🔁 LaTeX research paper
Builds a full research paper in LaTeX with drawn-in charts, keeps compiling and fixing it, and never invents facts.
Use it when: You have research material and need a clean, checkable paper.
🛑 Stops when: The paper compiles with zero errors, has all required sections, and every claim is traceable. Or five rounds run out.
Copy this loop
Write a LaTeX paper on [topic] using only [my sources and data]. If something is missing, use a clear placeholder and never make up claims or citations. Use these sections in order: Abstract, Introduction, Methods, Results, Discussion, Conclusion, References. Draw all charts and tables with LaTeX itself (TikZ, pgfplots, booktabs), no image files. Every claim must point to a citation, equation, data point, or labeled assumption. Compile, fix the worst issue, and compile again, at most [5] times. Finish with the file, the log, and three weak spots.
Review every change the agent makes before you keep it. Set a budget or round limit — the prompt includes one.

More loops like this
Check one claim with a source ledger
Investigates one disputed claim, keeping a running list of sources and whether each supports or weakens it.
Test competing explanations
Splits facts from guesses, builds several possible explanations, and runs the test most likely to change your mind.
Family-history proof
Tests one family-history question, like who someone's parent was, against the best records you can find.
Verified paper list
Searches research databases for papers on a topic, checks each paper's ID is real, and keeps only relevant ones.
Research into a finished document
Researches a question and keeps filling the biggest gaps until a memo or brief is ready to act on.
Fact-check before you publish
Lists every checkable fact, quote, and number in a draft, checks each against a real source, and fixes the risky ones.
