Command

/research[G.4]-introduction

An optional natural-language instruction may follow the command. The AI will treat it as an additional constraint or supplement for this invocation.

Prerequisite: G.3 Abstract written

Before Writing: Required Steps

1. Read the full manuscript (avoid disconnection from already-written sections)
2. Read all existing references (References section or .bib file)
3. Read the === Paper Architecture === comment block at the top of the manuscript
4. Read docs/idea_report.md and docs/dev_log.md (find answers to writing questions here first)
5. Read example analysis if docs/manuscripts/examples/style-notes.md exists
6. Scan all annotations in the manuscript, list pending ones
7. Confirm writing plan with user before writing anything

See references/common-writing-constraints.md for full details.

Introduction Section-Specific Requirements

Backward Reasoning Before Writing (Master-cai introduction.md): Answer these four questions first (from idea_report.md):

1. What technical problem do we solve, and why is there no well-established solution?
2. What are the contributions of our pipeline?
3. What are the benefits and new insights from our contributions?
4. How to use prior methods to lead readers to our solved challenge?

Five-Part Structure:

• Part 1: Task and application
• Part 2: SOTA failure + root technical reason (RQ2)
• Part 3: Proposed method + why it works + new insight
• Part 4: Additional contributions
• Part 5: Experiment summary + contribution list

Contribution list: facts only, no "novel"/"significant"; each contribution maps to an experiment.

Examples: references/examples/pipeline-v1.md through pipeline-v3.md

Version Management

Back up before writing:

cp paper.md paper_{mm-dd_hh-mm}.md   # or .tex

Append modification record to file header after writing (see references/common-writing-constraints.md).

---

Reference Maintenance

When a new citation is needed, append immediately:

md:

[N] {Author}. "{Title}." *{Journal/Conference}*, {Year}.
> Core contribution: {what this paper does, one sentence}
> Reason for citation: {where in the paper, why cited here}

LaTeX .bib:

% [Core contribution] {one-sentence contribution}
% [Reason for citation] {section}: {why cited here}
@article{key, ...}
