Project Management Skill

Trigger phrases	Action
New project, start research	project_action(action="create", name, description, paper_type)
Switch, change project	project_action(action="list") → project_action(action="switch", slug)
Set paper type	project_action(action="setup")
Browse literature first	project_action(action="start_exploration")
Convert to formal project	project_action(action="convert_exploration", name, description, paper_type)
Change settings	project_action(action="update", paper_type/target_journal/status/citation_style)
Check current project	project_action(action="current", include_files=True)
Check workspace status	workspace_state_action(action="get")

Legacy verbs create_project, list_projects, switch_project, get_current_project, setup_project_interactive, start_exploration, convert_exploration_to_project, sync_workspace_state Kept for compatibility only; first-party orchestration always prioritizes going through the façade.

Workflow

A: Create new project

1. Ask the user: project name (must be in English, Chinese → translate), description, paper type
2. project_action(action="create", name, description, paper_type)
3. project_action(action="setup") — interactive setup
4. workspace_state_action(action="sync", doing="project setup", next_action="concept development")

B: Switch project

1. project_action(action="list") → user selects → project_action(action="switch", slug)
2. Read projects/{slug}/.memory/activeContext.md

C: Exploration mode

1. project_action(action="start_exploration") → create ~exploration temporary workspace
2. Search + save literature
3. project_action(action="convert_exploration", name, description) → literature automatically migrated

Project Memory

Timing	Action
After switching	Read .memory/activeContext.md
Before leaving	Write .memory/activeContext.md(progress + literature + notes)

Common questions

Question	Solution
Chinese name	Agent translates to English
Not sure which to use	project_action(action="list")
Browse literature first	project_action(action="start_exploration")
Change paper type	project_action(action="update", paper_type="...")

Journal Profile (journal settings)

The system has built-in submission profiles for the top 20 anesthesiology journals (templates/journal-profiles/), including word limits, figure/table limits, citation format, etc.

How to use：

• The user only needs to tell Copilot the target journal name (e.g., "I want to submit to BJA")
• Agent reads the corresponding YAML → copies to projects/{slug}/journal-profile.yaml
• All Writing Hooks automatically apply that journal's constraints

Available commands：

# 查看所有可用期刊
read_file templates/journal-profiles/_index.yaml

# 讀取特定期刊設定
read_file templates/journal-profiles/bja.yaml

# 套用到專案
cp templates/journal-profiles/bja.yaml projects/{slug}/journal-profile.yaml

💡 Remind the user: you can directly ask Copilot to read the journal's settings data to create journal-profile.yaml, with no manual operation needed.
