Manuscript Ingest

Triggers & routing

• Trigger: ingest paper, manuscript text, provide paper, paper.md, input paper, import manuscript, review input.
• Use when: You are running the paper-review pipeline and need output/PAPER.md before claims-extractor.

Transforms a manuscript source file into the canonical text artifact used by paper-review.

Inputs

One manuscript source from the workspace, typically:

• inputs/manuscript.md
• inputs/manuscript.txt
• inputs/manuscript.pdf

Output

• output/PAPER.md

Script boundary

scripts/run.py should:

• find the simplest available manuscript source
• extract faithful text
• write the full text to output/PAPER.md

It should not summarize, critique, or reformat the manuscript into a review.

Contract

The output must preserve:

• paper body text
• section headings when available
• page markers when extractable

Acceptance

• output/PAPER.md exists
• it contains the manuscript body rather than only title/abstract

Non-goals

• claim extraction
• evidence auditing
• review writing
