    Example session with this skill installed

    Use paper-outline to create an IMRaD outline for an 8-page paper on federated learning for healthcare, targeting a top ML venue.

    • Read your context and instructions
    • Compiled the paper-outline

    Produced an 8-page IMRaD outline for the federated-learning-for-healthcare paper, with per-section page budgets, key messages, and figure/table placement.

    Outline

    1. Introduction (1 page)

    • Hook: privacy blocks centralizing patient data (cite 2 or 3 papers).
    • Gap: existing FL methods underperform on non-IID hospital data.
    • Contribution list (3 bullets) and a contributions figure (Fig. 1).

    2. Related Work (0.75 page)

    • FL fundamentals, then healthcare FL, then non-IID robustness (Table 1: comparison).

    3. Method (2 pages)

    • 3.1 Problem setup (formulas).
    • 3.2 Proposed client-personalized aggregation (Fig. 2: architecture).
    • 3.3 Convergence analysis (theorem and proof sketch).

    4. Experiments (2 pages)

    • 4.1 Setup: datasets (MIMIC-III, eICU, Fed-ISIC), baselines (FedAvg, FedProx, SCAFFOLD).
    • 4.2 Main results (Table 2); 4.3 Ablations (Fig. 3); 4.4 Robustness to non-IID (Fig. 4).

    5. Discussion and Limitations (0.5 page)

    • Privacy-utility trade-off, honest limitations.

    6. Conclusion (0.25 page)

    • Contributions and one future direction.

    Figure/table placement (7 items max)

    • Fig. 1 contributions; Fig. 2 architecture; Fig. 3 ablations; Fig. 4 non-IID; Table 1 related work; Table 2 main results.

    Next steps

    • Write in this order: Method, then Experiments, then Introduction, then Conclusion.
    • Run title-generator and abstract-writer once the draft is complete.

    Connects securely to your tools. The creator never sees your data.

    What you get

    Plan venue-specific paper structures with precise page/word count budgets.Align messy research drafts with professional IMRaD or survey conventions.Coordinate multi-author writing with granular paragraph-level guidance.Map out strategic figure and table placements for maximum narrative impact.

    About this skill

    The problem

    Blank-page paralysis is a productivity killer. Researchers start writing without a plan, then discover halfway through that the structure does not fit the venue or the story does not flow. This skill gives you the skeleton before you write a single word.

    What it does

    • Generates a structured outline following IMRaD and venue-specific conventions.
    • Provides section-by-section plans with page budgets and key messages.
    • Places figures and tables and gives paragraph-level guidance.
    • Checks narrative flow so each section leads naturally into the next.
    • Works for full papers, short papers, surveys, and thesis chapters.

    Why this beats prompting it yourself

    General prompts return a generic list of section names. This skill assigns a page budget, a key message, and a figure or table to every section, and it validates the narrative flow so structural weaknesses are exposed before you start writing.

    Use cases

    • Planning a new paper before writing begins.
    • Restructuring an existing draft that feels disorganized.
    • Aligning a paper structure with a specific venue's conventions.
    • Coordinating multi-author writing by assigning clear sections.
    • Planning a survey paper, position paper, or thesis chapter.

    Known limitations

    The outline quality depends on the contribution details, target venue, and page limit you provide. It plans structure, not the actual prose, so you still need the Write Pack skills to produce the text.

    Important

    It plans the manuscript structure; it does not write the paper for you. Run it after methodology-designer, then pair each section with the corresponding writing skill.

    Why buy it

    Use it when starting a paper, restructuring a draft, or planning a thesis chapter. A strong outline makes the writing phase dramatically faster and keeps reviewers from spotting structural gaps.
