Thesis Source Role Mapper

Triggers & routing

• Trigger: thesis material mapping, source role map, paper to chapter, chapter role mapping, paper-to-chapter assignment, material repositioning.
• Use when: The material inventory has already been completed, and it is necessary to decide what role each piece of material plays in the thesis, rather than continuing to write directly according to the original paper narrative.
• Skip if: Currently, only the wording of an already stable single chapter is being revised, and no new source materials have been introduced.
• Network: none.
• Guardrail: This is not translation; it is not simply paper -> chapter bucketing; it is necessary to explicitly state the "role in the thesis."

This skill is responsible for mapping existing materials to the internal thesisroles and responsibilities。

Inputs

• codex_md/material_index.md
• initial Markdown chapter materials
• existing thesis / PDF / Overleaf / figure materials
• codex_md/question_list.md

Outputs

• codex_md/chapter_role_map.md

Load Order

Always read:

• references/overview.md
• references/role_taxonomy.md

Machine-readable contract:

• assets/source_role_map_contract.json

Workflow

1. enumerate existing source materials
2. clarify the research question corresponding to each piece of material
3. determine its role in the thesis
4. record reusable figures, key experiments, and key citations
5. mark the original paper narrative that should not be directly copied

Output Rule

At minimum, the following fields must be covered:

• source material
• corresponding chapter
• corresponding research question
• role in the thesis
• reusable content
• content that needs rewriting / weakening
• relationship with the preceding and following chapters
