An AI-agent skill for scoping, structuring, drafting, and reviewing empirical theses, dissertations, undergraduate theses, TFGs, master's theses, and TFMs.
The skill is intentionally format-neutral: it can help with Markdown, Word-oriented prose, Google Docs-oriented prose, or LaTeX. LaTeX is supported when the project uses it, but it is not required.
- Define and narrow a thesis topic before outlining.
- Turn a broad subject into research questions, hypotheses, scope, and significance.
- Build chapter and subsection outlines for undergraduate, master's, and doctoral empirical theses.
- Draft sections from evidence, data, figures, and sources.
- Review thesis drafts at macro and micro levels.
- Keep Results factual and Discussion interpretive.
- Write stronger paragraphs using claim, evidence, and interpretation.
