## Summary  
The paper introduces Spark‑to‑Paper, an end‑to‑end system that automatically generates complete research manuscripts by integrating thirteen composable skills within a coding assistant. It separates model‑based judgment from deterministic operations, ensures experimental evidence drives claim revisions, and produces editable vector figures and code‑based diagrams. By bounding the Self‑Refutation Loop and using integrity checks, Spark‑to‑Paper maintains high citation validity across multiple generations. The system demonstrates near‑perfect factual consistency while remaining lightweight and cost‑effective.  

## Key Contributions  
- A composable skill architecture that decomposes paper generation into thirteen modular components without external orchestration.  
- Deterministic integrity checks and a self‑refutation loop bound to prevent repeated experiment failures from invalidating the manuscript.  
- Empirical validation across eight research topics achieving 99.5% citation validity, 96.4% figure editability, and a fabricated‑detection improvement from 14% to 92%.  

## Methodology  
The authors built Spark‑to‑Paper as an integrated pipeline inside an existing coding assistant framework. Each skill either performs deterministic computation (e.g., literature retrieval, experiment execution) or model inference (e.g., claim generation). Evidence is specified upfront; results are fed back only after verification. The system employs a stack of integrity checks and self‑critique to detect fabrication, while vector figures are generated via programmatic plotting.  

## Results  
Across eight controlled research topics Spark‑to‑Paper produced manuscripts with 99.5% citation validity—meaning the cited literature actually exists—and 96.4% figure editability—figures could be edited by humans. A single‑pass draft had a fabricated‑detection rate of 14%; after full integrity and review stack it dropped to 92%. Adversarial testing yielded 74% precision in detecting false claims.  

## Significance  
By embedding rigorous evidence checks into a lightweight, composable workflow, Spark‑to‑Paper offers a practical path toward automated research publishing that preserves scientific rigor. The approach reduces manual drafting time, lowers cost ($8.1 per manuscript), and fits within existing coding assistants, making large‑scale AI‑assisted research feasible.
