Outline Agent

This is the first stage of the PaperOrchestra pipeline from arXiv:2604.05018, a research paper workflow system. It reads your raw materials (idea document, experimental logs, LaTeX template, conference guidelines) and produces a strict JSON outline with three components: a plotting plan that specifies figure types and data sources, a literature search strategy that separates intro breadth from related work depth, and a section-by-section writing plan with mandatory citation hints for every dataset and model mentioned. The implementation is faithful to the paper's appendix, down to enforcing timeline cutoffs so you don't cite work published after your conference deadline. Validation is strict because downstream agents depend on the schema. Use this when you want structured planning before writing, not freeform drafting.
