Use this skill for requests like 'help with my thesis', 'find a research topic', 'literature review', 'methodology design', 'write my thesis', 'proofread my thesis', 'dissertation', 'journal submission', 'research design', and other academic thesis writing needs. Existing manuscripts or reference lists can augment the relevant phase. However, actual data collection/analysis execution, statistical software operation, and journal submission system operation are outside the scope of this skill."

# Thesis Advisor — Thesis Writing Support Full Pipeline

An agent team collaborates to perform topic selection, literature review, methodology design, writing, and proofreading.

## Execution Mode

**Agent Team** — 5 agents communicate directly via SendMessage and cross-verify each other's work.

## Agent Roster

| Agent | File | Role | Type |
|-------|------|------|------|
| topic-explorer | `.claude/agents/topic-explorer.md` | Topic exploration, research question formulation | general-purpose |
| literature-analyst | `.claude/agents/literature-analyst.md` | Literature survey, critical review | general-purpose |
| methodology-expert | `.claude/agents/methodology-expert.md` | Research design, analysis method selection | general-purpose |
| writing-coach | `.claude/agents/writing-coach.md` | Thesis structure design, draft writing | general-purpose |
| proofreader | `.claude/agents/proofreader.md` | Proofreading, format verification, consistency review | general-purpose |

## Workflow

### Phase 1: Preparation (Orchestrator performs directly)

1. Extract from user input:
    - **Discipline**: Major and sub-field
    - **Thesis type**: Master's / Doctoral / Journal article / Undergraduate thesis
    - **Topic of interest** (optional): Specific topic or keywords
    - **Advisor's research area** (optional): Lab research direction
    - **Existing materials** (optional): Existing manuscripts, reference lists, data
    - **Deadline** (optional): Submission date
2. Create a `_workspace/` directory at the project root
3. Organize the input and save it to `_workspace/00_input.md`
4. If existing materials are provided, copy them to `_workspace/` and adjust the relevant phase
5. Determine the **execution mode** based on the scope of the request

### Phase 2: Team Assembly and Execution

| Order | Task | Agent | Depends On | Deliverable |
|-------|------|-------|-----------|-------------|
| 1 | Topic exploration | topic-explorer | None | `_workspace/01_topic_proposal.md` |
| 2 | Literature review | literature-analyst | Task 1 | `_workspace/02_literature_review.md` |
| 3 | Methodology design | methodology-expert | Tasks 1, 2 | `_workspace/03_methodology_design.md` |
| 4 | Draft writing | writing-coach | Tasks 1, 2, 3 | `_workspace/04_draft_manuscript.md` |
| 5 | Proofreading | proofreader | Task 4 | `_workspace/05_proofread_report.md` |

**Inter-agent communication flow:**
- topic-explorer completes -> sends research questions and keywords to literature-analyst; sends hypotheses and variables to methodology-expert
- literature-analyst completes -> sends methodology trends from prior studies to methodology-expert; sends literature review content to writing-coach
- methodology-expert completes -> sends full methodology design to writing-coach
- writing-coach completes -> sends completed draft to proofreader
- proofreader completes -> on critical findings, requests corrections from the relevant agent (max 2 rounds)

### Phase 3: Integration and Final Report

1. Verify all files in `_workspace/`
2. Confirm that all critical proofreading items have been addressed
3. Report the final summary to the user
