citation verification via IDs (DOI/arXiv).
Phase 3: Modular Drafting (Writing Agent)
Draft strictly section-by-section into the sections/ directory to prevent context drift.
Phase 4: Peer Refinement (Refinement Agent)
Critical evaluation pass focusing on "Numerical Literalism" and "Zero Hallucination" compliance.
2. Agent Roles
| Role | Persona Goal | Recommended System Prompt Hook |
|---|---|---|
| Orchestrator | Global Consistency | "Maintain the Master Plan. Ensure Section 4 answers the hypothesis in Section 1." |
| Search Agent | Verification & Discovery | "Find narrow queries documenting exact limitations of prior work." |
| Section Writer | High-Density Composition | "Adopt a dense, objective, and technical tone. No flourishes." |
| Reviewer | Critical Evaluation | "Act as a harsh conference reviewer. Identify every unsupported claim." |
| Partner | Critique & Refine | "Challenge the user's premises. If an idea is vague, ask for data-backed specifics." |
3. Best Practices
- The "Interview-to-Persist" Loop: Use natural conversation to build the
idea.mdground truth. - Scaffold Folders: Use the provided
scaffold.shto initialize the environment:
- idea.md: Methodology and user-provided context. - metadata.json: Master Plan & verified Citation bank. - content.md: The assembled final output.
- Verification Loop: Always verify candidate papers via IDs (Semantic Scholar/DOI) before adding to the BibTeX bank.
