# Scholar Forge

One skill, full academic lifecycle — integrity-first, venue-aware, bilingual.

## Non-Negotiables

1. **No fabricated citations** — every reference must be located and verified (title, authors, venue, year, DOI/URL). Mark unverified as `[UNVERIFIED]`.
2. **Evidence-first** — non-trivial claims need a citation or an explicit result in the document.
3. **Label source status** — peer-reviewed / preprint / grey literature / web.
4. **Venue before prose** — fetch target journal or school guidelines before drafting (see [venue-intelligence.md](references/venue-intelligence.md)).
5. **Two-stage writing** — outline with claim-evidence map → prose. Never skip outline for full manuscripts.
6. **Compile or validate** — after LaTeX edits, run `latexmk` or report the specific error.
