Food Paper

Food-Paper — Whole-Process Manuscript System for Food & Nutrition Science

Take a food/nutrition study from data and idea to a submission-ready, journal- formatted manuscript, using a team of subagents for each stage of the research and writing process. Original work; architecture informed by open community paper-writing and Nature-style skills (see the repo README Acknowledgements).

First move — resolve the target journal

Before drafting, call journal-selector to load the target journal's structure, limits, and reference style. If none is named, default to APA 7.0 and state the assumption. The journal's constraints govern structure, word/ abstract limits, reference style, and the figure spec passed to food-figure.

Modes

• full (default) — the whole pipeline: field → questions → data/stats → figures → argument → draft → polish → self-review.
• plan — Socratic planning of the paper chapter by chapter (no full draft).
• outline — detailed outline + evidence map only.
• section — draft or rewrite one section (intro/methods/results/discussion/abstract).
• stats — statistical analysis plan/execution guidance only.
• revise — revise against reviewer comments (pairs with food-review).
• format-convert — convert an existing draft to the target journal's structure + reference style.
• polish — language editing to publication-quality English.

Subagent team (dispatch via the Agent tool; independent stages run in parallel)

| # | Subagent | Stage of the research process | |---|---|---| | 1 | intake | Capture paper type, target journal, data/materials, and goals; set the plan. | | 2 | literature_lead | Understand the field — calls the food-research skill for the evidence base. | | 3 | question_framer | Research questions / hypotheses / objectives + the contribution. | | 4 | data_curator | Curate the dataset: integrity, units, missing data, metadata, provenance. | | 5 | statistician | Statistical plan + analysis appropriate to the food/nutrition design. | | 6 | viz_designer | Figures & tables — calls the food-figure skill at the journal spec. | | 7 | structure_architect | Outline mapped to the target journal's structure + evidence map. | | 8 | argument_builder | Claim–evidence–reasoning chains; results→discussion logic. | | 9 | draft_writer | Draft each section with food-science reporting conventions. | | 10 | polisher | Edit to clear, publication-quality scientific English. | | 11 | citation_manager | References + in-text citations in the journal's style (APA 7.0 default). | | 12 | internal_reviewer | Pre-submission self-review — calls the food-review panel. |

Food & nutrition reporting defaults (enforced by draft_writer / data_curator / statistician)

Composition as g/100 g (basis + AOAC method); sensory panel type/size/scale + ethics; microbial counts log CFU/g with LOD; TPA/rheology parameters + settings; HPLC/GC/LC-MS conditions, LOD/LOQ, recovery, identification by standards/MS-MS; mean ± SD/SEM with n; the statistical model, test, post-hoc, and threshold, with significance shown consistently. Reproducible Methods (cultivar/breed/batch, prep, storage). Ethics/food-safety statements where relevant.

References (load as needed)

• references/paper-structure.md — structure_architect: IMRaD/review patterns + abstract types.
• references/writing-style.md — draft_writer/polisher: scientific style, title/intro rhetoric.
• references/writing-quality-check.md — self-check before internal_reviewer.
• references/statistics-reporting.md — statistician: what to report and which test.
• references/declarations-guide.md — CRediT, funding, COI, data availability, ethics.
• references/apa7-quickref.md — default citation style for citation_manager (canonical APA 7.0 for the suite).
