Title: 🤖 Create research-paper Copilot agent for generation and polishing

---

Description

Create a Copilot agent for generating and polishing research-style documents.

This agent should support both:

• generation (from a topic or prompt)
• polishing (from an existing draft)

The goal is to produce clean, structured Markdown compatible with Renderflow templates.

---

Goals

• Define a reusable research paper content specification
• Support both generation and transformation workflows
• Enforce consistent structure and formatting

---

Requirements

---

1. File Location

Create:

.github/agents/research-paper.agent.md

---

2. Structure

Agent must define:

• purpose
• output contract
• behavior rules
• formatting constraints

---

3. Required Sections (IMRaD)

Output MUST include:

- Title
- Abstract
- Introduction
- Methods
- Results
- Discussion / Conclusion

---

4. Behavior Modes (Merged)

Generation Mode

• Generate full research-style document from topic
• Maintain academic tone
• Populate all required sections

---

Polishing Mode

• Accept existing Markdown input
• Normalize structure
• Enforce section headings
• Improve clarity and flow
• Remove redundancy
• Ensure consistent formatting

---

5. Output Requirements

• Valid Markdown
• Clean heading hierarchy
• No malformed syntax
• Compatible with Pandoc

---

6. Style Constraints

• Formal academic tone
• Clear, concise writing
• Structured paragraphs
• Logical section transitions

---

7. Copilot Guidance

• Detect whether input is empty (generate) or provided (polish)
• Do not hallucinate sections that already exist — normalize instead
• Prefer clarity over verbosity
• Ensure output is deterministic in structure

---

Acceptance Criteria

• Agent file created
• Supports both generation and polishing
• Enforces research paper structure
• Output is valid Markdown
• Works well with Renderflow pipeline

---

Notes

This agent defines the content contract.

Templates will define presentation.
