Judge and reshape the STORY a paper's figures tell. Input is the work itself — manuscript (or abstract) + figure deck — no hand-written brief. `derive_paper_brief_task(abstract, captions)` builds the prompt whose JSON is pitch/vision/per-figure-claims; a handling-editor reviewer on the full deck returns hook_verdict (would Fig 1 make me send this for review?), arc (hook→mechanism→evidence→application), figure_moves (panels in the wrong figure), missing_panels (concrete analyses to RUN)…

Collected from public GitHub. Every version is saved exactly as it was and never changes. Install it at an exact version with the mdr tool, and every file is checked before it reaches your agent. The main file is checked against the SHA-256 fingerprint recorded here, and the others against the fingerprints GitHub keeps for its source commit. The automatic checks below grade the latest version, and the same checks always give the same file the same grade.

What the file says

# paper-narrative

**Outermost tier.** Judge and reshape the _story_ a paper's figures tell. Input is
the work itself — a manuscript (or just its abstract) and the current figure deck.
No hand-written brief required.

## When to load

Paper writing or revision. You have a draft and a set of figures and you want to
know: is Figure 1 a hook? Is content in the right figure? What's missing? What
should die? Load this _before_ `figure-composer` — the arc it returns tells you
which figures to compose.

## Loading the kernel

The helpers live in `kernel.py` next to this file. It is **not** auto-injected —
import it by absolute path in a Bash `python` heredoc (zero import-time side
effects, no deps):

```bash
python3 - <<'PY'
import importlib.util
K = "${CLAUDE_SKILL_DIR}/kernel.py"
spec = importlib.util.spec_from_file_location("pn_kernel", K)
k = importlib.util.module_from_spec(spec)
spec.loader.exec_module(k)
print([n for n in dir(k) if not n.startswith("_")])
PY
```

The kernel is pure prompt/schema builders plus one validator
(`paper_brief_schema`, `narrative_review_schema`, `derive_paper_brief_task`,
`narrative_review_task`, `finalize_paper_brief`);
…

How to install

The exact contents, by fingerprint
mdr add emaballarin/ccplugins/paper-narrative@sha256:ece2df2791b3d53d

The line at the top of this page pins the label git:20261003.faedaf3, which is what most people want. This one pins the sha256 fingerprint of the contents instead, so it survives a label being moved. Either way the exact version is written to mdr.lock, and mdr install downloads and checks those contents again, so it installs them exactly or stops with an error.
