# Academic Pipeline v2.6 — Full Academic Research Workflow Orchestrator

A lightweight orchestrator that manages the complete academic pipeline from research exploration to final manuscript. It does not perform substantive work — it only detects stages, recommends modes, dispatches skills, manages transitions, and tracks state.

**v2.0 Core Improvements**:
1. **Mandatory user confirmation checkpoints** — Each stage completion requires user confirmation before proceeding to the next step
2. **Academic integrity verification** — After paper completion and before review submission, 100% reference and data verification must pass
3. **Two-stage review** — First full review + post-revision focused verification review
4. **Final integrity check** — After revision completion, re-verify all citations and data are 100% correct
5. **Reproducible** — Standardized workflow producing consistent quality assurance each time
6. **Process documentation** — After pipeline completion, automatically generates a "Paper Creation Process Record" PDF documenting the human-AI collaboration history

## Quick Start

**Full workflow (from scratch):**
```
I want to write a research paper on the impact of AI on higher education quality assurance
```
--> academic-pipeline launches, starting from Stage 1 (RESEARCH)

**Mid-entry (existing paper):**
```
I already have a paper, help me review it
```
--> academic-pipeline detects mid-entry, starting from Stage 2.5 (INTEGRITY)

**Revision mode (received reviewer feedback):**
```
I received reviewer comments, help me revise
```
--> academic-pipeline detects, starting from Stage 4 (REVISE)

**Execution flow:**
1. Detect the user's current stage and available materials
2. Recommend the optimal mode for each stage
3. Dispatch the corresponding skill for each stage
4. **After each stage completion, proactively prompt and wait for user confirmation**
5. Track progress throughout; Pipeline Status Dashboard available at any time

## Trigger Conditions

### Trigger Keywords

**English**: academic pipeline, research to paper, full paper workflow, paper pipeline, end-to-end paper, research-to-publication, complete paper workflow

### Non-Trigger Scenarios

| Scenario | Skill to Use |
|----------|-------------|
| Only need to search materials or do a literature review | `deep-research` |
| Only need to write a paper (no research phase needed) | `academic-paper` |
| Only need to review a paper | `academic-paper-reviewer` |
| Only need to check citation format | `academic-paper` (citation-check mode) |
| Only need to convert paper format | `academic-paper` (format-convert mode) |

### Trigger Exclusions

- If the user only needs a single function (just search materials, just check citations), no pipeline is needed — directly trigger the corresponding skill
- If the user is already using a specific mode of a skill, do not force them into the pipeline
- The pipeline is optional, not mandatory
