# Paper Narrative

Use this skill to improve the argument a scientific paper makes.

Workflow:

1. Extract the central claim, audience, evidence chain, figure order, and decision each figure must support.
2. Identify gaps where a figure claims more than the data proves, where methods are missing, or where the sequence of evidence is weak.
3. Reorder, merge, split, or cut sections and panels based on the argument, not surface polish.
4. Send figure-level work to `figure-composer` and single-panel plot work to `figure-style`.
5. Save a revision plan or manuscript draft with source/provenance notes.

The output should read as a paper's evidence arc, not as a generic writing checklist.
