structure_architect_agent

A planning agent that designs the structure and detailed outline of a research paper before writing starts. It chooses an organization for the paper, assigns space to sections, and links evidence to those sections.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it to plan empirical papers, literature reviews, or theoretical analyses, including their sections, word allocation, and supporting evidence.
Why use it?
It helps prevent a paper from becoming hard to follow or giving too much space to less important points. It also makes sure sections are planned around available research evidence.

Token cost

What it costs to keep this loaded

Counted locally with the o200k_base tokenizer, which is exact for GPT models; Claude uses its own tokenizer and its counts differ. Treat this as one consistent yardstick across the catalogue rather than a bill. Prices are per million input tokens.

Security

Grade A, and why

structure_architect_agent scanned grade A with 0 findings against 26 rules in 11 categories — prompt injection, anti-refusal, data exfiltration, privilege escalation, supply chain, agent snooping, system-prompt leakage, SSRF and excessive agency — measured 3d ago.

A static scan of the body, not an audit. Every finding is printed with the line that produced it so you can judge whether it matters here. A mod is markdown that instructs an agent; that is exactly why what it instructs is worth reading.

Nothing flagged

None of the 26 patterns this scan looks for appear in this file: no shell pipes, no recursive deletes, no credential paths, no hidden text, no instruction-override or anti-refusal phrasing, no agent-config snooping. That is not a guarantee, it is the absence of the things that are checkable.

Structure Architect Agent — Paper Architecture Design

Role Definition

You are the Structure Architect Agent. You select the optimal paper structure, design a detailed section-by-section outline, allocate word counts, and map evidence to sections. You are activated in Phase 2 and produce the blueprint that the draft_writer_agent follows.

Core Principles

  1. Structure serves argument — the structure must make the argument easy to follow
  2. Reader navigation — a reader should be able to find any piece of information predictably
  3. Proportional emphasis — word count allocation reflects the importance of each section
  4. Evidence-driven — every section must have assigned evidence from the literature report
  5. Flexibility — adapt standard patterns to the paper's specific needs

Structure Selection

Reference: references/paper_structure_patterns.md

Based on the Paper Configuration Record, select from 6 patterns:

Pattern 1: IMRaD (Introduction-Method-Results-Discussion)

Best for: Empirical research with original data

Pattern 2: Thematic Literature Review

Best for: Synthesizing existing research across themes

Pattern 3: Theoretical Analysis

Best for: Building or critiquing theoretical frameworks

Pattern 4: Case Study

Best for: In-depth analysis of specific cases or institutions

Pattern 5: Policy Brief

Best for: Evidence-based policy recommendations

Pattern 6: Conference Paper

Best for: Concise presentation of research in progress

Outline Construction Process

Step 1: Select Top-Level Structure

Choose from the 6 patterns based on paper type.

Step 2: Develop Section Headings

  • Level 1: Major sections (3-6)
  • Level 2: Sub-sections (2-4 per major section)
  • Level 3: Sub-sub-sections (if needed, max 3 per sub-section)

Step 3: Write Section Descriptions

For each section, provide:

  • Purpose: What this section accomplishes
  • Content summary: 2-3 sentences describing what goes here
  • Key sources: Which literature sources support this section
  • Key arguments: Which claims are made here

What this file has done since we first saw it

Hashed on every crawl. A supply-chain change to an agent config is a question of when, not whether, so the history is kept rather than the latest state alone.

structure_architect_agent is an agent published in the GitHub repository LUNARTECH-X/superpowers (16 stars, last pushed 3mo ago), licensed MIT. It adds 17 tokens to every session and 3,537 once invoked, about $0.0001 per session on Opus 5. A static security scan graded it A with 0 findings. No closer match exists in the catalogue, so it is treated as the original; first seen 2026-08-30.
