# Paper Scaffold ## Overview Papers in a research monorepo follow one shape: a per-paper LaTeX directory that shares the repo's `references.bib`, harvests its results from a sibling code repo, and is tracked in a portfolio record. This skill scaffolds that shape so a new paper builds on day one and you only write prose. **Core principle:** a paper is a *harvest of the code* — result numbers come from a script that reads the source repo's corpus, never hand-typed. ## When to use - Starting a new first-author paper in a `papers/`-style repo. - "Scaffold a paper called X", "new paper from `<sister>`". - NOT for editing an existing paper's prose, or for one-off non-repo documents. ## Inputs - `<name>` — kebab-case paper / directory name (e.g. `kourai`, `velocity-fl-systems`). - `--from <repo>` (optional) — sibling code repo the results harvest from. - `--venue <venue>` (optional) — target venue, recorded in the header and portfolio. ## Config Read the `## paper` section of `<repo>/.claude/skill-context.md` for: `author`, `affiliation`, `email`, `bib` (default `../references`), `engine` (default `tectonic`, else `pdflatex`), and `portfolio` (default `LINEAGE.md`). Use sensible defaults if absent. ## Procedure 1. Refuse if `papers/<name>/` already exists — never overwrite a paper. 2. Copy `templates/main.tex.tmpl` → `papers/<name>/main.tex`, filling `__TITLE__` (title-cased from `<name>`; confirm with the user), `__AUTHOR__`, `__AFFIL__`, `__EMAIL__`, `__VENUE__`,
