manuscript-as-code
Treat manuscripts as software: version control, reproducible builds, figure pipelines, CI, and structured repo layout. Helps teams avoid 'final_v7' chaos and ensures submission-ready artifacts.
Best use case
manuscript-as-code is best used when you need a repeatable AI agent workflow instead of a one-off prompt.
Treat manuscripts as software: version control, reproducible builds, figure pipelines, CI, and structured repo layout. Helps teams avoid 'final_v7' chaos and ensures submission-ready artifacts.
Teams using manuscript-as-code should expect a more consistent output, faster repeated execution, less prompt rewriting.
When to use this skill
- You want a reusable workflow that can be run more than once with consistent structure.
When not to use this skill
- You only need a quick one-off answer and do not need a reusable workflow.
- You cannot install or maintain the underlying files, dependencies, or repository context.

# Manuscript as Code（论文工程化） ## 目标 把“写论文”升级成“交付可复现的出版工程”： - 结构清晰：任何人进仓库都知道哪里改正文、哪里改图、哪里改引用 - 可复现：一条命令能构建 PDF/HTML；CI 自动验证 - 可审计：每张图/每个结果都有来源（代码/数据/参数） 适用： - 多人协作写作（导师/合作者/跨机构） - 反复投稿/返修（需要明确改动轨迹） - 图表多、实验多、容易“找不到版本”的项目 --- ## 推荐仓库结构（最小可行） 见 `templates/repo-structure.md`。核心思想： - `manuscript/`：只放正文与引用（source-of-truth） - `figures/`：每张图一个目录（source + out） - `build/`：所有生成物（可删除，可再生） - `submission/` 与 `revision/`：投稿与返修阶段产物 --- ## 元规则（工程化的关键） ### 1) 生成物与源文件分离 - 源：`figures/fig-02/src/plot.py` - 产物：`figures/fig-02/out/fig-02.pdf` - 禁止把产物当源文件编辑（比如在 PDF 上涂改） ### 2) 每张图都要能“重生成” 最少要求： - 一条命令 + 固定参数能导出最终图（PDF/TIFF） - 记录依赖版本与随机种子（如果有） ### 3) 把“投稿约束”写成配置 推荐维护： - `submission/submission-manifest.yml`（统一记录规格与完成度） --- ## 案例（推荐学习） - Manubot：`manubot/rootstock`（论文的 CI/协作写作范式） - Deep review：`greenelab/deep-review`（评审/返修视角）
