Use for the "Intro Outline" step in a NeurIPS paper workflow when you need outline output for the Introduction stage from verified inputs. Best for when refining or drafting the introduction portion of a neurips-style paper; when you need a reusable artifact rather than a one-off paragraph rewrite; not for inventing unsupported experiments, citations, proofs, or contributions.
