LAW Write

Write or edit LaTeX paper sections following Li's Academic Writing conventions. Every output must conform to the 21 writing rules defined in references/writing-rules.md.

Before writing

Read these files to understand the paper's context:

1. CLAUDE.md — the paper's narrative (challenges, design decisions, key results) at the bottom
2. AGENTS.md — paper macros (\sys), venue, page limit, section structure
3. main.tex preamble — document class, loaded packages, defined macros
4. Existing sections in sections/ — labels already used, cross-references to maintain

If CLAUDE.md has an unfilled "Paper Narrative" section, warn the user: "The paper narrative in CLAUDE.md is not filled in. I can write without it, but the content may not align with the paper's story. Fill it in for best results."

Writing rules (summary)

Core rules (see references/writing-rules.md for full details with examples):

1. Active voice, present tense, first person ("We find that...")
2. Lead every paragraph with its main claim
3. Quantify every claim with specific numbers in normal weight
4. Name your discoveries with \emph{}
5. Never hedge — "This exposes a gap" not "This may suggest a gap"
6. Ground mechanisms in expert behavior: "Operators do X. Our system does Y."
7. One idea per sentence; no stacked subordinate clauses
8. No hyphens; use "which" or "that" instead
9. No \textbf{} mid-paragraph (bold numbers are OK); \noindent\textbf{Label.} for run-in heads
10. Code names in \texttt{}, system name as \sys
11. \resizebox for all tables; algorithm/algpseudocode only for algorithms
12. Leave \textcolor{red}{##?} for missing numbers, \textcolor{red}{TODO:} for unfinished work

Section discipline:

1. Know your section's scope — never preview results from later sections
2. Design sections reference problems established earlier; never re-litigate them
3. Introductions follow SCQA structure (see references/scqa-guide.md)
