Use when deciding which paper-related skill to use or how to sequence manuscript work under `/data/boom/Papers` from project setup through submission and rebuttal.
Use this skill as the routing map for paper work. It does not replace the specialized skills. It tells you which one to use next.
Default assumption: unless the user explicitly names a conference venue, the manuscript should follow the journal-oriented, Nature-style workflow.
When writing follows experiments or analysis performed across multiple sessions, freeze a compact handoff first: current paper story, supported findings, unresolved decisions, and the figure list that actually carries those findings.
Use:
paper-bootstrap when a project is new, messy, or missing a source of truthnature-portfolio-playbook when the target is Nature, Nature Methods, Nature Biotechnology, or the venue fit among those journals is still unclearscientific-writing when drafting or rewriting sections in prosemanuscript-optimizer when the paper's claim structure, evidence chain, terminology, or prose need revisionresults-section-revisionfigure-planner when the main bottleneck is figure logic, panel roles, or legend synccitation-verifier when bibliography hygiene or source verification is the bottlenecksubmission-audit when the paper is near submission or resubmission and needs a preflight passrebuttal-response when reviewer comments exist and a response letter plus aligned manuscript edits are neededml-paper-writing only when the user explicitly wants a conference paper for venues such as NeurIPS, ICML, ICLR, ACL, AAAI, or COLMFor most papers under /data/boom/Papers, prefer this order:
