Purpose

Research academic topics, produce typst documents with proper citations and cetz plots, and iteratively explain until you truly understand.

Autonomy Level: L1-L2

• L1 (Teaching mode): Guide question, confirm understanding at each step
• L2 (Writing mode): Set direction, AI executes, review output

Workflow

Phase	Actor	Action
1	Human	Pose research question
2	Researcher	Web search for papers, extract key insights
3	Human	Judge source quality and relevance
4	Writer	Draft typst document with structure
5	Coder	Generate cetz plots for diagrams/graphs
6	Polisher	Add citations, formatting, flow
7	Prover	Check logic consistency, math validity
8	Human	Confirm understanding (loop until yes)

Input Required

• Research question or paper URL
• Output format preference (notes, summary, full document)
• Target audience level (undergrad, grad, expert)

Typst Output Structure

#import "@preview/cetz:0.2.2"

= Title

== Background
// Context and motivation

== Key Concepts
// Main ideas with cetz diagrams

== Analysis
// Detailed breakdown

== References
// BibTeX-style citations

Human Checkpoints (REQUIRED)

1. Is the research question well-formed?
2. Are sources trustworthy? (AI cannot reliably judge this)
3. Does the explanation actually make sense to YOU?
4. Is the typst output publication-worthy?

Tools Used

• Web search for papers
• typst compile for validation
• cetz for plotting
