# Drafting a Manuscript
Turn stable synthesis pages into publishable prose. Every claim gets a citation. Every citation resolves in `output/bibtex/references.bib`. No inventing, no paraphrasing from memory — the wiki is the single source of truth.
**Announce at start:** "Using drafting-manuscript to draft <chapter/section> into `<path>`."
<SOFT-GATE>
Before drafting, check:
(1) At least one `knowledge/synthesis/*.md` with `status: stable` exists AND is referenced by the draft task
(2) Every source cited in the target section exists as `knowledge/sources/*.md` AND has a BibTeX entry
(3) `wiki-lint` is green on the knowledge tree
(4) The research plan `<slug>-plan.md` contains an explicit Draft task for this output file
If a condition is unmet: tell the user which (e.g. "no stable synthesis yet"),
ask for a short reason to draft anyway, write it into
`knowledge/_meta/gate-overrides.log`, and start the draft. Repeated overrides
on (3) are a maintenance signal.
</SOFT-GATE>
## When to use
- A plan Draft task is current (`executing-research-plan` routes here)
- Synthesis page(s) are stable and user asks for chapter/article draft
- Rewriting a chapter after peer-review revisions (iterate via same skill)
**NOT for:** first-draft brainstorming (use `brainstorming-research`), unsynthesized material (go back and synthesize first), grant research narratives from scratch (use `grant-finder`).
## Checklist
1. **Confirm plan task** — find the exact entry in `<slug>-plan.md`; confi
