# Statistical Writing (One Skill)

This is a single "workbench" skill for statistical manuscripts written in LaTeX.

Guidance is split into focused references under `references/`. Deterministic checks live in `scripts/`. Ready-to-use templates live in `assets/`.

## Positioning: Hybrid + JDS profile

Default behavior is journal-agnostic. For Journal of Data Science (JDS), apply the JDS profile:

- Maintain strong literature positioning and explicit novelty.
- Require clean cross-referencing and cleaned BibTeX.
- Prefer vector graphics for figures in the manuscript.
- Enable line numbers for review drafts.
- Include reproducibility artifacts (code/data/supplement) when possible.

## When to use this skill

Use this skill when the user wants to:

1. Generate compliant front matter (title, abstract, keywords).
2. Expand outlines into complete sections in LaTeX.
3. Audit a manuscript for structure, style, references, and reproducibility quality.
4. Draft reviewer reports.
5. Draft point-by-point response letters.
6. Scaffold a book manuscript from a chapter plan.

## Inputs to ask for (minimal)

Prefer file paths over pasted text.

- Manuscript tasks: root TeX file (for example `main.tex`).
- Reference checks: BibTeX file(s) (for example `refs.bib`).
- Response letters: full reviewer/editor comments + revised text if available.
- Reviewer report: manuscript or extended abstract being reviewed.
- Book manuscript: chapter list, audience, tone, and desired notation style.

If details are missing, proceed with placeholders like `	odo{...}` and ask only critical questions.

## Output conventions

Unless the user requests otherwise:

- Return LaTeX-ready output.
- For audits: rank issues as HIGH/MED/LOW with concrete fixes.
- For rewrites: include revised text and short change log.
- Never invent results or citations. Use `	odo{add citation}` or `	odo{verify result}`.

## Task routing map

Open only the reference files needed for the task.

- Title: `references/10-title.md`
- Abstract: `references/11-abstract.md`
- Keywords: `references/12-keywords.md`
- Outline to section drafting: `references/60-outline-to-section.md`
- Introduction: `references/20-introduction.md`
- Data: `references/21-data.md`
- Methods: `references/22-methods.md`
- Simulation (ADEMP): `references/23-simulation.md`
- Application/Results: `references/24-application.md`
- Discussion: `references/25-discussion.md`
- Other sections: `references/30-other-sections.md`
- General style/storyline: `references/31-general-style.md`
- English pitfalls: `references/32-english.md`
- BibTeX/natbib: `references/40-bibtex-natbib.md`
- Labels/cross-references: `references/41-cross-referencing.md`
- Reviewer report: `references/50-review-report.md`
- Response to reviewers: `references/51-response-to-reviewers.md`
- Research proposal/project cycle: `references/70-project-proposal.md`
- Book manuscript workflow: `references/71-book-manuscript.md`
- Tooling/reproducibility: `references/80-tooling.md`

## Built-in assets

- Response letter (LaTeX): `assets/response-letter-template.tex`
- Reviewer report (Markdown): `assets/reviewer-report-template.md`
- Reviewer report (LaTeX): `assets/reviewer-report-template.tex`
- Generic section skeleton: `assets/section-skeleton.tex`
- Manuscript starter (LaTeX): `assets/manuscript-template.tex`
- Book manuscript starter (LaTeX): `assets/book-manuscript-template.tex`

## Optional scripts (deterministic checks)

- Manuscript checks: `python scripts/check_tex.py path/to/main.tex`
- Citation/BibTeX checks: `python scripts/check_bib.py --tex path/to/main.tex --bib path/to/refs.bib`
- Combined run: `python scripts/audit_paper.py --tex path/to/main.tex --bib path/to/refs.bib`

These checks are heuristic and do not compile LaTeX.

## Workflows

### Workflow A - Finished paper to abstract + keywords

1. Read introduction/methods/results/discussion.
2. Use `references/11-abstract.md` and `references/12-keywords.md`.
3. Draft abstract (default 6-8 sentences, acceptable 4-10, no citations, no math notation).
4. Draft 6-10 keywords, alphabetized, avoid repeating title terms.
5. Return:
   - `egin{abstract}...nd{abstract}`
   - `\keywords{...}` (or venue-specific command)
   - short compliance checklist.

### Workflow B - Manuscript audit
