Generates academic research proposals for PhD applications with a structured five-phase workflow: requirements gathering, literature collection, outline generation, content writing, and review. It pulls from WebSearch for open access materials and integrates with Zotero MCP to leverage your existing library of closed-access papers. Outputs 2,000-4,000 word proposals following Nature Reviews academic conventions, supporting both STEM and humanities fields in English or Chinese. The workflow is methodical, asking for approval on the outline before generating content, and emphasizes prose-based writing over bullet points. If you're applying to doctoral programs and need a proper research proposal that references real literature rather than hallucinated citations, this handles the structure and academic voice while you focus on your actual research ideas.
